For our family, the only changes (apart from the no travel anywhere restriction) seems to be good for the adults and pets in this house.
The girls seem to have mixed feelings and Lily spends way too much time in her room but at least shes talking to her friends even at a distance. Chloe is missing people although its nice to see so much of her. They are both having a harder time of it than I would like though.
Paul works a reduced shift and therefore has done a lot of things around the house including starting the closet in the master bedroom that's only waited about 7 years now.
I am continuing to work from home and spring has morphed into summer and I am still enjoying my breakfasts listening to Fishmonster live update (from Key West)and now I can work with the doors open and listen to the summer sounds of the pool pump and the breeze in the trees.
For the first time in my life I am making bread and have a garden growing, my sugar snap peas are a success and I can enjoy picking them daily to eat. Its wonderful.
Ducky and my progress together has been slow as we not been able to have lessons until very recently but from a relationship perspective its been perfect. We are well on the road to a great relationship and the bond is strong already. Now we are back to lessons I realize how unfit I have become and how hard we have to work to achieve our goals of us becoming a hunter success. Thankfully the shows are cancelled so the pressure is off.
I get to walk the dogs first thing in the warmth of a Nova Scotia summer morning and we return hot and sticky in time for a shower before I start my working day. In the aftermoons I get to eat my dinner by the pool and swim often, I have never swum this much in our pool in June before. Its been 85F for days now.
The negative sides are a concern that we wont be going anywhere for a very long time and when the border finally opens, the Florida we love will have changed greatly. Universal Studios has reopened but masks are compulsory and that doesn't sound like much fun in summer heat to me. Personally I cannot imagine such a visit.
