DIY Lockdown – day 3 of xx

looking for the light

Last summer or maybe the summer before, one of our new residents planted a tiny fig tree. Maybe it was from his yard. But, it is putting out fine leaves and the tiniest little figs. A reminder that hope abides.

Management still hasn’t put the residents in lockdown. They seem to think that it would be a good idea to wait until someone gets sick. Many of the fully-functioning residents have more or less done what I did. Decided that we were adults and that we are responsible for ourselves and to me, that means “go to your room and stay there. ”

Unfortunately, we have a lot of residents, in independent living, who really aren’t “independent”. They are independent because they live in a highly structured environment and because the staff and other residents look after them. These people, our most vulnerable elders, need management to step in and keep them as safe as possible.  Unfortunately, that will mean staying in their rooms. Which will be pretty damn bleak. So, I guess I see the management dilemma. But, that is why they make the big bucks.

 

Hope you can spare 40 seconds to watch the old bat’s video.

Gratitude

Grateful for this morning’s box-o-breakfast. Cold (but who cares) poached eggs, homefries (which we never have even in ordinary time), sausages.


the illusive buzzard

Got a shot of the buzzard this morning. Of course, I missed his closest approach to the window. But, it is definitely a buzzard not an eagle. Think it is a black buzzard. The only other option is turkey vulture.
