Sooo January has been an interesting month. Where I live we have had little snow and some cold temps but very mild compared to all the other areas in the country.Snow came and melted and then green grass shows everywhere. Just is so strange.
I started the new year trying to get over a lingering bout of Bronchitis that started in December. The coughing had the neighbors asking about my health and curious if I had Covid. I have left my apt very few times so there was reason to ask I guess. Just trying to get stronger and stay away from people. I have had my fill of sickness so far and don't take too many chances.
People mostly acting like nothing is going on. Not wearing masks or keeping their distance. Not trying at all. It sure is odd. Things are worse than in the beginning. The latest OMICRON virus runs like a cold.. seems everyone will get it sooner or later..I hope mine is NEVER. I guess I can dream. I ordered test kits from the government recently it is sure easier than standing in line or making an appt some where to get a test. Now all the masks we have are not really good enough so I wear TWO just hoping they will help. Kids in the family sent home repeated times because a single child has tested positive as precaution. So we sit and wait to see if the kids get sick and have to find a place to have them tested.
Other news is that a family member is on hospice watch and end of life care. Although they are not really close to me they are family. It is a difficult time for us all. Quite a shock to us all. We are still processing the news and trying to deal with the days to come. Appreciate your prayers for us at this time.
I do hope you all stay healthy and safe through these very hard times ahead.

i am SO sorry you caught that coughing bug ((hug))) i never understood why people are acting like nothing's going on also- i even wondered at one point if i was approaching this pandemic too carefully! We dont even get take out food or groceries!
BUt one by one my friends who couldnt take it anymore and went on vacation or partying ended up sick with covid (sigh) one almost died!
so here we are ,losing our minds.
glad you are getting better
Sis, I wish we were near to bolster one another up. With Jade too and Myst.
I have improved with my bronchitis (not covid related..just plain ol' bronchitis) but man, it's hard to totally kick as you know.
I did the drive-through testing three times and two times the result was "indeterminate." I'm not going back. I wanted one of those N-95 masks the government was giving out but by the time I got to Meijer, they were gone. I thought I could get one at our library where I'd gotten one before, but they were gone there too. Since I've already been vaccinated, boosted AND gotten the virus, I almost want to say, why bother, and not mask up either. Frustrating times we live in.
Sorry to hear about your family member in hospice care. My father was in hospice care last year, but for only a day or so before he passed. It's tough.
