Working while isolated

I got to work today… whew I am really tired! I just walked in the door, put my stuff down and sat down… I shouldn’t have sat down lol … I still have to get back up, even though my body is melting into the chair!! I want to shower – I need another shower

I spent most of my day completely disinfecting every single surface – now I need a shower to disinfect myself lol … I don’t wanna get in bed without a shower!!

This morning when I got in – I did my usual… sort of … I am the only person there and only one person allowed in building at a time – that would be “me” lol … so today I did not turn on the heavenly music… why? No one else would be there to hear that – and I don’t wanna listen to it for 9 hours lol

I planned ahead and brought myself a Bluetooth speaker 🔈… I knew I would be disinfecting most of the day… and knew it would just be me… I wanted MY music – today I breathed a little life into the funeral home ❤️

So anyway… I got in, turned on all the lights, put out the mat and the wreaths … opened the blinds to my window to the world…

I was going around the office, doing my morning opening procedures. Every so often that window catches my attention – not really for any reason… just the outside world… I love looking out that window.

Most of the time I love looking out that window … but this morning when the window caught my attention… that crow was back … and he brought a friend… so now there were 2 crows 😳 … you have no idea how much crows freak me out

So thats number 2 … 2 of them… I know it’s just a superstition… but whatever I don’t like it… one more and it be bad. With this stupid virus I definitely DO NOT want to see 3 of them… Oh my god! 😮 … again I know is a superstition but I still don’t like it. It will make me really nervous!!

So I stopped looking out the window … I did scan to see if there was a 3rd but there luckily was not… but I don’t like 2 either – go somewhere else!!

But I didn’t want to take a chance of seeing a 3rd either… so I forwarded the phones to my cell phone, so it would interrupt my music and I could take the call no matter where I was, if someone called… I connected my phone to the speaker, put on a playlist I made last night of songs I know all the lyrics to… or songs I have my own lyrics for lol…

And I played music most of the day while I sang along ❤️ was awesome ❤️ … sing like no ones listening because they weren’t lol ✌️ I zoned out with the songs and disinfected everything room by room

I did get 2 calls… one about some ashes … and another from a local hotel in the big city…

Many hotels are also closed down too … this hotel was calling to ask if anyone asks or needs a hotel please refer them, and they will do same for us (lol, although I can’t imagine anyone asking a hotel concierges- excuse me, do you have any recommendations on funeral homes? Lol) but whatever … I took their info and their number down and left messages for our employees Incase we had anyone who asked for hotels. (But I doubt that right now too)

Some funeral homes actually did close – we aren’t and won’t be closing – we are staying open to serve the public … someone has to… you can’t just leave dead bodies because everybody is closed!! So we are taking them.

When this goes back to normal it’s going to be crazy… we will have to do all the postponed funerals and memories – plus the ones that will come in then!!

We are not offering any funerals, memorials or services … we will do cremations and embalming… which is done off site… and hold in morgue until are able to to have normal operations – we are offering burials but only in the morning hours and it just be very small, immediate family only and must be fast and quick if someone just wants to have that done. Some religions require special things like that. But those are the choices at the moment.

When this is over … it’s just going to be insane!!

We had signs all over the outside windows and doors …

So anyway… I continued cleaning and disinfecting every surface I could think people touch… I wore gloves and an apron … remembered not to touch my face lol … washed my hands constantly. I swear my skin is going to come off!! But whatever – doing it! I don’t want this thing.

I took a break for lunch, and had a soup I brought. That was yummy. I looked outside again and it was sunny and nice – the crows were gone by the afternoon so I liked that.

The streets still had some cars… we have to be careful but sometimes you need things or some of us still work. For the most part – there is not many out.

I drive home on the highway… I have to take 3 highways to get home… usually is annoying with stupid traffic – normally I debate whether to take the highways, which do have me get home quicker and is more of a straight shot… OR take the country roads which takes me longer but always less traffic and so relaxing❤️ that’s normally though (not when on lock down)

Now I just take the highways cause there is hardly anyone and I can just zip home. I really love no traffic!! I get home so quick – what normally takes me an hour or so,.. now just takes me 30 minutes or less if I have a lead foot. 😉✌️

I hadn’t worked since last weekend … and I worked myself hard today. Tmrw I have a little more to do… but not too much and then I can just chill – woo hoo!!! ❤️

And I’ll do my music again ❤️

It’s not so bad. And I don’t have to see anyone – well mostly…

The Maintenence guy came to do the lawns … he knocked on the door cause he needed key for trash (we keep our gigantic trash containers locked because of the homeless – they cause issues with those, so we lock them)

I only cracked the door like some weirdo lol … yes? … and he asked for me to unlock the trash so I said I’d go around and do that.

I quickly grabbed the key and unlocked the trash, he said he would lock it back up for me – and I wanted to get back inside lol … there ya go, nice to see you bye lol

Oh yeah and I had to open the door for the mail man too 😳… I had mail to give him, and he had mail for me 😮… dammit I didn’t have my gloves on!!!

I took the mail, placed it in the incoming bin thing… went and washed my hands and then used more hand sanitizer

Luckily there is no mail on Sunday… and maintenance guy did his job today. So I shouldn’t see anyone tmrw!

Not that I don’t miss people and being normal … but whatever – happy to be safe so far – so I’m fine with it.

Alright well I have to go take a shower and wash the day off… I haven’t read ANY posts yet today!! I am probably way behind!!

Ok gonna sanitize myself ✌️

Have a good night and please stay safe!! Seriously – do that!! Please
