Where did the day go?

mousmeMy day got away from me, even though I got up on time and managed to take Peggy out for a nice long walk. I got some things done at work, but spent too much time in meetings, and the rest of the time I was kind of half-hearted in all my attempts at being productive, so it wasn't as good as I'd hoped.
I learned that my late uncle's wife is terminally ill and in hospice, which is really too bad. I never met her, as she and my uncle lived in the US all of my life and my mother had a weird aversion to going there. Combined with my uncle having multiple sclerosis, that meant we basically never saw each other. We spoke on the phone a fair bit, but I always spoke to him and never to her. I recently connected with my younger cousin (the youngest of his children), and she is very close with her stepmother, so she's taking it quite hard.
In pandemic news, our government has now officially closed schools until further notice. There's a lot of "a day late and a dollar short" with the government's measures, but I guess we'll take what we can get. We're all but guaranteed a fourth wave now, because the third wave was allowed to swell to enormous proportions, complete with a bunch of new variants, because that's how evolution works.
Peggy is losing her shit at some invisible enemy outside. I will have to cut this short and go figure out what's got her so upset.
