Daily Excerpt: Diary of an RVer during Quarantine (MacDonald) - Day 1

 


excerpt from Diary of an RVer during Quarantine (MacDonald) - 

Day 1 (Tuesday)

From a carefree life of joyful activities, we suddenly feel like captives within our 38-ft. 5th wheel.  In our RV Park in Victoria, British Columbia, people are keeping their distance from others by walking almost sideways as they pass.  Friends are greeting each other not with a handshake but with a wave, and chatting from chairs strategically placed 2 metres (6 feet) apart.  Physical distancing and hand washing are the orders-of-the-day to mitigate the spread of the highly contagious and deadly virus.  Our poodle Bella can’t figure out why we aren’t leaving the site to play fetch with her ball.  Playing with stuffed toys inside the RV is not quite the same, but she is making the best of it.  My wife Sandy and I decided we would also make the best of it … but how?

 As a knitter, meditator, painter, and ukulele player, Sandy is well on her way to making constructive use of her time.  As for myself, I need a “to-do” list.  At the top of the list will be some form of daily exercise.  I decide to walk Bella around the trailer at least 50 times a day or until I become dizzy.  By the end of two weeks, I imagine a circular path around our rig resembling a trench!  If it rains, I’ll have a moat!
