Stay at Home Chapter 3 - Day 42 + 8

 Saturday May 28

Lovely sunny day - a bit warmer today but I still needed a hoodie and a windbreaker for the walk to Tim's this am.  

I sent ScienceGirl in this time for a change while I stood holding the Mad Wee Dog beside the drive-through driveway.  It was very stressful.  But Hen, you say, you were just standing there holding the dog.  How could that be stressful?  I got very anxious watching the cars in the drive-through - some didn't pull up far enough and left about half a car's  length between their front bumper and the next car's  rear bumper.  This normally wouldn't be an issue except that the drive-through was packed and people were lined up to the road and along the road back to the corner which is about 3 car lengths. The part of the drive-through from the road until the point of no return, when you are fully in the drive-through isn't very long - maybe 4 car lengths.  So if you don't pull up far enough, people get stuck out in the road.  And cars coming up that street have to go out into oncoming traffic to go around these cars. Now if people on the road waiting to go into the drive-through had any sense, they would go to the next driveway, pull in and park in the little parking area meant for the gas station store and Tim's.  And if those spots were full, there's always the parking lot for the plaza next door.  All this was going through my head as I was standing waiting for SG.  I had to turn around and look in the other direction so I couldn't witness this lack of consideration.  In doing so, I noticed a new metal bike rack next to the bus stop hut where I can chain up my bike when I ride it for my coffee.  Usually, I have to lock it to a rickety wooden fence.

So the 45,00 AstraZeneca shots due to expire on May 31 are now good until July 1.  Just like that. I'm good til after July 1st. thanks all the same.

Until tomorrow.  Stay sane.
