We signed up for a six week puppy training class that the entire family can attend. They call it a “puppy” training class but its very clear that the purpose is to train the humans in how to work with their dog, teach it good manners and tricks and so on. 😉
Believe it or not, there have been a few good things to come out of Covid.
Here’s a few…
* greater acceptance of work-from-home in many sectors
* I’d say that it’s caused many people to reassess their work-life balance
* many people are also saving money by going out less for restaurants, entertainment, shopping.
* general acceptance of masking/hand sanitizer may result in less illness overall (though it doesn’t feel like it these days)
* increased limit for tap on debit and credit cards is convenient (especially given the rising price of groceries!)
* so many events that you had to attend in person are now online – from workshops to courses to funerals. Shea works with pregnant women and previously, they would have to make an effort to get to the hospital, possibly find care for other kids at home, pay for parking, etc. to take her classes. Now they are all offered online. Or if your Uncle in Hawaii passes away, there’s a good chance you’ll be able to watch the funeral without having to be there in person as would have likely been the case only a few short years ago.
This is a parody of cruise ship chair saving but could equally apply to the poolside chairs in most tropical resorts…

Got a surprise call at work from Great Canadian Brewhouse East who have a weekly promotion where they deliver pizza to a random nearby business or organization for Free Friday Lunch.
Delicious and a great way to end the week! (I wonder how many businesses they deliver to end up even sharing with a couple unhoused customers like we did?) 😉
Pace has been working concessions at Regina Pats games to fundraise for a school trip to Costa Rica later this spring. It’s given me a good excuse to get to a few games (including taking Sasha and my folks on New Year’s Day) and Pace has benefited in many ways too.
I didn’t go to the game on Friday night but was happy to see that he also got some free food too when I picked him up afterwards.
(By arena standards, I believe the bag of free popcorn he was given at the end of his shift is worth about eight hundred dollars!) 😉

Our last Mexican vacation was in late Feb/early March of 2020 just as Covid was breaking worldwide. I spent much of our week taking pictures of Corona beer cans thinking I was clever…
