Today we're allowed to open the store properly for the first time in a month. During the past month we had to make due with call & collect due to Covid restrictions. To be honest I didn't mind it, especially this past week when I started working again.
Last night was the latest press conference, where the prime minister and minister of health announced that the measures will be relaxed somewhat. On Thursday it was leaked that non-essential stores were allowed to open and work by appointment. But the details (last year there had to be at least four hours between making the appointment and the appointment itself) would be announced on Friday night.
However, yesterday afternoon it was leaked that instead of working by appointment we were allowed to open with the measures that were in place before the lockdown. So, face masks, one customer per five square meters and we have to close at 5pm.
I'm not even sure if I will be able to make it until 5pm. This past week I worked three hours a day, taking it really easy (mostly checking and putting away shipments) and it tired me out enough that I had to take a nap in the afternoon. Now I will have to help customer, on a Saturday (most difficult customers of the week). On the other hand, it might be a quiet day. Before during periods of high infection numbers Saturday was the quietest day of the week.
I'm looking forward to tonight; my father will drop my off at my sister's place where I will stay the night. We'll finish watching The Wheel of Time and place a board game if we feel like it. I was supposed to go for a couple of night during the New Year's Eve weekend, but that fell through due to my appendicitis.
