The time of our lives..

We hadn't had an overseas holiday in 3 years, so when all this started we were having the time of our lives in New Zealand. It didn't feel real.

Then we arrived home, Sydney airport was.. weird. The staff were nice, but it was strange seeing masked Australians greet us instead of warm smiles. We made it to our car in record time, we had a flat battery - was this the start of 2 weeks quarantine!

Thankfully we were allowed home, it felt good but scary. We can't leave for two weeks, can't see our loved ones after 4 weeks away. We survived and thrived in our new home/work environment - mostly.

Suddenly days had rolled into weeks and we could now see our family, walking 1.5metres apart. It felt great, sharing walks with my sister saved my sanity.

I work in a tourist facility, we were told 4 weeks then our jobs would be reassesed. I worked harder than ever before, learning new technologies, building new webpages, throwing myself into producing engaging 'SOCIAL MEDIA' content. I hated it, but I love my job and my team, and my historic buildings. COVID - 19 would not change that.

I found a lump last week. The possibility of a new medical condition in this 'new' world. Fear is different now..
