Okay, you said that you would not take the vaccine. Have you changed your mind since you wrote this article? I am in fact thankful that the vaccine is there so the spread of this virus will seize...sooner than later.

You have a terrific sense of humor, Iza. L was looking art your note on the bottom of this post. I admire that you that you can do as well as you do with English being a third language. May I ask, what are the other two? Just curious.
This piece is both funny and informative, but who in the world is encouraging you to stay INSIDE. Everybody knows the best place to be if talking to someone or at an eatery, ie is OUTSIDE. Check it out. Bless you. Bob

Another great little chapter in the Coronavirus saga. I love all these little slices that let us look with focus at all the ways the epidemic has altered our lives. And this is another way: now we are ordering everything to go from Uber instead of eating in restaurants. We watch the Ubers come and go from the front entrance; wondering what everyone else is having for dinner in thier little apartment. estory

It seems to me that you have unfortunately fallen behind in the timing of your story. This whole situation is becoming ridiculous. There are no obvious solutions, even though we have all been sent back to work, here. This has just pushed spikes of infection rising again, with varied consequences.

I like your attitude, Iza. You told dear old hateful Coronella. I enjoyed reading your chapter. I like the many examples you give of how things have changed.
Thanks for sharing. Stay safe.
Respectfully, Jan

Day 56
Lately we are leaving [ livng ] a manage a trois kind of life. Well folks, this is not what you are thinking, it is not that kind of affair. Coronella had made us rethink our strategies in regards with life and death matter [ matters ]. We can't enjoy a meal outside, so we are just having everything "inside": food, clothes, medicine, sports, movies, you name it.
She dedicates [ dictates ] the terms(,) and we silently execute. "Don't go out!" "Okay, mam [ m'am ], I will go in. Log on my computer find the app... and Skip the Dishes. It's too hot to cook anyway. So I better place the order of my favorite food, call the Uber and enjoy it. Cooking is for les paysan, the new "norm" is to order in. We have now such a high-life style. I do this ordering game, twice a month! I can't afford more, so I guess vive les paysan. I live in an apartment with over 500 flats.
I am lucky, not, that my balcony looks over the interior yard where the main entrance is placed. I can see(,) at least ten times a day(,) a car doing food delivery with the Skip the Dishes logo. UPS, Fedex, Canada Post and other cars doing Amazon deliveries. So you can see our manage a trois excuse of life: I am ordering, the website takes my money and voila somebody is delivering my order.
God forbidden [ forbid, ], I am not complaining. As long as I have a job, my family, and faith, Coronella can kiss mon derrie, I am good and content. As long as I can walk outside, I will wear that damn mask, but I will not take that vaccine no matter what.
