Scary times are here! Vaccination time

No one really knows when it will be vaccination time for us, and that means me along with the rest of Canada.  So I wait, hope, but most of all I pray!

My main concern is that, as a vision-impaired person, I'll be able to receive my vaccination safely.  To be able to find someone who would be able to accompany me to where I need to go and that I would not run into any difficulties.

I guess that we all hope for this but I truly believe when one is vision-impaired, it makes for even greater challenges.

New experiences: Learning to use a new device

At the best of times, learning to use a new device for anyone could either be fun or it could be a trying time.  For me, I will admit that I fall into the category of having fun.

I have learned over the years to develop more patience, use my logic to figure things out, and apply past experience when learning how to use a new device.

For the most part it works but there are always going to be times when I would need a wee bit of sighted assistance to help me get over the hump.  In my genre, I will always have a need to learn how to use new devices so I might as well get used to it.

Just another challenge: Finding the tea bag on the kitchen floor

When wet tea bags fall, they never make a sound.  They fall, they often create a stain, and they lie there just waiting for you to find them and remove them to the garbage.

This is probably one of the things that I need to ensure does not happen too often or that if it unfortunately does that I am able to clean up any stain that it may leave.

However, the most irritating thing is when I unexpectedly find a wet fallen tea bag or when I know that it has fallen and then I have to hunt for it.

It becomes even worse when I step on a wet fallen tea bag and then my clean up task becomes even more cumbersome.  All of this can happen to anyone but for someone like me who has precious little vision, it becomes even more difficult.

Tedious and a necessity: Sorting out the tins


For me, this task never really ends and it is all up to me to make sure that when I sort out the tins that I ensure that they are placed in an organized and logical order and that I am able to find them when I need to.


As someone with precious little vision, it is vitally important for me to be able to find what I am looking for whenever I go searching for a tin, can, or box in my pantry cupboard.


If I sort properly and logically then time spent looking for my desired tin, can, or box is very minimal but if I do not do this then time spent is only going to be long, time consuming, and frustrating.

The changing landscape: My October law exam


Boy, oh boy, and what a difference it was for this exam! Due to the pandemic, everything changed for our online exams at the University of London and now my friend Sam had to come to my home to be the invigilator.


Sam came early and together we made very sure that everything was ready to go, but as they say: something had to go wrong.


It came when Sam attempted to access the instructional video and guess what? There was no audio and no captioning so those of us with either an audio or hearing disability were out of luck.


This was quite disappointing, that the University of London failed to create an accessible video, and Sam and I certainly made our unhappiness and disappointment known to the university. This should not be happening in these modern times when accessibility is being promoted more vigorously.

Nice and toasty: My new sheepskin slippers


They arrived just in time for Thanksgiving 2020 and what a welcomed addition to my daily attire. They are nice, fluffy, and very warm and although I am unable to see them I can certainly visualize them.


They are purple with silver trim and my friend, Gabriella, helped me to purchase them online. I really love them and even more so because they were made in Quebec!


Ah, yes! My new purple sheepskin slippers!

Looking back with a tinge of sadness: Thanksgiving without Mom

 


Thanksgiving 2020 without Mom was not very happy for me and I blame this on the Covid chokehold. We spent it apart and for whereas each year we have our rituals of packing boxes with unwanted clothes in good condition and giving them to charity, that did not happen this year.


The Thanksgiving weekend was very quiet for me, reflective and thankful for all that I had. For all of the blessings that the good Lord had given me and continues to shower on me.


I played my piano, spoke to Mom, and enjoyed looking after my fall plants.
