WELL half the month is gone and I am finally able to sit down and add something here. I am just getting over another "something" even the doctor had no idea what it was. Now that is unreal. I insisted on a chest x ray...that came out negative for Bronchitis and Pneumonia. Thank Goodness. After being sick soo many times I wanted to take no chances. GUESS WHAT.. I had NO taste and NO smell. YES INDEED...it was NOT COVID! I was tested three times on different days. Just amazing. Finally came to the conclusion on my own that using my inhalers more than usual could be causing a problem. Yes I was breathing better but ohhh the side effects. YIKES.. It was not flu, worse than a regular cold..Just plain weird. One the mend now just coughing some. I use two to three masks and hardly leave my place. WHY ME? Just crazy..
SO what else is new? A new tenant moved in across the hall from me and poor lady did not have a thing but a lamp and a lazy boy and a small tv. WOW... we all felt bad for her. She was waiting for her things to come from storage and talk about a wait.. almost 3 weeks. She said a lot of her clothes and essentials were in that storage and so we did what we could to help out. She arrived in a snow storm, we had at least 9 inches total and had no boots. Talk about a sad circumstance. Told her I hardly leave my apt so I wait until the sidewalks clear up before I go. She managed to take our bus to town for some groceries. When her U Haul arrived and they unloaded it they had to hurry because it was snowing! Guess it will take awhile for her to find all her things. I sure know what it feels like to have a place with nothing in it. She was sleeping in the chair!
Word went around the complex that someone in another building had covid. It's not as scary as it was in the beginning where they would spray the building hall ways and wipe down the doors and put MASK signs up to enter. My how times have changed. Possible to have it and not know it.. YES living proof of that..so many tests and so many strains.. who knows any more. ANYWAY... just glad it was not my building. I wear a mask or TWO when I leave my place so I do take the precautions.
This year will be 11 years since my mom passed. It seems like a long time, but your memories are like yesterday. So much has happened and some days you wish you could get her opinion about things. I often find myself talking to her, knowing there will be no answer. If I listen to my inner thoughts I will know what she would say. The days roll on and there is so much unrest in the world I know she is the lucky one not to deal with it all any more.
HOPE YOU ALL STAY SAFE AND HEALTHY...
