I worked 2 sleepovers in a row. It was a public holiday here, but on the way home, I found some stores open.  I wanted to buy some things to help stay safe from this outbreak of Japanese Mosquito Virus and Encephalitis.  I found some fun things – sandalwood and citronella mosquito coils and some sandalwood and lavender incense.

I wasn’t home long when I got a call to say that somebody at work has tested positive to COVID.  The first c all was to ask if I was prepared to go to the isolation unit to care for this man. I said yes but they can’t get enough staff prepared to work there so for now at least they are keeping him where he is.  A staff member has decided to take immedi are leave as her young child has just recovered from measles.

I’ve picked up another 12 hour shift, but got another 4 phone calls from them asking if I can work more.

I found myself feeling a lot of anger and resentment at the person who brought the most recent bout of COVID to our workplace.  Not really worth going into, but basically se e nd that she went to A CIVID hotspot interstate. She has messed up things for a lot of people, and put our safety at risk.

My friend was angry that I picked up some work, but I will manage with just the one 12 hour shift.

Tomorrow I’m going to do more gardening and tidying up of the Palace. The weather was perfect today.
