Another week of lockdown but I have been conscious about staying focused on my perspective and making the most of the situation this week. I think we can all relate to the feeling of life throwing us curveballs at times… making us feel completely out of sorts…. seemingly not in control of our situation and […]
Well… here we are again… the units that had tested positive were re-tested last week and the results were sent into a lab for processing… they came back a few day later and every unit that had tested positive previously once again had at least one guy test positive again. So… we continue down the
Well… yet another week of lockdown and another week of limited to obsolete computer access. There was absolutely no computer access this past weekend so obviously was not be able to write a full blog.
