QUARANTINE: DAY 1

There is something really grave about the word ‘Quarantine‘. Just the sound of it gives me the shivers! I feel dirty, like I have mad cow disease or scarlet fever. Maybe after the 14 days I will have turned into a mad cow lol!  Canada has enforced a new ruling which stipulates that those who have been outside the Country (which I have), must do a Mandatory 14 day Quarantine. If you don’t, you have to pay $1 million or spend 3 years in Jail! Yikes, Yikes, and Yikes again!

On a lighter note, what luxury! No office, no traffic, no noise, no make -up for 14 days! No outside disturbance. Wow! My skin wont know what hit it! I’m salivating with pleasure at the thought of all those jobs I kept putting off. No excuse now! I have a very ambitious to-do list written for my 14 days in Quarantine. As for Coco, my beloved rescue dog, she’s following me around like she just won the Lotto! Bless her little heart!

Day 1 – Thursday, 27th March:

I woke up to Coco my bed mate licking me all over, jumping up and down the bed with joy! Thrilled to have her Mommy home! Coffee, hugs, licks, a fabulous night’s sleep — not bad for my first day in Quarantine!

Today was a busy First Day in Q. I had my suitcase to unpack, laundry to be done, house to be tidied, Coco to be petted on the hour, kitchen floor to be washed. Breakfast was especially delicious today because I had the yummy McCambridge’s bread I brought from Ireland. What a treat! Two loaves to enjoy over the next few days!

TO-DO CHEER LIST FOR DAY 1: 

Give thanks to God the minute you wake up!
I love my Centering Prayer. I’ll share some favourite prayers and affirmations with you over the next few days.

Set up table nicely! I encourage you all to do that! Eating should be bliss and a real treat. We feast with our eyes too!

Tune into Radio Caroline or some station that only plays happy music!

Refrain from anything that stresses you! Sorry, but I don’t listen to the news! My choice for sanity!

Tackle one clutter area, even if it’s only a kitchen drawer!

Pet your pet! If you don’t have one, Pet Yourself!!

Bye for now! Tune in tomorrow!

Hugs,
Patricia xx
