Vineetha came today, so I am relieved of most of the house work. I made cheese scones in honor of the occasion.
I can get to the bank and buy some vegetables and fruit on Wednesday and god willing, I can get to the hairdresser for a much needed haircut and pedicure at the end of the month. So life to returning to something that feels much more like normal.
Of course, the danger is not past as is amply demonstrated by the new cases they found in Colombo. I am not venturing out until Wednesday. My friend Ava has taken the lifting of curfew as an invitation to wander around Kandy town. Nuts! Some people just don't get it.
I also feel devastated by the events in Nova Scotia today where the a tragedy that surpassed the École Polytecnique massacre took place. It seems that the world has gone mad. Mother Nature is fighting back and people are going crazy.
Even here over in Heerasegalle where my friends Judith and Deanne live, there were a series of break-ins at some other friends' houses. They think they identified the culprit who was murdered a few days later. The world has tilted off its axis.
All we can do is exercise caution and remain optimistic that things will slowly normalize.
