Welcome to my pond - Swim, wade, or sit on the bank

Right now nothing is to be regarded as just a 'terrible flu'.

Agreed! The flu itself is nothing to be toyed with, even during the best of times.

I'm trying so hard to pretend I'm not stressed, but my eye is starting to twitch... That's my traitorous body betraying my calm, casual exterior.

It's tough right now. Especially if you have others to worry about.

We are still just but my postmistress was here with her Hubby fun having her come out
she understood I was bummed loosing the little cochin

I too miss the babies.... so nice!

But also... NOT the right time for any grandkids! (Since the only kid employed is the 16 year old)

And yep on the stress

I bet just this huge amount of stress causes a huge uptick in stress related disease.... so.... most of them.

On a better note.... virtual coffee hour was actually good... odd, NOT as nice as real life, but good.

And everyone showed up dressed, and no one went to the bathroom while on camera. One spouse did show up in the background and did neck nuzzles on camera

And me... I flipped myself upside down and took a minute to figure out how to go back to right side up.

But... nice...

Spouse felt bad that I was yet again missing my one day out... so made blueberry sauce and pound cake (cake made by 11 year old) for my breakfast, and Denver omelet for my lunch.

Spouse... no longer leaving for work every weekday is bored and so COOKS every single day!

So, my mom and stepdad have decided that they want to join us for Easter. Mom has also said that from joe on, if we come over for anything, we are to come in the house because, “Bob needs to see people!” That would all be great if we didn’t have the paramedic coming and going. But... they are aware of the risks, we will take the best precautions we can - sanitize before they come, make sure we are washing hands frequently and no hugging. My mother is a very social person and the isolation is driving her crazy. She’s on the farm, so there aren’t even close neighbors she can go out on the porch and see. Just her, Bob, the one dog and the barn cats. (We has to put her 17 year old Border Collie mix down on Thursday.)

I wondered yesterday as I accidentally sprayed Lysol into the wind & it blew back into my face how many Lysol related illness might spring up. Maybe that's why my eyes twitching.

PS. Your spouse rocks!

It went in my mouth & I inhaled it pretty good. Being an optimist, I'd like to believe that it cleaned out any germs in my mouth, lungs & eyes that I might have picked up in the store.
(*Disclaimer; Inhaling Lysol is bad, so don't try this at home kids.)
