Hamstern - Stock Piling

Reading the subject, I think that most of us think it is about toilet paper, those days, right?

Yes, we are restricted in our lives, the dark clouds hang above us and no one can escape.
Sh!t happens,  right?

So, my beautiful Toilet Roll Collectors, are you happy, now you have a stock for a few months?

And if so, what problem did you solve?
Was there a problem at all? Apart then for the people, who needed paper and could not get it?

Is it stock piling what you do?  I love the german word Hamstern so much more ;-)

The principle of stock piling is saving things for when you are not able to access it anymore.
For example, when you are ill, and you can not leave home, and you have no one around who can get your stuff for you.
So... why the toilet paper?
It was a run, but it is over now, and the shops start getting their normal stock again.
Why did you collect all those cans, all those water bottles (you can drink from the tap, you know!), and heaven knows what more?

I must agree, I have done some extra shopping as well. It was basically, because so many people are buying like crazy.  Look into the mirror.  Do you really want to tell your mom, or your children, that you were in the queue at 6 am to get toilet paper?  How do you explain it ?

The idiot who started buying a pallette of rolls, who was it?   Now the entire worlld is pampered with toilet paper, what's next?

People, be nice for yourself. Be nice for your wallet.  Yes, buy a bit extra. When you get ill, you may not leave your home for 2 weeks.
Ask for help, if you need it.  Yes, I know that that is the problem. There are many lonely people, who have no one to ask for help.
Don't be afraid to ask, if you need help.  You will be surprised what happens!  You have nothing to loose, right?

Care for your neighbour, maybe he or she is the one who needs your help, and can't go out for shopping herself.   How should you feel, if you offer help, and you can not get the item that the other desperately needs?
Would you share your stockpile with them?

Think about it.  The time to think 'me first', is definitely over.
The time now is, together we can!  And we will!

Take the challenge, not the paper work!

Saturday. 
A two days weekend.
Can you imagine, how happy I am?

Still no trace from that document...😑😑

Very positive ... A lot of sun☺
A message from my daughter 😍😍
After shopping (what is not fun, those days)  there was market 😊
I avoided it, of course, but it looked so familiar 😄

A little walk on a bright and cold day
Waiting for dinner for two
Almost ready

Tomorrow I really  must find the document.

Things come to a change rapidly, but not so fast as the weather.

The lockdown is prepared, it wont last long before we all are in our houses. 

So, what to do with the time.  Cleaning the house is definitely an option, and it will be done , one day.  Now I feel still a bit restless, and I am running around  without being very productive. What of course is not a nice thing, not for me, and not for my beloved.

So, what I go to do, is writing this blog, and then, after it, a bit of house cleaning. I have to learn it again, I think, and when this lasts a bit, we shall end in a place as it was not before.  Just like in the world outside.

Tomorrow I made this photo. It is exactly telling what the day is.  No sun, not much color. But, if you look well, you see a tree behind the house.
Considering that this is the view that we have from our kitchen, I also got inspired by the book of Anne Frank. Who was hiding as well for something bad, something evil.
And in the time, that she was hiding, she wrote her diary.  As I do it now, now I am hiding (well, not always, but more and more) , for the evil.

Spring starts, officially, and the temperatures will rise.  The grey will soon be decorated with a bit of green. It is the lesson that nature gives us.  After a hard time a winter, with not much sunlight (and loads of rain, lol), it now is time to recover.  The tree is already in spring modus. And every day that I look at it, I will know that we are a day closer to the end of this fear.

I will make messages of hope, as if only to defeat my own unhappy feelings.

I will make a plan, this afternoon, what I can work out and what I can do, a daily scheme.  Life goeson and so are we.

The  countdown started.  We are strong, when we are not alone :)

This morning I got the idea of starting a little diary, about the things that happen with and around me.
We are in times, that we can not be sure what is happening tomorrow with us, also it has not much use to think about that. The show will, and shall, go on, and the make up might be flaking, but.... our smile still stays on.

I got a lot of crying people today, they were all worried about the virus that is on its way. Well, I must be careful, else I can join them in their sadness, and not knowing what to do.  I need people to talk to, yes, but for all I need to talk to myself, and stop the thoughts at tomorrow.

I got a nice talk, today. Someone who thinks about challenges. Someone who likes to use the time, to get creative, and do something for us all.

I think that that is amazing, and a good thing to realize.
It are 'slower times'  at the moment, what means, more time forourselves.  Something that we are not good in. We are better in telling others what to do.
Now, we will learn to be good for ourselves. And for the people that are close around you.
