I wore out the covid fatigue yesterday Just surrendered and accepted, again. Today I
woke up with more energy and willingness to engage in household needs. I may
get out and walk later when it gets warmer. The dogs made good cuddle
companions. I appreciate their warm bodies along with the comfort of good
chicken soup. Later Hollie and I will go to the farm stand and take on produce.
Fresh food and fresh air are a good combination. I’ll get my positive attitude back.
Flat day on Thursday and again today. Rain and wind and my
cozy nest is the best place to be. I was deeply tired yesterday and I’m guessing
I just overdid the socializing. It is eight months today that isolation started.
The news is dire and I’m guessing we are in for a lot of in house time until
spring. I have a stock of canned soup and beans, rice and pasta and other easy
meals. Glad Hollie helped me put in some extra supplies.
Four days in a arrow! Yes, Julia picked me up to see her new
apartment and meet her visiting daughter. It was a long day and I am tired this
morning. It’s the first time I was in a store with other people. Other days we
get there at 7 AM when we are nearly alone so the crowd and moving was a shock.
How quickly we adapt to the isolation. The bone can was quick and easy. Curry
is an efficient and friendly place.
Three days in a row with face to face visitors! Michele came
over for a half hour chat and it was wonderful. We find such interesting things
to talk about besides the obvious news. Today we are going to Brookings for errands
and shopping before I go to Curry Medical for the bone scan. I know it will
show osteoporosis as it has been
creeping up for years. I had no luck with medicine earlier as it caused
projectile vomiting. I tried for five weeks.
I completed the cologuard test and it will go to UPS. Then
the tractor store to find a crate for JuJu so she doesn’t freak out when I leave
the house. She needs chew toys too so
she doesn’t chew the house. Yesterday my
social visit to Marj was interesting. She is repairing old quilts with tiny
pieces and tiny stitches. Lovely work. She has promised to come and visit me. Still
avoiding the political news but was elated at the science news about a vaccine.
Nothing happened as expected except Karen’s “victory” scone
with its nutritious goodness. The meeting between Butters and Coda with JuJu
ended badly with Butters aggression. Chuck stepped in and grabbed her but the damage
was done. . It’s freezing this morning and I am ready for a hot breakfast. Later,
I will walk to Marj’s house and visit
for a while. I will have scarf, hat, and gloves for the 10 block walk. I’m avoiding
the news. Don’t like the crybaby’s whipping up his fellow losers.
No progress yesterday. Felt tired and deeply sad. One brief walk as my back felt better. I’ve been stretching a lot and that helps. Church service is still outdoors at Gayle’s and it’s too cold and damp for me. Karen Quivey is coming for a visit after church. I’m looking forward to seeing her. She’s bringing me one of her famous scones. Karen says she hasn’t written a word since Tea and Stories stopped. I haven’t either. Hoping for movement today in house and yard.
