  • Missing Nonno

    This is a poem about missing the family members we are forced to social-distance from, especially those most vulnerable to COVID-19.
  • Quarantine Buddies

    The end of our university/college careers is always a time to celebrate. The cake reads “Quarantine Buddies” as we were celebrating the end of our time as roommates as well as the end of our rime in London (5 years).
  • Pandemic travellers

    This photo was taken on our flight back from Florida March and finally crossing the bridge in Detroit. News stories urging all Canadians to return home were coming fast. We had originally planned to stay the full March break, but became anxious to return home so we left early.
  • Musical Parody-Imagine

  • Waiting

    I never imagined I'd ever have to lineup for toilet paper. It can be frustrating to lineup only to find what you need is sold out!
  • F#ck Covid19

    Sticking my middle finger up to Covid19!
  • Flour!

    Delivery from Arva Flour Mill. Flour is hard to find these days, so this delivery has lasted us a while and we've been making all sorts of breads and treats with it.
  • Grocery shopping

    Socially distanced line ups at a local grocery store.
  • Grandparenting during Covid19

    Grampa sings a song for his grandson, Eli, on social media. Gramma set up the table beside Grampa with Eli's special blanket and some of his toys. Eli watches Grampa sing from afar on his IPad.
  • Waiting

    Extremely bored as I’ve been laid off for six weeks as of yesterday.
  • #StayAtHome

    The band (BAM!) got together virtually in April of 2020 to rerecord a song that we often play live together with new, topical lyrics. We wanted to send a message to people to #StayAtHome while this pandemic passes, but also to convey the joint sentiments that we are all in this together and we can all contribute something just by "doing nothing".
  • Euph got this!

    Me, holding my Euphonium with punny sign of encouragement Euph ( you’ve) got this!
  • Mother’s Day - May 10, 2020

    Sean O’Meara and partner Darla Wright delivering a Mother’s Day dinner of bison steak from a local farm in St Mary’s, baking by Darla and a puzzle to keep me busy. Eating alone wasn’t so bad when you are loved like this.
  • Change is Good?!

    Fantastic, actually. Our family has stayed busy during the pandemic. My job at Victoria Hospital has increased hours and shifts - now it is usually 4 days on, then 1 day off. My husband's business has managed to accept customers after initial consultation of self-isolation and work has progressed, although a little slower for this time of year. Our son is completing a sequel to his self-published novel from March 2019. These past 2 months have given us time to reflect, and resolve our own life aims. We have accepted the fact the coronavirus is here to stay and we all have to find ways to live with new restrictions. We are extremely satisfied with both Premier Ford and Prime Minister Trudeau - their actions have been steady and show 'true grit'.

  • This sucks

    I feel frustrated most days, and today is no different. I feel detached and alienated from other people. Sometimes I feel I have no desire to ever return to a normal, social life, because this pandemic has changed my view of others forever.
  • What day is it?

    I am safe and physically healthy, but am starting to get depressed.
  • Sounds of physical distance

    I'm nervous, more stressed than usual, but otherwise okay.
  • COVID 19 Life as a single essential service worker at the hospital

    I am doing well! I am always curious and looking for creative ways, as a single person to fend off boredom and isolation at home in between work shifts. I am 54 years old, I have my own house, I have a job I love and am so very grateful that I am essential and go in each day for all of my shifts and do the best job I can at the job I love and have loved for nearly 8 years.
  • Want to go back

    I’m doing okay. I want things to go back to the old normal. I miss seeing people and face to face interactions.
