What’s happening?

Today seemed to be the first time when I stayed in my unit without going out as far as the roadside. It wasn’t, but it seemed like that to me. I got up very early this morning because Sam, my cat, woke me up. I sat and read, had a sleep in my chair before I got up for my breakfast, and went back to my chair to read. I had gotten bored with reading by 10am, so I hopped onto Griffith Uni discussion boards for the three courses I’m doing this term. One of them I have an assessment to finish by next week, on another I have to make comments about the posts from others on that course, and the third I read the tutor notes saying that some part of that course was cancelled due to coronavirus. Still, I think the tutors will each keep their courses open – I *hope* so! After these 3, I only have 4 more to finish my degree. Check out Griffith Uni, and enrol if you want to!

After my lunch I popped outside to re-pot two of the free plants I got from Ipswich Council over a week ago. I had intended to re-pot them all last weekend, but I didn’t… at least I did water them every second evening. My pot plants have spread a lot in the last two years – I have two of the plants I got from Ipswich which can grow into actual trees, so maybe some time in the next week I can re-pot them again. I’m sure there are many other councils which provide the same free plants programs – have a look at your own council website.

This avo I watched a program on SBS about racism – it was called “The Truth About Racism”, and Yasser Abdul-Magied introduced it in 2016. She was the presenter, and she  
was very happy with how it worked over the 10 days of the training. Nick, the white Australian man, didn’t acknowledge racism at the beginning, but he had turned around so much by the time it finished and I hope he is still acknowledging racism and is no longer using it. This can be watched online, if you missed it.

I found out today that all Brisbane libraries will close on Monday 23 March, and will stay closed until notified they will re-open. SLQ seems to be left open, and so do Ipswich and Logan libraries. I am hoping to pop into Springfield library (one of the Ipswich libraries) at Orion tomorrow, to get a few more books for the next few weeks. At the moment I only have 3, but I still have at least half a dozen of my own which I haven’t finished reading. Still, perhaps I can get novels, biographies, history of whatever I choose, and maybe even some picture or graphic children’s books which I will read because I need to write children’s or adolescent’s stories in one of the BA courses I’m doing this term.

The three of my quote pics which I have used on this post relate to my opinion of illness, whether or not it is coronavirus. I hope you feel just as good as I am right now!
