Lockdown 307

Lockdown Day 307 - 27 January 2021

With the cyclone still front and center on our synoptic chart, and Pretoria having hourly bouts of soft rain, I had to bear the lockdown end of things such as changing our address for proof of residence.

This meant braving the queue in the bank to get a temporary solution to the absence of this document while awaiting final registration on our house.

Again, I turned this into a people watching exercise, and again, my filter needed a change. I felt like an extra in a scifi movie and the bank looked like a UFO station, with masked people softly padding to and fro, each in their own bubble.

My patience and hearing ability was tested to the utmost while my joy was challenged beyond all boundaries of reasonablility.

Somehow I actually managed to hold it together and get through the process without completely losing my marbles. I left with a shrug of my shoulders and a mm-hm-aha-YEAH-💃 walk to my car. This was a minor victory, but a victory nonetheless.

So tonight I am thankful for the little things and God's particular attention to detail. For His protection and provision. And for the fact that He's got this.
