We are head into another weekend, and getting ready for another week of isolation in Canada, with schools and many other things shutdown. Rick Mercer’s most recent rant is a reminder that looking for loopholes to recommendations to maintain physical distancing will not help anybody. The best thing we can all do, for our collective good, is to stay at home as much as possible.
As a reminder, physical distancing does not mean social distancing. We are not only allowed to still maintain relationships while we are distancing, it is encouraged! Set up remote coffee break chats with people, use texting apps such as WhatsApp or others to set up group chats with various people (if you haven’t already) to keep in touch, and do anything else that comes to mind that maintains, and even builds, relationships. 🙂
Plus, as a bonus, if you stocked up on things like rice, flour, oats and dried beans before things shut down (we always have lots in our cold room), you have an opportunity to experiment and find some new favourite veggie recipes, or pull out an old favourite. (Of course, don’t let that add more stress to an already stressful day. Only add it in if it feels right. :))
Happy weekend everyone! 🙂
