The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 8

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. With the yard tidied up, I can now get to the barbecue. Made an impulse trip for some steaks and red wine. Rachel was tired after work, but very happy for a nice steak dinner and a glass of that pinot she likes. We spent some……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 7

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. Just found out from Tony, or rather his wife, the gossip queen of the neighbourhood, that Gary next door got the virus. And this is what happens when you don’t follow the rules. He’s asthmatic so I hope he’s ok. Maybe I should have said something……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 6

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. Had a relatively fun afternoon yesterday shooting the shit with Tony from across the street. Both sitting on our front porches, having a few beers, it definitely helped to take my mind off things. We talked hockey despite all professional sports being on hold at the……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 5

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. We are now in an official lockdown. Apparently asking nicely for people to stop congregating and have the common sense to stay home isn’t enough. The government finally stepped in and mandated that any non-essential businesses remain closed until this thing gets under control. Also, everyone……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 4

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. Gary had to let most of us go. At least he had our records of employment ready so we can apply for Employment Insurance. He said he had a lot of regrets, but I completely understand the situation he was in. It must suck to be……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 3

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. The government finally stepped in to curb the spread of this virus, or Sevec-12 as they’re now calling it. Don’t know what that means, but I’m sure there’s a scientific reasoning for the name. They’ve limited gatherings to 250 people, which means no sporting events, which……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 2

If you haven’t read the previous journal entries, start here. So the first cases have started popping up here. It was to be expected with everyone going about their lives like nothing is going on. People still traveling between countries thinking, ‘I won’t get it’ or ‘it’s just a flu. I can fight it off’.……

The Journal of Zachary Lewis – Entry 1

This virus has gotten out of hand. People are going nuts and buying up all the toilet paper. Not sure why TP is such a huge commodity all of a sudden, but that’s just the nature of things right now.Some other countries are getting overwhelmed with new cases. Luckily we haven’t been hit yet, but……

CampNaNo is Upon Us (and how I finally got out of my writing slump)

So after dusting off the cobwebs, both on this blog and my writing, I’m gearing up for Camp NaNoWriMo. I figure if I at least participate in the NaNo events, I’ll get three months of writing done in the year. This camp session I decided to write journal entries from a guy that’s dealing with……

Slow Start to the New Year

So it’s a new year, a new decade in fact. Actually, it has been for almost two weeks and here I am feeling like I’m still stuck at the starting line. I have a few goals I would like to accomplish this year, but things have been slow. What’s slower than slow? Yeah that’s how……
