hi
how's it going ?
i’m staying close to home which for me is no different from usual
i'm choosing not to think too much
i read updates once a day & trust that Hugh will tell me anything he thinks it's important i know
i trust our prime minister & her staff to sort out the things they are responsible for
i'm learning new things - new embroidery things - in Spanish actually
fortunately there are subtitles some of which are hilarious, some unfathomable
i trust i will figure it out
i trust members of my whanau will let me know when, & if, they need me
i'm having a great time catching up with dad; in person with his groceries every 10 days & by phone every few days. we chat about life, lack of exercise & social contact & food - in particular the annoying lack of hogget & mutton available to buy - we're secretly hoping that suddenly it will be available again in the domestic market because the international market are not in a position to give a damn about importing sheep meat from NZ
i do not trust the staff at my closest countdown supermarket with my health & wellbeing
i have decided that i will no longer shop there, instead, i will go to our local four square (& pharmacy should i need to)
i don’t like to think about it too much but i actually don’t trust the medical staff in our region & especially at our local hospital; most are poorly qualified to triage & most won’t cope in an emergency
if, however, we end up needing them in an emergency i will have no choice but to trust that they will be able to figure it out
i trust that AirNZ will still exist after this & will remember they owe me credit for a couple of airfares
i trust that the greater majority of people will do exactly what is asked of them & stay at home
i hope that everyone has learnt to wash their hands properly
i hope that everyone has learnt how important it is to not be out & about if they are unwell
i hope that you all have a lovely Easter weekend
you know the drill
stay home
save lives
&
please be kind
tino nui te mihi aroha ki a koutou katoa
