Technically, yes she can isolate in the house.

But she hasn't. She was washing dishes this morning and I explained what isolating meant and she has to wear a mask if she is in the rest of the house and she fussed about who would do the dishes (in the Covid drama of last night they didn't get done). And I've heard her in the hall multiple times since then.

We mostly just disposable masks but I'm going to try and see about getting some different ones ...I'll do curbside pick up or next day delivery. And I guess when M and I are in common areas we will be wearing masks.

I have to go into work because you only get excused if you test positive. I'll wear a mask and if I'm working on what I did Wed I'll be isolated from people.

This sucks.

askye, when ltc and I had had it we all masked in common areas and TCG never came down with it, fwiw. We were wearing N95 masks.

I tried to wear a heavy duty mask at work but I was sweating too much. Double masking wasn't too bad. I stayed away from ppl.

At home I'm going to make in common areas and kind of stick to the office ish room. I don't think she'll wear a mask in common areas so I can only do what I can do.

I can barely get anyone to come to Francesca’s kids party and am feeling like the worst mother ever.

You are not a bad mother and Francesca is an awesome kid.

The other moms suck.

Our wings are not tired.

Bringing back all the memories of kid party trauma and drama. Yes, it really sucks. You are a wonderful mother, sj. I'm sorry you are having a rough time.

Summer birthdays are the worst. Everyone is always either on vacation or has other plans. We’re going to have so much leftover cake and pizza.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"

Timelies all!

I'm sorry you're having trouble getting people to reply, sj.

I have to keep telling myself that I only have control over myself. And that I should realize that M's mom is not going to stay isolated and won't really wear a mask when she's in other parts of the house and that she will, of course, still keep wandering into the kitchen to do the dishes, or stand in the hall and ask me a bunch of questions.
