Corona Lockdown Gratitude 🙏

#grateful for feeling much better than I did during the night and early this morning, having a severe attack of nausea and a tummy bug, which appears to be doing the rounds, I NEVER getting ill; for being able to sleep all morning and doing some work this afternoon; for fasting all day; for staying home all day, and not getting out to walk; for the most beautiful peace and quiet in our building, with minimal Lift usage ❤️ for a glorious hot 28 C Day ; and for not being too happy nor feeling too healthy. 😱

 

The Good Things Guy included my Blogpost of Wednesday about more restaurants opening than closing since Lockdown started in his Friday newsletter today:

More Restaurant Openings Than Closures For First Time Since Lockdown in SA!

Henry our Ebbtide Building Manager had to finish his handover to me, taking three weeks leave. I will miss him dearly. We did Do Lists and got everything done. #thankyou

The Corona Virus Lockdown (Level 5), announced by our President Cyril Ramaphosa earlier to commence on 27 March 2020 and to continue until 16 April, subsequently extended to 30 April, lowered to Level 4 from 1 May, lowered to Level 3 from 1 June, lowered to Level 2 from 18 August, lowered to Level 1 from 21 September, and moved back to Adjusted Level 3 from 29 December,  extended to 15 February on 11 January 2021, extended but relaxed on 1 February, and relaxed back to Level 1 on 1 March 2021, moved back to Adjusted Level 2 on 31 May, moved back to level 3 on 16 June, and moved back to Adjusted Level 4 on 28 June, extended by two weeks on 11 July,  returned to Level 3 on 26 July, returned to Level 2 on 13 September, returned to Level 1 on 1 October,  and the Curfew Curfew lifted on 30 December 2021 is an unprecedented event in my lifetime. I am posting my daily Facebook post to journal this Corona Lockdown Journey, perhaps to serve as material for a future Book.
