I have a cold at the moment and while it's not completely debilitating it has certainly put a cramp on my quarantine style. Lunchtime walks with the hubs are off limits as is taking BB to/from daycare. Working out isn't working with the dripping and wheezing. SO I'm really getting a taste of going absolutely no where/doing nothing. Phlegm is still quite dark so I'm thinking into next week I'm gonna be somewhat gimped.
BB is going to be home with us for the month of April. We decided to do the holding fee at the daycare and I'm going to be in charge of his educational time while we're "on the inside." Hopefully we'll be able to go outside for about an hour each day assuming it's not crowded. I don't care about rain or sleet or snow, I'm just concerned about warm bodies and germs.
The hubs still isn't managing well. I'm not sure if it's me and sharing a space or simply all the news and texting with his sibs during the day about the pandemic, but he's taken to working late into the night in order to make up time. It's wearing on him and I'm concerned-especially considering how we have BB coming home to roost for at least a month!
Anyways. Not all is woeful. I've been having a good time connecting with friends on Facebook and a couple via text. Although I bucked up some bravery and texted my sibs to check in and got shut down a bit. A lackluster text on their part, some follow ups from me and then nothing. At least I know that it's not all me (the lack of texting/communication). If they ain't gonna respond or interact, I don't have to feel bad about not talking with them/keeping up. Not that I HAD to feel bad before.... WHATEVER. Movin' on.
I hope everyone is safe out there and well. By well I mean physically and mentally and emotionally but also financially and employment wise. We've had a lot of people lose their jobs and be put in a very worrying place. I send best wishes for all the above.
Ain't very eloquent today. Blamin' it on the phlegm!
Be well :o)
I have been battling a snotfest for over six weeks now. There is finally light in the tunnel, but it has been a long time coming.
ReplyDeleteWe are not yet in lockdown mode. My partner will find it very, very difficult and I worry about the impact on his mental health.
Stay well, stay safe - and keep blogging.
Hugs.
The constant barrage of information/discussion from the news, social media, friends, and family conversations is definitely hard on everyone. I hope the Hubs can find a way to cut back on some it but, from experience, I know that's hard to do.
ReplyDeleteI'm looking forward to seeing what you do with BB. In my new position, I will be working with kids and am always looking for new ideas.
Here's to phlegm free days for you soon.
