How much will your life actually change during the latest lockdown?

[Badenoch]

Received notice today that outdoor ranges at the gun club will be open. Access will be limited to the club house but I wasn't going in their much anyway. Perfect.

With this news my life won't change much at all. We weren't eating in restaurants, only shopping for essentials and not having people over in any event. I worked from home well before the pandemic started and my clients are still paying.

So the plan is toss another log on the fire, make sure food and adult beverage supply remains sufficient and settle in for a quiet and peaceful winter.

Being retired, I am doing the same. We have been placing online orders for our groceries from 2 local stores since March and will continue to do so. If I do go to LCBO etc, I buy enough to last for a month. These days you can do much of your shopping online and still support local businesses.

Being older, with health issues of varying degrees. We’ve been reducing how much we expose ourselves to risk. Same for the brothers/sisters/parents and even both my children have “co-morbidities) in the family. Hermits again I guess.

Work:
We are outside PTBO. So we’re caught in the 28 day .
My ( our) job is to help people get financing. Mainly vehicles. We will be open, but we expect a hard month. Need customers....

So all in all.
It’s going to impact the fiancé and a fair bit.

Not a big change for me day-to-day. I'm not travelling now (usually spend about 12 weeks/year outside the country) - that's a big plus.
Everyone in my immediate family is working from home and getting paid - we are very lucky with that.
No health issues in the immediate family so the doctors and clinics all being shut down or reduced operation is an annoyance but not a big problem.
I don't miss shopping, theatres and restaurants being closed...My wife does though. She tells me she thinks I actually enjoy the lockdown.
I think I've used the line "Are we doing anything this weekend? No? I guess I'll go up to the bushlot" too many times.

The downside is that we don't have extended family get togethers - my siblings, their kids and grand kids. We usually do that a few times during the summer and at Christmas.
... and my inlaws are in a retirement home in Kemptville. They've managed to keep covid out of it (so far). But visiting them has been made more difficult and the fear of covid for them is very real.

Pretty much the same for me. I was always been home office based but I have not been on a plane since Feb of 2020 - that feels odd to me. I do miss my face to face team meetings, customer meetings and interacting with my sales agents across Canada (aka golfing) but we will get to that soon enough. My wife has been working from home since March and is not traveling as well which she is fine with. It is great to have my kids back from University on an extended Christmas visit. But really not much has changed for us in this second lockdown - no dining out, but we do order takeout from a local restaurant once a week.

Bow season was a well deserved break from lockdown, but now that is winding down. I picked up a couple of books on my list I am going to read, and I have a couple of models (Yamaha YZR500 and a De Havilland Otter) I will be building to pass the time in lockdown. I have a couple of side jobs that are winding down so maybe I will have some time to do some plinking and some wood cutting on the farm to get out of the house.

All we can do is make the best out of a bad situation.

Other then my eldest son is stuck in Toronto so he can't come home for Xmas nothing has changed for me since this has started. Still working from home, I go hunting if I want to.

Actually kinda of enjoying this. I'm thinking in the future all my contracts I will be working from home.

This whole affair has had minimal impact, like others, being retired and living on a farm with acreage there is always things to do so 'being trapped at home' was pretty much a lifestyle long before they told me I had to.

I actually like the 7:00 am 'Seniors Shopping ' the grocery store adopted here. I'm up early and can get it, thru and back in about an hour and nary see anyone else.

My buddy and I got out for breakfast once or twice a week. We were able to turn his two bay garage into a 'Bistro' last spring and meet there for a chat. I guess we'll start that up again, thankfully it's heated so we won't have to wear mitts and try and hold the mug.

It is not the most intellectual of the species that survives; it is not the strongest that survives; but the species that survives is the one that is able to adapt to and to adjust best to the changing environment in which it finds itself……so says Charles Darwin in his “Origin of Species.”

No change at all, except having to line up in January for shopping again...if I need to go out. That should only be for milk and 10% coffee cream. Hitting Costco today to get some consumables and eggs
