Start the week April 27, 2009

So I was up at 620am with barely a couple hours of sleep got washed, dried off, powdered, and dressed after a quick breakfast (standard toast, crumpet chocolate milk & o.j.) only to find my schedule had shifted a few hours. So wide awake what do I do? I caught up on the papers, fetched fresh weekly's, and a couple of church bulletins for mum before she had to go to the gyno. Anyways after she made her journey and another for new shoes (Walking On A Cloud at Cloverdale Mall) I got her home just in time to get my brother Mark to work. Well I was there at least. Mark tends to dilly dally to say the least and was about 10 to 15 minutes late for work. Oddly it's his first full day in the garden centre and i told hime to take his jacket for the winds and possible storms for this evening. Three times. The first time he went for his long trenchcoat, the second time he went for his normal Spring jacket which was suitable in one way but not today, the third time he got the idea and picked up his new garden centre jacket with the word STAFF on the back. Oddly he is worried the family could get the Mexican swine flu because of all the people who went to Spring break in Cancun and such last month when he stayed home in Canada. He's worried for the people that Pop cut keys for that lost them in Acupulco or Costa Rica and such infecting Pop. So while it would normally take someone sneezing in your face or rubbing up and down on you for a few hours with their sweaty body to start the chance of infection inspite of annual flu shots there is an anxiety in the air about the illness. A rationally unfounded anxiety but it's still there. I even spotted people getting off the airport bus this morning wearing surgical masks. What a way to start the week.
