So my hubby got a phone call this afternoon that the clinic he works at is closed till further notice.
Apparently one of the employees is being tested for COVID!
So now not only is my Aunt and my Mother on "Lockdown," it appears as though my hubs and I are on morally responsible self quarantine.
We should know on Saturday if his coworker is positive.
Not entirely a bad thing! We can still go fly fishing!! And I don't really need to worry about the phone calls from the two different ALFs cause I honestly can't do anything other than send things with Amazon!
Just wondering if any of you are in the same boat??
Stay safe and God bless!!
Love your positive outlook and hope your husband’s coworker doesn’t test positive.
Enjoy your fishing!
If they had all been on the trip, they would not have to worry about it, but as she is the only one who was traveling it is in the family's best interest if she avoids them.
My son likely has Covid-19. But in Canada they are saving test kits, and asking anyone with milder symptoms to isolate until they have been well for 2 days. I am scared silly for him. He lives 5 hours away, road and ferry trip, and I am worried. I call him twice a day and he knows to call me, if things change. The local doctor where he lives, knows he is sick.
I had to go out today. My cat was bleeding from her mouth last night. My vet has a protocol in place, you call when you are in the parking lot, someone comes to your car to speak to you and collect your pet. My cat will spend the day as they try to figure out what has happened to her.
I stopped to get some needed groceries, no paper products at all in the store, but I am ok for them. No bleach or sanitizer, but I am ok for that and have lots of soap. Lots of signs in the store limited quantities of various items. I just bought what I needed, I did not buy the max allowed.
The baking supplies are very limited. No flour, sugar etc.
I took a bunch of tulips to a friend who is having to close her restaurant. Lastly I stocked up on tea. I am a tea snob, and was due to resupply. I usually buy a month's worth at a time I bought enough for 2 months.
After today, other than going to provide care for my grandson, I am staying home. I do have cloth diapers at my house and if disposable ones are no longer available I will take them to the kids. Although they would be too big for him now as he is tiny. Something is better than nothing.
Thank my lucky stars I am not on a boat at this time! (Especially a cruise ship).
But yes, our experience is using the new word for me: "Social distancing". We are not quarantined, but staying home.
Hubs had his employer take him off the schedule-everyone else there is still working until the boss gets a clue.
My family-person in AL is on lockdown, and is on hospice, and all we could do is send something by Amazon, which will be a
Harry & David small fruit box. Someone will eat it.
There are other kinds of gloves.
Can you wear your winter gloves and then wash them?
Keep looking? Gloves for cleaning, gloves for food prep, gloves for protection against germs, gloves for crafts....etc.
I am wondering how much the progress is coming along with our University here that is a teaching hospital.
Tulane University has a primate center that is being used for injecting the monkeys with the virus to determine how it spreads and possible treatments and vaccines.
Like everyone else, I want it to end.
Due to the lockdown at my Mom's ALF, they sent residents grocery lists over to a local grocery store.
The only thing on Moms list was wine.
She was told that they couldn't do that and she instantly assumed it was because I had told them not to. So she immediately started crying and blamed me for "cutting her off ".
It wasn't until after they explained to her that the bag boys are under aged and can't handle alcohol she realized that her rant was unwarranted.
This is the second time in 2 days she has accused me of colluding with the administration of the facility!
Again, I might be more understanding if she had dementia. She is all there mentally!
I wish there was a cure for Narcissism!!
I am not under quarantine but since nearly everything is shut it's work-home-work-home. But may take a walk along the creek tomorrow.
I certainly feel a sense of gratitude for the life we had, the activities, the social gatherings.
I will be grateful if I can ever purchase the luxury item of toilet paper again...
My DH is meeting with his sisters today to figure out how to keep their Mum safe (if possible) & from being isolated & lonely. We are certainly lucky we have the phones & technology we do.
