You just don’t want them watching TV all day, the kids. So, when I saw that phrase, “No new deaths today,” again, another thing just went off in my brain. He was in a home, and of course these homes were ground zero for this stuff. Because his quality of life had really gone downhill. In a weird way, it was a blessing in disguise.
He had a ‘Do Not Resuscitate’ kind of thing going on, when that if he got sick, they weren’t going to put him on a ventilator, they weren’t going to try to save him. And as you know, first it’s a mental beatdown, then a physical beatdown. Eighty-five years old, he was suffering from Alzheimer’s for a long time. So, Father’s Day rolls around, and I kind of was reflecting on a lot of stuff throughout the day, and then I read the news, and it said, “No new deaths.” My father tested positive for Covid, and he passed within five days. And so, I haven’t really had any sort of chance to unpack any of it. It was interesting how little things could be a triggering phrase for me. On a personal note, was the first day that they were able to record no new deaths in Quebec, for the first time since March. If I’m working on a big project that has a deadline, then we have to renegotiate our plan.
Which basically, I work sort of half-days, and then if I can squeeze in a few hours after dinner, to continue something that I’m working on, then I’ll do that. So, I do the mornings Natalia does the afternoons. I’m usually on duty in the mornings, until around noon, one o’clock. The kids are home all the time, so it’s always ‘all hands on deck’ kind of thing. Mostly just Natalia & I never really have any time for anything.
