Corona-virus/ Covid19

What a turn our world has taken. The corona-virus has attacked so many of us now. It does not discriminate, young, older, healthy, unhealthy, it doesn't matter. This Virus is attacking everyone. I have been reading/watching the news and all of this is very scary and our future is uncertain at this point in time. We need to do our part and stop the spread. The only way we can do that is if we abide by the "stay at home" orders. For most of us, we will be working from home and/or staying home. All the kids are out of school, no socializing over groups of 10, and only leaving your house for essentials. I think by the time this is "over" the word "Essential" will bring on a whole new meaning. Washing our hands is more important than ever and distancing ourselves from everyone is the most important. I don't think we need to panic or hoard, but we do need to take this virus seriously and be conscious of our soundings and our cleanliness. Protect yourself and look out for your family and friends. Provide assistance as much as you can for the elder, while also taking care of yourself. Respect each other, care for each other, stay humble, and be kind during these uncertain times. It's global ya'll. China was the main break out of the virus, Italy didn't act fast enough and people on the cruise ships were not monitored/quarantined long enough. Someone dropped the ball. 

For myself and my husband, we are still working. It's very scary going into work not knowing what harmful germs we could potentially catch while we are out. While both of us our doing our best to distance ourselves from people, there are still the ignorant people that don;t care or understand the severity of this virus. 

My husband works for a small company and can basically quarantine himself in his office with his two other co-workers, they do not see outside business. I, on the other hand, I am in an industry where I am surrounded by all kind of people on a regular. We have taken safety precautions and limited our lobby. We are conducting phone interviews/screening and are only allowing our lobby to people that we have scheduled in advance. But for the most part, our lobby doors are locked. Our business in increasingly slowing down. Our customers are shutting down slowly. We do have some essential customer that will be staying open during this pandemic. And I fear for the most. 

It was just announced today that Prince Charles has tested positive for the corona-virus. Hopefully they were able to quarantine him in time and he did not spread it to anyone else. 

The US now has more confirmed cases than any other country. I hope everyone can stay safe and safe healthy! God Bless America!

2026

 Where do I even begin? I got sick a few days before New Year’s Eve and ended up ringing in 2026 sick. Is anyone surprised? Because I’m not. I was down for a full week with a terrible case of strep throat—and I don’t even have tonsils. My doctor basically said I’m just prone to strep… because of course I am. Just my luck. Let’s back up to a few days after Christmas. My husband goes on his annual hunting trip every year, which is usually why I end up ringing in the New Year alone. But this time, I decided to go with him. We packed up the Frenchies, Bruno stayed with my sister, and we headed west for a long weekend of hunting. He always brings a couple of deer home, and that meat lasts us through the year. I know hunting isn’t for everyone. We don’t kill for sport—we hunt for food, and we use every part of it. This was actually my first time going to truly hunt. I’ve been out to the land before to shoot guns, fill feeders, and hang around camp… but I’d never gone hunting until now. I...
I’m really struggling with watching my parents grow older. My mom’s memory has declined a lot, and walking has become difficult for her. She’s not active anymore—she mostly stays at home, only doing small chores around the house. She has very little motivation to do anything beyond that. My dad takes care of so much for her, and I try to keep her going by spending time with her, but our conversations feel so different now. As for my dad, his health is okay—not great, but manageable. I’ve mentioned before how hard it is to watch him face the physical limitations that come with age. He’s always been the kind of dad who could do it all—fix anything, carry anything, help with anything. He’s been my rock, always there to support me. I don’t think he ever imagined he’d still be helping his 40-year-old daughter with Jeep mods—but knowing him, I’m sure he secretly loves it. My dad and I are both facing new health challenges right now. I’m scared—but thankfully, mine isn’t life-threatening, as...
My sister and I took an early 7 a.m. flight to New York for her birthday. The night before, I had put on a new Dexcom, but just as I was leaving for the airport, I got a notification telling me to remove it immediately because it was defective. Cue me frantically trying to replace it without crying—definitely not the smooth start I’d pictured. At the airport, I somehow ended up at the wrong gate while my sister was at the correct one. I went through security alone and made it to what I thought was our gate, waiting by myself for about 20 minutes… until my sister called, annoyed, asking where I was. She thought I was running late and was now rushing through security, while I was already calmly sitting at the actual gate, ready to board. We finally met up, I apologized for the mix-up, she forgave me, and we grabbed some coffee. Caffeine in hand, we headed back to board—only to discover we were surrounded by a group of about 20 teenagers on a school trip to New York. My sister and I aren’...
