Morning
@nita
I have my fingers crossed that Pooch is fine and I’m just fussing, but he’s not in pain and nothing bothers him. It’s quite safe walking him at night, it’s a bit like a gated community, with just a dozen of us here. I might find living in a normal house on a road rather strange when I do that one day
We are supposed to finish at ten, but often run over. I’ve found the last two or three calls of a night tend to be chatterboxes... which is fine, but it can mean it’s hard to get out the door and keep relatively on time. Still, I’d far rather work till ten(ish) than attempt getting up for an early shift.
Yes, if there is an emergency we do stay, someone needs to let the paramedics in and go through what has happened. I’ve had a few late ones, but not too many
I guess we will get tested one day, but the priority is the nhs staff and families, that wouId be iro 2.5 million!! Add in all the tests needed for those who are showing symptoms .. the number of tests that need to be done is massive, just to clear all of those.
I have a friend that’s had it, said it was awful, but is now on the mend, some clients have friends who have not made it through, but so far no one I’ve had contact with has any worries. Full PPE, lots of hand washing, minimum of four laundry trips a week ... I’m doing everything I can think of to keep the risks to a minimum. My lovely man has other issues, not related to this, he’s just very unwell. I do miss him and his jokes
I’m glad to be working, it kept me sane through the farce of selling mums house and then living in a tin can. I think I’d have been dribbling in a corner without the structure and interaction. Obviously not being able to house hunt, or visit the children and grandchildren has given me too much time to sit around, so working is helping me as much as it’s (hopefully) helping the clients
I don’t know what the “facts” are about animals and C19, but I work on the theory that I don’t want to touch
anything that I don’t know who else has touched it ... animals, door handles (do less harm .. use your arm), petrol pumps etc. My poor hands live in gloves, but it’s better than the alternative
