How have you adapted to the changes brought on by the Covid-19 pandemic?

Covid has been the worst thing I’ve seen the world go through in my lifetime. No one was spared, it was in every country. I got 3 immunizations including my booster. Every time I got immunized I had full blown covid symptoms for 5 days straight. I got covid twice, lost my sense of taste once. All that is nothing though because so many lost their life over this needlessly and so many are still experiencing long term symptoms because of it. How can you adapt to the changes this horrendous thing has brought about? Just like after 9/11 and the heightened security. You have no choice you just go with the flow. Increased pricing affected all of us, our car insurance just went

for the fourth time in a year. Groceries are out of sight, homelessness is a major problem, the people in charge of our country are not helping matters. Okay end of rant but yeah covid did none of us any favors.

What are your morning rituals? What does the first hour of your day look like?

Get up, then get the kids up for school, brush teeth, I always shower at bedtime so no need for that, skin care routine , spend time giving my cats lots of attention, they will accept no less, scoop their box, give them food, get the kids out the door, drink water, I always feel better after I hydrate and some mornings I go out walking them I’ll come home and make tea .

Which aspects do you think makes a person unique?

Each of us is unique, we are all our own individual person and while we may have similar likes and dislikes of someone else it’s our differences from anyone else that makes us unique.

If you could have something named after you, what would it be?

Nothing. I don’t seek fame, attention or notoriety.

What makes you laugh?

Good clean humor, not that nasty vulgar stuff that passes as humor today. My husband, my children, my cats.

When you were five, what did you want to be when you grew up?

When I was five I remember wanting to grow up to be a mother and that’s exactly what I did.

What’s something most people don’t understand?

I think the elderly are misunderstood. They may seem like they are complaining about something but they just want to voice their opinions and have a listening ear. People don’t understand how lonely they get and many see them as a nuisance, which is absolutely not true. They just want to be validated and not be invisible.

How has technology changed your job?

Technology had made my job as a cashier quicker and easier to get the transaction through. There is less chance of human error.

How often do you say “no” to things that would interfere with your goals?

Depending on the person it can be hard to say no because you don’t want to let them down. Recently I have gotten better at saying no though because it has been cutting into the time I need for myself to get things done.

What’s a secret skill or ability you have or wish you had?

I’d love to be able to read faster. I have quite the collection of books to get through so this would be very helpful.
