4) What Am I Missing?
I had a nap yesterday and didn’t pay attention to the news for like 12 minutes. I think I missed someting important.
- Rumour is that we will be going back to school 100% back to normal.
- As of July 24, Gyms in the GTA can’t open – but phys ed classes are expected to resume in 5 weeks?
- On July 24, people in the GTA can’t eat in restaurants, but cafeterias are expected to run in 5 weeks?
- There’s no extra money for safe re-opening of schools, but $12 billion in capital grants?
- And Directors of Education no longer need to be teachers? And this fight racism?
- And this if part of the COVID-19 Economic Recovery Act?
Maybe I dreamed this…
5) COVID Expense Analysis
fitness expense = decrease
clothing expense = decrease
nice pen expense = decrease
book expense = increase
food expense = increase
wine expense = increase
Most notably, my personal hygiene expenses are down.
However, I was just reminded that the need for personal hygiene has not decreased.
Oh. Good point. I’m going to hop in the shower now.
