20 April 2025 - Easter Sunday
This has been a different Easter for me. Unfortunately I got the flu earlier this week, and it turned into bronchitis, so I'm basically homebound. Was supposed to go to the boys on Good Friday for a prawn braai, but wasn't up for it. Wingman came round with his new lady later to bring me some prawns. Apart from church in the morning, I stayed home, indoors.
Saturday I didn't go and visit my mom as usual, as I definitely don't want to make her sick. So took a drive to a drug rehab center, where a late friends son is getting treatment. He's been there a year in a weeks time, has cleaned up well, is considering joining their counselling training. We will see how he does. I needed to get him to sign some documents for the lawyers attending to his late dad's estate. Got back home, went round to a local poker game, and joined in. Was a free roll, so no expense. Did okay, went out 9th, but considering there were 30 players who started, that's a good result. But, when the cards don't come, they don't come. Got home, went to bed, but didn't get much sleep.
Today, church. Was a nice service. Then came home. Been here all day. Had a simple lunch, have to eat to take my meds. Wingman called to say hi, and check on me. We would have gone on a breakfast run today if didn't get sick. We agreed, maybe tomorrow, if I'm up for it. However, I'm not sure I should be exposing my chest to the cold. Will probably give it a miss.
I'm not stressed about not having had a typical family Easter Sunday, But being alone has given me a different perspective on the meaning of the day (Resurrection Sunday), and time to reflect.
Bigger issues are the possibility of my employer going out of business. That's going to leave me in a shithole. The property is also under offer to purchase, and if it gets sold, we will have to relocate the workshops by the end of May! Lease expired 31 May! And that's a shit show - probably 2 - 3 weeks downtime. Maybe problems with staff and transport. And the expense involved with moving trucks, riggers, forklifts, rewiring the new premises - it would probably be cheaper for my boss to buy the premises we are in.
But that's very much out of my hands, and so I keep the faith.

It's horrible how something as simple as bronchitis can prevent you from seeing your "usual people". But I hear you...my bronchitis prevented me from seeing Steph for almost 2wks. I simply couldn't risk spreading it in that environment where there there are so many compromised immune systems. Glad to hear your Wingman is staying in touch. He's the one you miss most, I suspect. Look after yourself, brother...
