making a quick pit stop!
So much to read today.
@Robo56 I was very shocked to hear about your Stepmom. I'll be sending all of you light and love and the coming times. All of this craziness is hard enough to live through, but this is just another horrible layer for you to try wrap your head around. I vividly remember when my mother in law passed away, tragically and unexpectedly, I just wanted the world to just stop turning for a little bit of time, so that we could just have a little bit of time to comprehend and try to understand why it had happened. Please know that we are thinking about you and your whole family.
@Lynne G I'm so sorry to hear about your mom. It is never easy. I'm glad you have lots of family to help you. I know when my mil passed away, we definitely leaned on eachother for support. I'll be holding you and your whole family in light and love for the coming days.
@keishashadow I hope you get the problems with your teeth worked out soon. That does NOT sound pleasant at all
coming from someone who hates the dentist lol. Also I can't even imagine what things would be like if liquor stores were not open here. I know that they purposely didn't close them, deeming they were an " essential service " as they didn't want those who are dependent on alcohol to be going through withdrawls at all. We are trying to do everything to keep the hospitals clear for those who are truly sick. Same with our canibis stores...they are deemed essential too
I guess at least everyone MIGHT be a little calmer through all of this.
@mckennarose... rant away. I have watched a bit of the news just to see how the US is doing with the virus. Your area is downright scary. I would be terrified and upset too. And when people are purposely ignoring what is asked of them, it becomes dangerous for everyone else around them. I hope you might be able to find some memorable way to spend your milestone birthday this month. Even though your plans have been cancelled...hopefully there is a way you can make it memorable!
@Charade67 I totally relate to your work situation!!!! At some point, hopefully your boss will tell her husband to " step away from the accounting books" lol. Kind of like I keep telling my friends to " step away from the scissors " and once this is all done I'll come over and do your hair one night
I am a hairdresser back in my old days. I just do friiends and family now...and i keep getting messages asking if they can " just do .... " NOPE,,,just step away from the scissors lol
@schumigirl I can totally relate to your mom and her close relationship with her family members. The same goes for my Mom. Her and her sister are very close. They usually meet at least 2 times a week for lunch and them sometimes on the weekend. She mentioned last night that she is really finding this stay home thing easy...except to see her sister. I told her she needs to video chat with her like she is with all of us...and that will maybe help. It's good to hear that Tom and Kyle are now out done with their isolation...even though there is no where to go lol. We listened to the Queens message too. Also, prayers to your PM.
@bobbie68 I can understand your daughter's anxiety over working! I worry, and our front offices are closed to the public. If you don't have a credit card or an account, you don't get material We ask that they stay in their vehicles while their material is being loaded. We are trying our best to keep the social distancing practices. The anxiety can be paralyzing.
Well...I had a very quiet boring weekend. It was cold...and more snow
It is warming up again, but more snow is forecasted for the weekend. We didn't do much. I studied most of the weekend. We did go out and restock some of our food. We should be good for awhile again, except for picking up milk and fresh items. I can't wait to cook up our turkey this weekend! It is one of our favorite meals!
I'm hoping to whip up a few masks for us to wear when we are out in public where social distancing can be harder. I know they don't protect me, but will help if I'm unaware that I might be positive ( we know of a couple people who have tested positive, but have not had any symptoms ) I wouldn't want to be that person who would pass it onto someone who is more vulnerable and gets seriously sick or worse. I don't want to be that person.
Other than that...not much else to report on. The dh is no longer working overtime hours. Since he gets home from work now before me, I'll take out a meat to be defrosted, then he will create a meal. Yesterday was day#1. He proudly said that he " knocked it out of the park!" I said...whooooah there big guy...once you have made 10,647 meals...then you can brag about knocking it out of the park!!!!
I can't let his head get too big!!!!
My mom has tested negative for the virus...and Dad is almost done his quaratine and no symptoms yet. They will test him once he is past his quarantine, to be sure he is not a carrier of it. They are tired of living in separate areas. It was a good thing, they didn't have a renter in their basement suite. Mom was living in there...dad in the main house upstairs. Mom is ready for all of this to be over. 3 more days!
I think I will do some online reading for one of my courses since my desk seems to be paper free for a bit. Or I could just read some trip reports and dream a little. I'm crossing my fingers that by next year at this time, we will be on the other side of this and we can do a graduation trip to Disney and Universal for the youngest DS.
Have a great day to all the Homies here. Stay safe and healthy!
