It’s been 38 days since Alberta declared a state of emergency, the day after all schools in Alberta where closed for an unknown amount of time, they said expect schools not to reopen until the fall, although some other provinces have mentioned school opening, but have met with comments from parents saying no way will they send their kids in with so many new cases still being announced.

Today the provincial leaders met to talk about who they would have a unified process for opening up the country which makes total sense. The dates may be different, but when you have say a Keg in every province it makes sense to have a single process on how restaurants will operate when they get to open, how airlines will operate in each of the airports we have across the country.

The next few weeks and months will be the strangest of times.

I had another productive work day today. I did finish early so Derek and I could join quiz night with our family out in England via Zoom. We played trivia and talked for over 4 hours! It was a lot of fun connecting with other humans socially!

Did the Friday house clean today, well almost.

As mentioned, we joined our UK family for Friday night quiz night, well night for them and afternoon for us.

We spent about an hour or so playing the quiz and then we just visited for a few hours, it was such a normal time. Thoughts of the pandemic faded, we laughed, we joked and we made fun of hand jobs!!!

They have been doing it for a couple of weeks now, so we will be joining them, I guess that means we will have to host one night.
