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! \u00a0Canada 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&#8217;t, you have to pay $1 million or spend 3 years in Jail! Yikes, Yikes, and Yikes again!<\/p>\n<p>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&#8217;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&#8217;s following me around like she just won the Lotto! Bless her little heart!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Day 1 &#8211; Thursday, 27th March:<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>I woke up to Coco my bed mate\u00a0licking me all over, jumping up and down the bed with joy! Thrilled to have her Mommy home! Coffee, hugs, licks, a fabulous night&#8217;s sleep \u2014 not bad for my first day in Quarantine!<\/p>\n<p>Today was a busy First Day in Q. I had my\u00a0suitcase 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&#8217;s bread I brought from Ireland. What a treat! Two loaves to enjoy over the next few days!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969.jpeg\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-2154\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-2154\" src=\"http:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969.jpeg\" alt=\"2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969\" width=\"813\" height=\"1599\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969.jpeg 813w, https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969-153x300.jpeg 153w, https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969-768x1510.jpeg 768w, https:\/\/www.boomerbabelife.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/03\/2BCEC635-C6EF-4229-B35F-A2F77BDC4969-521x1024.jpeg 521w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 813px) 100vw, 813px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>TO-DO CHEER LIST FOR DAY 1:\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>Give thanks to God the minute you wake up!<br \/>\n<\/strong>I love my Centering Prayer.<strong>\u00a0<\/strong>I&#8217;ll share some favourite prayers and affirmations with you over the next few days.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Set up table nicely!<\/strong> I encourage you all to do that!
