so how will this pan out

So far I have only concentrated on the now, I was unable to even think beyond a week in advance and I know it will be a problem in the near future.
However I need to get my head sorted , for the first time since this started I have to consider that my job might be at risk, I work for a large IT Company and so far I was quite save and nothing to worry about but the fact is if  the economy doesn't pick up quite fast in the next few month than my Job could be at risk, so I need to get my head around this and make sure that if that happens my CV looks interesting to Companies out there.
I have a pretty good skill set  but I defo need to brush up and do a bit of refreshing and some IT Certs,which means I need to get my Ass into gear, that will be tricky but I guess I have a motivation now

Anyway in global news , it seems that more and more governments try to return to normality, not quite sure how that is supposed to work if we have no fast Test that can tell you in the morning if you did catch this virus or not and as far as I know we don't have anything close to that.

I hope that at least Nature got a breather from us in the last few weeks and with far less pollution we might have helped this poor planet a tiny bit and I kind of hope more people will pick the bicycle to commute

still in lockdown

I have no Idea which day it is of the official or unofficial lock down and honestly don't want to know, I  don't want to count the days, anyway I think I'm back to some kind of regular training, guess doing two days in a row of structured Workout should proof that,right ;o))

The Weather is really getting better, it gets warmer and the sun is shining, it gets really hard to stay disciplined and not to venture out for long but than I read a report of someone who got the "mild" version of this nasty bug and that's not even close to what I would call "mild" , I do not want to catch this, so after reading one of these reports I happily go back onto my couch and sit it out
I haven't been in a big supermarket for weeks and the thought of going into even a small one from time to time stresses me out,luckily in Ireland shopping home delivery is very common, so as soon as I need a bit more stuff , cat food and basics I will put in a online order.

My biggest fear at the moment is actually getting a toothache, I invested in a fancy electronic toothbrush which at least gives me the illusion that I do more for my Teeth health.

I want to talk about Social Media but will keep that as a separate post.

its day whatever of lockdown

I have somehow lost utterly track of time, this is actually one of the reasons why I restarted this blog, I often don't know which day of the week it is , luckily my cats remind me about the time of days or more exactly they remind me when it is feeding time.

Cats, let me talk about my cats, about 4 years ago I cycled on a busy enough side road and stopped at a traffic light , I did put my foot on the side path and waited for the traffic light to change to green, suddenly I realized that a small black fluff ball was beside my foot, the trick was now grabbing that fluff ball without scaring it onto the busy road, I managed it and realized I had a rather small kitten in my hand, there was a house just beside the Road and I had hoped that the kitten had run out of there, the person in the house said no.
So that was me standing in the middle of nowhere, in cycling Gear ( Lycra ) in the winter with a Black kitten, luckily the kitten was not scared and was happy to explore the world on my shoulder.
I phoned a Friend asked that he rescued me , the kitten and my bike, luckily he is also a Animal lover and jumped into the car,problem he was not living around the corner so it took him easily 30-45 minuted to get to me, try to keep a kitten entertained and warm ( I had no pockets - Lycra ) but I managed and we got rescued, the Kitten was a hero , calm relaxed and friendly , he was sitting on my lap while we drove to my place.

So I had now a tiny Kitten in my home, no cat cat food , not sure if the kitten was healthy and no real Cat experience also it was Saturday afternoon.
I tried to drive to a Vet but since I had no box to put the kitten in and he just wanted to stay with me, so called the next friend who by chance also worked as a volunteer in a Animal shelter, luckily the Vet in that shelter was still working and confirmed I had a healthy kitten with very dirty ears, the Shelter was kind enough to give me some basic supplies so that I would manage over the weekend

I didn't even try to hand over the kitten to the Shelter,told myself at that stage I need to be sure he ( turned out to be a boy ) needs to survive a week and I will find him a good home, the home was my place and my heart, he is a black cat it is still hard to find homes for black cats, stupid superstition, I pretend I have a black panther at home, a small one

6 Month later I adopted a second cat, with the Idea that they would be best friends and cuddle with each other, they don't cuddle and they don't like each other but that's something I have learned to accept and I love both cats for their unique ways

So why I'm writing all this, firstly I think the story needed to be told, secondly these cats help me to get through this, I'm on my own but I'm not lonely
