As of Sunday, Shauna has worked for 7 straight days and doing overtime too while helping out in areas that are, like this, well beyond her job description. She expects this to be her new normal for the time being.
I imagine the outfits are to connect with Hawaii and palm trees on Palm Sunday. They do what they can to spread cheer even if it isn't in keeping with the religious connotations.
This morning, I checked her location on the Find Friends app; apparently, she stayed there overnight. I don't know if this was a one-off or if it will be the new norm.
=======================
Speaking of Shauna and her residence (and residents). They were grateful to receive this from a local distiller that has reconfigured its production to meet COVID needs.
=========================
Another example of Good People Going Above and Beyond: a friend of Sha's who also is Sue's manicurist picked up a few items that WMart missed in our recent order.. We made arrangements for her to leave this single bag out on the porch for us to, in turn, pick up from her.
We now have eggs and cat food, and she will do a main shopping for us and others once per week. That along with online+pickup should keep us in good stead. We'll be fine.
While I do feel that I could move about safely to shop, Sha and her friend have gone to lengths to help us, so Sue says the least we can do is stay safe, so it is one less worry for our overburdened daughter.
======================
After picking up the groceries we drove to the river for just a few minutes, Since we don't stop for a coffee when we do this anymore, we don't stay long. It is not the same, and it also seems somewhat frivolous at this time when people are asked to stay home. In our case, we were out already for the pickup, so it didn't seem so wrong.
It was overcast but calm so there was a nice reflection in the pond between the parking lot and the river. The pond was considerably larger last spring. It will stay flooded for perhaps a few weeks before the area dries out until we do it all again next spring.
This was to be another reflection photo, but I ended up cropping away the reflection part on the lwoer half because I like the composition better this way.
=======================
Finally, we don't have a funny selfie to share today, but I'm sure we will be back on the ball tomorrow. So here's a Lacey as a lagniappe.

that's great that your daughter is doing fun costumes to keep the spirits of the residents up. Being confined to their rooms must be hard on them. I hope you daughter stays well, as well as all her staff and charges. Lacey is a special cat, having a hand kintted cushion to sleep upon.
Not only that, Barbara, but we moved the bureau there, especially for her so she could see out the window.
Where in the world did they get the hula skirts? I don't see them sold over here in Hawaii. Lol
You daughter is really an extraordinary woman! I hope she finds ways to get enough rest. I love that photo at the river. And seeing Lacey watching the world...Be well and stay safe!
I can't thank people enough who work 7 days a week and extra hours. some people ally care.Thanks, thank you.
I hope and pray your daughter stays safe, AC, as she goes above and beyond for the residents. It is not just a job for her obviously!
That reflection photo is super!
Your daughter and her co-workers obviously are going way beyond what required in their positions to keep the spirits of others lifted. All good wishes to them to remain safe. And it's nice that her friend is helping with the grocery deliveries too. There's so many good folks whose good deeds go unsung.
I too feel the need to say thank you to your daughter and friends who do so much to keep up the spirits of those who cannot leave their rooms. And I also really like that river picture, just as it is. I started at it for a good long while. :-)
Does that Lacey know what a lucky girl she is?
Those ladies are heroes!! :)
I relly like both of the photos. They are so stress free,which is what I need right now. Every week is a stress trying to find food that will last through the week. Our times here are getting higher numbers and the next two weeks will be the worst...maybe a bit of a reprieve later.
HI AC,
Love that shot of the tree/reflection. So pretty.
Shauna and her co-workers are true heroes and show great courage. I hope they will all remain healthy and sane through these terrible times!
You're so good to take in Lacey!
And your daughter is a good woman.
