 It's been a struggle to say the least.

thursday

I had a video conference with my doctor today.
I've had this dry freaking cough for a couple of weeks and then began with a fever yesterday. Plus my lungs hurt when I take a deep breath and I am so fatigued!
She sent me for Covid19 screening and flu screening. I'm negative for flu. They're treating me for bronchitis or pneumonia and I should have my covid results back tomorrow.
My bet is that I have bronchitis but my hope is that I have covid because it's not killing me and I'd like to quit being full of fear.

After I worked the other day my middle son called me and said " Mom I'm gonna have to put my foot down. Don't go to work anymore until this is resolved!" lol God bless him.
Made me feel so grateful to have my kids and at the same time I felt sorry that they worry.

At one point I sobbed today because I want boyfriend here with me..........................and I wondered did he feel this sick the last 4 years of his life. Then I cried more for all that he went through.

monday

When I was a child and I'd go to a friends house to play, I'd knock on their door and call out "Ohhhhhh  Junieeeeeeeeeee" or whatever the friends name. It's how all the kids in our neighborhood did it.

My earliest childhood memory is of my mom changing my sisters diaper. My sister isn't yet one in my memory, and so I'm younger than two years old. I can see mom changing sisters diaper at the kitchen table....................next to the kitchen table the ironing board is set up and an article of clothing is on it that mom had been ironing......she returns to her ironing after changing sisters diaper.......

Sunday

I made a mini meatloaf and a pot of green beans for supper.
It was the best meatloaf I've ever made.
I ate supper in my bed.
 Mr. Bojangles sat with me while I ate. Not so much because he is a loyal friend but more because he probably wanted some meatloaf.

saturday

It was difficult going to work today.
I felt so torn between going and throwing in the towel.
My dad asked me to not go as did my son and my older sister. They're worried Covid-19 will get me.
We have 1 confirmed case in our facility and maybe half a dozen residents with fever and various symptoms.
I did go to work but I have to admit that I am afraid. I don't want to get ill...….I certainly don't want to die...….....
  I said a little prayer before I went into the building...…………………….and then I just did my job to the best of my ability...……………………………………..when I came home I sprayed the inside of my car with Lysol, went to my detached garage and bagged all the clothes I was wearing and my shoes...….put on a robe...………..left the bagged clothes in the garage...………………..went to the house and showered...……………..this stuff is no joke.

thursday

We had some wicked storms here last night with tornado warnings.
The sky was lit up by lightening, and poor Mr. Bojangles hid out under the bed once the thunder
started. The winds were fierce.
I have to admit I was a little unnerved by it all.
Luckily daughter called. She was having the same weather across the river and in her part of town.
She was scared. So we hung out on the phone with each other until the tornado warnings expired.

Wed

I had a bad moment last night and then I was ok.........and that's how it goes right now.

Today I cut the grass. I love my little yard. My Tulips are almost 3 feet tall. They're beautiful. I didn't know Tulips could get so tall.

Son came over a few days ago and he planted some tall grasses for me in front of  the side wall of my garage......................he also hung a window box for me. I got a really good deal on the window box at Burlington. I'm looking forward to filling it.
The tall grasses came from my old yard. I'm happy to have them!

Yesterday I had the garage door people come (I wore my masks and kept my distance) to give me an estimate on installing electric door openers.
He's not sure they can do it due to something something..............none of it made sense to me.......I will get a second opinion.

tuesday

I went outside tonight to have a look at the full moon.
It made me feel so incredibly far away from boyfriend and so terribly sad.
I love him.
I miss him.

monday

I just finished filling out my Living Will and Surrogate Health Care Designee.
It's been sitting on my desk for months and months. Finally I filled it out. Tomorrow I will have it notarized.

I ordered 2 new pair of glasses.
I buy them from Eye Buy Direct. The total for both pair and delivery was under fifty bucks.
Gotta love it!
 I've always been happy with my orders from them.

I work in a few days.
I have to admit that I'm very scared.
I'm scared for my sisters who are also nurses, and I'm scared for everyone that I love.

I've been keeping all of my laundry clean, and trying to keep all of my house clean and tidy for incase I get sick. That way  I will have all the clean clothes I need assuming I will be well enough to not be in the hospital but not well enough to do laundry...….and who wants to be in a messy house while sick?

Friday


I brought Weepings cat that stood watch over her with us. The new owner would have thrown it away.

I think my Tulips are so beautiful. Boyfriend would have loved them.
A cute picture of Woody from Christmas time...…….and nap time!


He's multi talented...…….here he puts together a puzzle.
 …..
Mr. Bojangles has super powers in his eyes...….he see's through walls.  :O)~

I can't help it but I think he is so cute when he sleeps.

Here he practices Opera.

Lil man is my baby.

He sleeps some of the time with one of boyfriends shirt.

I got the bunny dish out of TJ Max dumpster.


pretty pretty flowers
All of my blinds will need to be replaced.


more pretty flowers
A sign at the beauty shop across the street from the fire house. Sad stuff.

Just a great photo, lol, of my Woody.


friday

It's 2 A.M.
I can't sleep.
My legs are restless and I'm hungry.
I set out a Ribeye steak for supper but put it away because I felt queasy.
 Now I'm hungry.
So I've made some toast and a glass of lemonade.

My Tulips look so pretty.
If my computer comes tomorrow I will post pictures of them.

Wednesday

Yesterday I took a walk at a wooded trail with my sister at the park close to her house. We kept our 6 feet distance from each other.
The walk was invigorating.
My walk is usually the best part of my day.

I've been taking vitamin D everyday and I've been eating lots of veggies( not a new behavior) each day in my efforts to stay healthy during the pandemic.
I must admit that I'm scared.
I worry for all of my family and everyone elses too.

I finally bought a new computer.
I shopped for it online.
It will be delivered soon.
I'm looking forward to posting a few pictures.
