I got laughed at and told the reasoning why most people purchase AR-15s and such is for protection from the government.

Maybe I’m naive, but I can’t imagine a situation where the Canadian government would try to remove all weapons from its citizens and then murder them.

I try to keep an open mind about most things in life, read different opinions about issues or viewpoints on historical facts to have a better understanding about things. One thing I really struggle to see both sides on is gun control and other restrictions.

Listening to my daughter’s teacher (Zoom meeting with 25 kids) explain how to upload the student’s assignments on Google Slides and Seesaw, and watching short videos together this morning.

When I was in grade 5, I was using school computers for Oregon Trail and typing games.

First experience with a day-long Zoom:

- 15 minutes of “how does this work? How do I mute my mic?”
- “How do I access that document?” (which was emailed in advance)
- Two hours in, someone is watching a video/playing music while someone else is talking
- 90-minute talk about COVID-19

I know there are far worse things happening in the world, but I wish governments (at all levels) would communicate with their staff and update their websites with the new policies before announcing them to the media.

It creates confusion and frustration when people call to ask questions, and the response is, "I don't know either."

I field phone calls about it, and I have to say, "I'm learning about it at the same time as you."

My new pet peeve: people who can’t distinguish between differing and deferring (related to mortgage payments.)

I wish I understood why people feel the need to micro-manage from a distance when things are going well. I am feeling quite fatigued today from it.
