Today is Mayo Uno! Prior to 2020, I have not treated it as a non-working holiday. I am usually in the clinic for 1st day of May, working as an OT. But today, with the community quarantine still on and no teletherapy scheduled, I find myself on a Labor Day long weekend.
I will take this opportunity to express my gratitude to everyone who are bravely and diligently working outside so that the rest of us can stay home. Our heroes, the frontliners.
