Snow! Winter & Omnicron

Before and After Photos Show Lake Michigan 'Pancake Ice' Forming in 24  Hours in Chicago – NBC Chicago

You feel like you’re not making any progress like you’re moving on brittle ice.

Step by step. Week after week.

It’s cold. Not much sun. Winded, sneezing, breathing. Inside, briefly outside.

Working with Zoom. Texts, no spoken words. Emails and invoices via the internet.

Online-meetings! Customers on the other side of the closed door. Money in Ziplock bags.

Checks in the washer!

Handwashing! Mask Wearing! Bearing or Daring?

New rules, old worries.

Same symptoms but different.

One year later, all the same.

Love! Hate! Trust! Distrust!

Snow falling quietly.

This winter I will learn a lot.

About me!

    That’s strange, I know. Two years are gone and even after 3 doses we don’t feel safe. Wishing you speedy recovery.

    At least we are able to talk to neighbours while shoveling snow from the driveway.

      • I’m sure someone will let me know when they start to see the light. Until then I’ll be taking things easy!

    • As soon as I will be healthy again, the snow will melt. 🙂
