With everything closed until further notice I have become a kindergartener homeschool teacher as well as helping my girl with keeping up with her dance for her recital later in the year. I also have my two great nephews here. One is 2 and one is 6 their parents still have to go to work. My sons and husband are still able to work but not sure how long. It makes me very very anxious. My oldest son (22) had just bought a house, a truck and has a new baby to care and pay for. He doesn't have much back up as everything he had went into his house. My youngest son (19) is living with his girlfriend and I talk to him often. I have to worry about my mother-in-law (80) and my mom (58) who both live here and both are in the very high risk categories with heart issues as well as breathing and many other medical issues. We are stocked up from just being at the butcher for our annual deer. The shelves are bare everywhere. People are buying up baby wipes and formula on top of the toilet paper etc. This is scary for moms with babies who need this. We just received notice that the first case has been diagnosed in my county. It's definitely getting closer and closer. We are not supposed to be out between the hours of 8pm and 5 am.I'm grateful for my lush friends to have others to talk to during this time. Please stay safe everyone.
Good evening all. I hope everyone is staying safe. New Jersey has pretty much shut down. If you don't hear from me please check on me. I am not ok I will be homeschooling two kids while also having a 3 year old and on some days a 2 month old until the end of the month at least. My kindergartner has brought home packets of science, language arts, and math work as well as some work from gym, art, and music. Wish me luck on my first official teaching gig lol. All schools in NJ and PA among many other states are closed. I have plenty of food and yes tp and Lysol etc but I truly think I better go to the liquor store and stock up. Seriously though, I am seeing so many states closing down everything. Lockdowns in all the nursing homes and the elderly not able to get what they need. This definitely has shown how much humanity has gone down. People fight over things in the stores and stockpile everything. My best friend is very sick. She will never be well. She had cancer, before that her lungs were damaged from medication a doctor had given her too long, and she had a tumor removed from her spine which left her with nerve damage. She cannot find antibacterial soap or Lysol. Things she needs all the time. She already pretty much self quarantines herself every winter as a cold for a normal person will put her in the hospital with pneumonia. We are checking all the stores to find some for her but it's ridiculous. I found some gloves today from of all places an automotive paint supply store.
Now can I please have a double shot of tequila with a bottle of NyQuil that I think is still behind the bar so I can just go pass out for awhile. Sending everyone hugs.
Good morning Carl. Thank you for the set-up and those yummy Boston Cream donuts.
Sir, I am glad to hear you are feeling a little better. I hope we have a better time with the dryer repairman coming tomorrow. I filed my claim with the warranty company so I hope that means it was passed along.
G- I feel you with your dealings with the hospital and hospice. Too many people have succumbed to that damn cancer. I'm sending you hugs and prayers for strength.
Not much going on here today. The first person has died from the corny-virus here in Jersey. Yesterday we all received paperwork from school about what will happen if the CDC closes them down. We will be doing homeschool over the internet in order to keep the days counting towards the 180 they must go. My littley is learning her third recital dance and I'm absolutely amazed at how well she is doing. She still has one more to learn but I have faith in her and her teacher. She will be dancing tap, ballet, hip hop and jazz. There is also some gymnastics mixed in as well. She is getting very strong and can almost do a cartwheel and handstand.
Now I will have my tea while she is getting ready for school. Hugs to all who need one.
