And how are you feeling?

[Orema]

Tired. I forgot about daylight saving time even though homoe reminded us. Oh well.

The same. I will enjoy the later daylight hours, though.

[JDeere]

Tired as well..time change affects everything!

[GeorgiaMa'am]

I am feeling so isolated over this COVID-19 thing already. I haven't left the house for 3 days. I am working from home. My pantry is stocked. I've been texting people. My boy has even come to see me. But still, this feels very lonely. Thank goodness for Diva Kitty. I still sure do miss Tiny Dog, though.

[Bèsame*]

Totally exhausted, to say the least. It's been a very physical last four days.

[Kätzchen]

I feel like time is standing still: Like time is moving slowly.

Slowly, so I can find all the good things in life to fully appreciate and savor.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Pretty grateful for my co-workers who are chatting with me online, as if it's any other day and they can stop by my office and say, "Hi."

I'm hoping that one "chatty Cathy" guy isn't one of them, although I suppose giving him the "bum's rush" via phone would be much easier than in person!

I'm not sure but I still have pain meds. My son says don't worry about the cost J is on board and we'll figure it out just make an appointment. But I'm hesitant to do that because they're new parents and there's now the added expense of that. I was hoping it would just go away. My son told me he just got a raise, don't worry about it, and revealed he makes a lot more, much more money a year than I thought he did, but still. I feel guilty because I'm the parent and it should be the other way around me doing for him and J all they do for me. He said he wouldn't be alive if it weren't for me and J wouldn't have their son if it wasn't for me. Well that's just things you say if you're a decent human being and you care about others but that still doesn't make it right or the way things aught to be.

Have you been to see someone about this yet?

I feel fine. I'm with Georgia in that I don't like being told what I can and cannot do or where I can go but I do hope that these precautionary measures work and that the virus can play out with the people currently affected with no more deaths and that everyone else can be safe from it spreading.

Actually, Chatty Cathy has gotten a little easier to take. He's still annoying, but less so. He's also really a whiz at computer stuff, and has helped me out of a jam or two. I wonder if somebody said something to him, to tone him down?

No, but fortunately though the pain did come back, it went away again. No swelling, fever nothing. It feels like it never happened. I haven't been to the dentist yet but I found one who accepts payments. I'm just waiting to schedule until we have a better idea of what this virus is going to do. Right now we're being asked to not go out if at all possible and if we have to when we do to keep a distance from others, this even if we don't feel sick. In the meantime the dentist I last saw says he'll see me without an appointment as a walk in if things change and I start feeling poorly. But so far so good, thanks for asking.

So sad. A woman I admire has announced she's leaving our company. I've known for a couple years that she'd be leaving, but I didn't expect it to be this year and I certainly didn't expect it to hit me so hard. We aren't close but we have a good relationship and I've supported a few projects she asked me work on over the years.

There has to be something else behind this sadness of mine. Maybe it's because she reminds me of my sister. Maybe I'm just tired from work or exhausted from the lifestyle change with the virus. I'ont know... I'll figure it out in due time.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Focused and semi-accomplished. I'm getting a lot done.

[Bèsame*]

Recieved an email early this morning, that my employer will be paying us an extra $2 for the next 4 weeks. Its feels good to be appreciated for showing up.

[GeorgiaMa'am]

Happy I can log out of work an hour and a half early today. I've built up some overtime over the past two weeks dealing with technology/connectivity issues.

Emotionally drained. On top of Covid 19 and work...

Last night I dreamed a lot about my brother. It has been a while since I dreamed of him. It always leaves me feeling very heavy when I wake up.

This afternoon my phone started blowing up with text messages. From my brother's phone. It was my elder nephew. My sister in law must have turned it on to help keep him in touch with us while they are in isolation. But... I wasn't prepared. It's so great to be able to text with my nephew while I can't see him but my brother's name keeps popping up with it and what a tug. My brother and I had been texting just a couple of hours before he died so that conversation popped right up. My daughter said she knows how to change the contact so it doesn't pop up my brother's name every time I get a message. I thought I would want that but now I'm not sure. Renaming his contact just doesn't feel right. I don't know how we're supposed to do this stuff.

Meanwhile my elder nephew figured out how to voice record messages to text and I have about two hours of audio of him burping and farting and making barfing noises and... yodeling.

[Apocalipstic]

I feel very anxiousd and tired, like I am disembodied somehow. I am achy and sad. I was going to the pool, which really helped my mind and body, but its closed until further notice, as are all gyms in our area.

We are still going to work, and for that I am grateful!

A lot of Covid cases in Nashville, its very scary.

Motivated & Focused

It was over a year after my Dad died that I changed the contact from "Mom & Dad" to just "Mom". It hurt every time it popped up, but I just couldn't change it until I was ready. Maybe you should just wait until you're ready. (((Hugs)))

[Orema]

Good.

Will work from home for an hour or two then the day is mine to finish the laundry, vacuum the car, sweep the garage.
