Wednesday 23 March 2022, Day 174 of Level 1 😷

Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for a cool start to the day, with rain and a thunderstorm at 5h00 this morning; for preparing for client status meetings; for Minsky coming back home after her longest overnight gallivanting, being away from home for more than 24 hours, so worried about her 😻; for good meetings with newkings boutique hotel and Zest Restaurant Cape Town, with exciting projects lying ahead; for a shop at Woolies and Spar in Piazza da Luz; for the kind optometrist in the Point Mall adjusting my specs so that they do not slide down my nose, at no charge 💙; for interesting clouds in Sea Point and Camps Bay to photograph, seeing the tail end of a Bonaqua commercial being shot on the Camps Bay Beach, and getting in a walk on an extremely windy beachfront; and for being happy, healthy and free. 🙏💙

It was a rude awakening to not earn any Discovery Gameboard plays today, reflecting last week: zero for my steps, as I’ve reached my limit of points for 5000 – 7499 steps; and zero for Discovery Insure, scoring zero on my drive back from Plett, due to ’braking incidents’, the only reason why my points are deducted. 😱

SA Corona Status:  3,705,696 cases 99893 deaths  33,105,213 vaccinations 

FitBit 7500 steps 5,5 km

I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
