Covid finally decided it wanted to leech its grasps on my family.

Stupid dang virus. My daughter and her husband both have it. My two grandkids seems okay at the moment.

Gosh we need a vaccine ASAP. Tired of this.

I need to get back to sleep, I’ve a super busy day today (it’s 2:45 am) and I’m wide awake. I might as well put coffee on, putting this out there helped me a wee bit. 😁😅

They are saying steroids help until the vacinne is done, but I think this virus will mutate once vaccine available anyway, so be like flu and yearly. Take heart, they know a lot more about it now than before. 90 year old get over it, I know one, so keep hope in that. Love to you all. X

Thank you. This thing has mutated several times since this started. They sent them home with no treatment as to just get over the flu and report back if symptoms get worse.

Maybe they are giving treatments if you go to hospital only. This is my baby, not being able to do anything for her is a horrible feeling as a mom. 😥

Well fingers crossed for them. Maybe they needed to go to hospital first? Rules keep changing don't go, go if need to.

You are going to feel bad, most mom's do whatever age their kids are. Be there to help with anything you can. Lots love and hope and best wishes to all of you xxx

Maybe Now’s a good time for a roxy dawn picture puzzle 🧩....hope everything goes ok

in reply toSillysausage234

Thanks Silly. 🌺💜 On the upside, I close on my house today.

Picture puzzles are a sure thing as I wait for the painters to finish painting my new house, I’ve packed and ready to move in already. 😁😁

that’s good news ....so when does the search for big foot officially start?

in reply toSillysausage234

Painters start Sunday, they’ll be there all week. I’m officially moving in 11th. Sounds far away, but paint and putting in hardwoods in the bedrooms are must.

I’ve been watching swamp people....😀....in Louisiana 🐊

How can I get my hummingbirds to move with me? I’ve got about 6 at one time feeding each day. It’s a traffic jam at the feeder. 😂😂😂

Could always ask them .......or leave them ....get some more when you get there

in reply toSillysausage234

I think I’ll put a post it note on the feeder with the new address. I’ll let them know this is where the best nectar in town can be found. 😂

I’m sure your new place will have lots of them...I want some ....and a bird of paradise might move to the Galápagos Islands 🌴....ride around on a tortoise 🐢

in reply toSillysausage234

You crack me up. 🤣🤣🤣

I said I would live underwater and swim with the fishes one day. Ive scuba dived a bunch in my earlier years, I really could become aquatic. 😂😂

Oh Roxie, I'm so sorry. They are in my thoughts and prayers!

Roxie:

I'm sorry to hear your family is sick. Hopefully they will be able to remain at home and ride it out.

I so relate to your feelings as a mom. Moms want to fix and comfort our babies. My heart aches for you.

Are they far in distance?

in reply toDolphin14

Thank you. Come share a cup of coffee with me. ☕️☕️

That’s just it, I can be there in 25 minutes. It’s too bad hugs and chicken soup are useless. Trying stay focused and positive. You guys are helping me this morning. 💜

☕️☕️. I'm with you on the coffee.

I would drop things on their doorstep. It will make you feel like you are doing something.

Moving will keep you busy that's for sure.

Yes we will keep you distracted for sure:) it's what we do :)

in reply toDolphin14

That’s a great idea. I’ll be in town for my closing at 2, we should go get them a goodie basket, magazines, etc.. things to help them pass the time. You’re a genius and an extension of my brain when it’s not working to well.

Im painting my current house so I’m simultaneously moving and selling at one time. 😬😬😬

I have managed almost 5 hours sleep, but that was ages ago, I’ll be running on coffee and anxiety the rest of the day. 🤣🤣🤣

Thanks for being here.. 💜🌺

Yes a basket of goodies will be a good pick me up for them and give you a sense of purpose.

Moving is so stressful. But it will be nice to get in and make it your own. I love decorating. It's fun looking around for the perfect items.

Sleep doesn't come easy for me either. My Dr has limited my caffeine intake. I've broken the rules for the last week... I know not very dolphin like haha.... but guess what? I'm sleeping better :) who would have thought.

Always here for you Roxie.

in reply toDolphin14

I love redecorating too. I’m recycling my kitchen table, it’s a tile table but doesn’t match, so I’m in the process of actually sanding down tiles and going to paint it. I already painted a black shelf white and aged it so it looks really cool. You gotta do what you can to save. The big check due at closing stings a bit.

How I get my cats and dogs acclimated to a new home should be fun. 🤣🤣

I usually stop coffee around 9 am. My sleep is broken, I haven’t slept 2 straight hours in 2 years. It’s hot flashes, they’re killing me softly. The day I’m not woken by a hormone surge will be the best ever. Haha. 🤣🤣🤣

Sounds like a lot of fun repurposing what you have. Giving it new life.

Animals have a tough time with change. They will adapt eventually.

Hormones.... don't even get me going there. There was a time my body could go outside and melt snow! It was that bad. Hahaha

in reply toDolphin14

Melting snow is exactly it. So funny.

My husband wraps up neck to toe with a blanket while we watch tv I keep it so cold in here at night. He looks hilarious. 😁😁

Yes, has to be cold enough to see your breath. This is about you haha. He can get a sweatshirt lol

in reply toDolphin14

Happy wife happy life. Isn’t that what they say?

Bless his heart, he sleeps out here in the living room with me on the love seat every night supporting me, waking each time I get up. It does me zero good to try and sleep in my bed anymore.

I’m hopeful better sleep can be accomplished at my new house, as in staying in bed and trying to work through wakings. Finger crossed.

I so know as I'm a double transplant patient, so been shielding since early March, pre govt info. I go to one of the hospitals developing UK vaccine, and know one of them. Steroids help destroy cells I believe, I have taken lots of them even for asthma and they worked so guess trying everything that they can think of until that magical day I hope and pray for to arrive sometime. Good luck and get well wishes to those who follow the rules and still get infected. Xx
