Dawn ,'The Killer In Me'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
I don't know what I would do if I had other people in the house with me.
I was just thinking this as well. I am starting to miss interaction a little. When I run a necessary errand I find myself taking an unnecessary amount of time about it, enjoying being out. But my home is my sanctuary. If I couldn't be alone at home I would not be doing well.
HAPPY DREW DAY!!!!!!
I mentioned on Facebook that the results of testing everyone at my assisted living workplace is that I'm officially negative. We're having another round today as this is part if a study.
Still: negative, and so is everyone else, so the social distancing/isolation seems to be working!
My mother and I agree that our situation is ideal -- same house, separate apartments.
I really don't know how people with little kids are working at all. Or, working full-time, if there are other adults you can trade off time with. I was just talking to a coworker who is a single mother but has her mother to help, and she's working half-time, which seems right to me.
Still: negative, and so is everyone else, so the social distancing/isolation seems to be working!
Wow, everyone is negative? That's amazing. My father's old nursing home is slammed -- 30 residents have died, and something like 150 tested positive along with dozens of staff. But that's a full care situation, like, almost everyone in my father's unit was fed their meals.
That is wonderful news, Theodosia!
Yay, Theo! I hope it stays that way.
I just had a little meltdown. I miss the social support of Thessaly, my mother, and my inlaws, and at the same time. I miss quiet time. I've been staying up too late because it is the only time the house is quiet. And I feel guilty complaining about any of it because I know everyone else is going through the same thing.
YAY Theo.
oh Jesse - that is awful.
I would not have been able to work full time if this had happened when mac was anywhere from 6-14, or I would have to be letting him miss e-learning to sleep late and work both before he got up and after he went to bed, which means I would have to nap somehow while he watched movies/tv and had food available. My guess is, I would have had to go to part-time and try to get in 3-4 hours of work while he was sleeping.
I'm still in pjs which is not my normal routine and I need to fix it. right, off to shower and dress.
Happy birthday, Drew!
And Theodosia, this is great news! Yay!
(Side note: one of the things I constantly have to remind myself when writing in English: news, sky, and water are singular, not plural. I have to remind myself that almost everytime).
Indeed I would be in substantially worse shape if the kids were still youngsters. I've got it pretty good with options. If I want alone and quiet I can go in my yard or room and relax. If I want social I can sit in the driveway and chat with neighbors from a reasonable distance.
Sending lots of coping~ma to any who need some.
