It's day 9 - Slow down


It is day nine in isolation and today I stepped outside to grab some essentials. I admit that I went with a friend who is also self -isolating for the same reasons as I and we used our own carts and avoided public transit and stood 6 feet apart and did all that we were supposed to. However, allow me to tell you further about my experiences in the outside vs what once was only two to three weeks ago.

Day 7 self isolation


Hello everyone!
Today is day 7 in self isolation. I honestly feel that the most struggling thing I have had to deal with is the uncertainty of where the money is going to come from. Even though I’ve applied for EI, the page that I keep going to gives an error now and so I can’t see my status. I also know that the government, from what I understand are reviewing and switching most new applicants or pending, to a new Canadian Emergency Relief Benefit (CERB) and that we will be getting $2000 each month for four months. But when is that going to arrive? I know that the ideal is in the beginning of April and at the latest is April 20th supposedly but I am still anxious as I have rent and bills to pay and that’s on the forefront of my mind. Once I have that I will be settled and be ok.

Co Author During COVID-19 - Inform, Guidance and Opinions

Hello Everyone! 

Firstly, I want to introduce myself, my name is Shanon, I live in London, Ontario and work closely with the blogs owner. I have been asked to become a co-author on this owner's blog during these unprecedented times of the COVID-19 pandemic to share some insight, opinions, guidance, and inform. I am happy to do so! 

I, myself am at a High Risk, due to my compromised immune system,  respiratory conditions,  asthma and other health factors, due to this, along with the current viral chest cold I am fighting off, my Doctor has requested me, not just advised, requested I stay home, self isolate and monitor my symptoms. 


Self Isolation Day 2


Hello folks!
I know that it’s been over a year that I haven’t posted and a lot has happened and there a lot of long and tired working days for me that I just mentally couldn’t write. However during these very trying times with the Corona Virus aka COVID-19 around the world I’m here to write again and say you’re not alone.
