Monday and Tuesday were some days which are like always… just boring. Well, I mean weh ad work to do, but not that interesting. Monday went together with Shain to the Dump (Recycling), Cobourg to pick up the groceries. Normally Shain doesn´t speak so much, but at that time he really enjoyed talking to me. He told me something about how he and Debbie met each other. Furthermore when and what he did in his young ages on Vancouver Island. Anway weh ad a nice Chat, went to Timmies and the we headed to Cobourg. Like I said…picking up the Groceries. U remember when I told u last time in my Blog, that the government will pronounce something about Lockdown Yes…Lockdown No?? Well, whole Onatrio is going into a Lockdown from the 26th on. This means the grocery store was compeltely overwhealmed…. Usually we are ordering the groceries online on Sunday, picking them up on Monday (this takes about 5 minutes). This time we waited f*cking 1 ½ hours. Absolutley unbelievable. We sit in the car. Shain was playing Solitaire, I felt asleep, woke up, went for a short walk to „Popeyes“ (something like KFC), bought some chicken strips for Shain and me and then we ate them together in the car until the groceries would come out. FInally a woman brought them to us and we drove home. Cool evening with Shain except the facto f Groceries Pick-Up….
WHAT MEANS THE LOCKDOWN FOR ME? – I hate to say and currently I am really disappointed and sad and don´t really know what to do. I wanted to start travelling on first of january. First Ottawa, then Montreal, via Toronto to the Niagara Falls… Well, I can throw this whole plan now away. Everything will be closed. Same like in Germany. That means I´ll stay for a longer time on the farm. I really don´t know how long exactly. But at least the following weeks. I´ll have to sit down and start making new plans. I´ll start with this hopefully this week. Another bad thing is, that we´ll close the farm on the 26th because of Lockdown. This means no SHmurggles, no Knuffles, no Café, no Walk-Ins, no experiences… I really thing it is going tob e boring…. Currently I am really in a sad and upset mood. But „das Glas ist halbvoll“ – I´ll sit down and will make new plans!!! So that I´ll get happy again and the sadness will beblown away. Not that easy, especially because of the following days.
Thursday: MERRY CHRISTMAS erveryone!!! I hope u had a wonderful day with ur Family. My schedule: Working from 9 to 12, drawing the winner of our Haute Goat Contest ( I was the Goat ferry), talking to my parents, having mulled wine and snacks together with the Haute Goat Family in the Barn and in the evening a nice Dinner made by Debbie (Salmon, Spinach, potatoes). This day was more sad than happy for me. First time spending christmas alone, first time ever without family or friends. It really would have been amazing to be together with my parents. Anyway I think I made the best out oft hat day. As I said I worked until 12, then I was allowed to play the Goat Ferry. I drew the Winner of our Haute Goat December Contest. I will attach a picture of my Outfit. Lovely! Then I had a cool phone call with my parents, which also has been sad, like I said before. Afterward weh ad a lovely time with the Haute Goat Family in the Barn. I couldn´t really appreciate it, because of my sadness (for what f*cking reason it remained until here). But then weh ad a nice evening. Kerstin and Kathy played together with me some games while Debbie was preapring the Dinner. She made a real effort. She really wanted to conjure up a great Christmas for us. Although she is Jewish and doesn’t celebrate Christmas, she made a great Christmas dinner with a great table decoration for us. Shortly after dinner came my cue. I had gotten the gifts for each of us from Laurel ( a 70 year old lady who works here) and she told me to hand them out to everyone at dinner. No sooner said than done. I put on my Goat Ferry costume with the tutu and played Santa. This looked something like this….
That was the laugh of the night. Everyone had fun and it was awesome. Afterwards Debbie had also handed out her presents to us. Alpaca socks and hand cream for each of us. Laurel gave us socks, hats and Canadian candy. I was not expecting this, really not at all. But it made my day so much sweeter and all the worries were gone. I hope they didn’t come back.
Friday: worries still there… because so far still no idea or plan for the future. The farm closes…. more boredom… and I am stucked here. I’ll try to sit down and change something about it. I will. Despite all the moaning, I’ll say it again…. I am happy to be here and I am very happy to get this chance during the current time. So “the glass is half full”…. Friday was one of those days that I have to mentally prepare myself for the coming weeks. Boredom, little to do….Let’s see how the weekend will be. See you very soon…
Saturday and Sunday: Normally the busiest days of the week. Not that time. Worked until 4, some cool stuff to do. I built a Shelf for Debbie. That was fun. We went on a walk, which was pretty, just because we had a bit snow and the Beaver Pond was completely frozen. Sunday afternoon, so now, while I´m writing, I am planing on my future in Canada. I really don´t have any idea where to go, ehat to do… Hopefully this will change. If u guys have any idea, recommendation or something else….pls let me k😊
Tomorrow I´ll be 3 months here. Unbelievable!!! Stay Safe at home😊 Take care and have a good one…. U betcha😉
