what are you doing right now?

[countrygirl2]

Hubs. DIL, little guy, and me went for a drive today. Son and DD stayed at the house today, neither wanted to go. We all went out for lunch at a Mexican restaurant and to an antique store and driving around looking at houses.  Of course, any I had bookmarked were sold. We drove to Tenino, Tumwater the other side of Black Lake and areas like that, not to far.

It did give us an idea of the area. Nothing new listed right now and we aren't ready to buy anyway.  It was a rainy day but still pleasant.

Have everything confirmed, all packed except for one suitcase to put our jams and things in.

I am very happy because tomorrow more than a thousand local area Mexican free-tail bats who were rescued during our Christmas freeze will be released. Dedicated rehabbers picked up the cold-stunned bats and provided heat, food, and IV liquids to bring them back to health.

In other news, Mister and I have come to the conclusion that his Dad is very spoiled. He really doesn’t seem to like to have to think. Mister has been trying to keep him on track with taking his medicine, and on time. A couple days ago, his Dad told him that his Mom use to just bring him his medicine when it was time for him to take it. Mister was like “ummmmm, no sir. I set everything out for you, you can at least go get it yourself and take it”.

I’m thinking that maybe because his Mom has had health issues for so long and was limited in what she could do physically, she became the brains of the operation and her job was to keep him on track with everything that needed to be done. Or maybe that’s just how they operated anyway, for whatever reason. When he visits her at the hospital, she still reminds him to do this and that each time, even though he doesn’t necessarily do any of the things she reminds him about. She’s not home to know whether he does it or not, so I guess it’s whatever in his mind.

And I could very well be wrong about everything I said in that last paragraph, I just really don’t know. And neither does Mister. But it’s become very clear that he doesn’t even want to think about even simple things and prefers for Mister to just tell him what to do when he needs to do it. Not that he always does that either. He will literally ask Mister what time it is, instead of looking at his phone in his lap to see what time it is. If Mister says “Daddy look at your phone and tell me what time it is”, he’ll look at his phone and tell Mister what time it is. 

I think part of what we are dealing with is just laziness, mentally and physically. Not all of it, but some of it. And I think that part of it comes from Mister’s Mom not being around to think for him and keep him on track.

I’m not knocking him or Mister’s Mom, just trying to really understand what Mister and I are dealing with with his Dad. Although I did tell Mister a couple days ago when we were talking about it, that if a lot of this is just who his Dad has always been because his Mom handled all the thinking for him, I can’t imagine being married to someone like that for almost 50 years. We would’ve BEEN divorced, if I didn’t smother him with a pillow while he was sleeping. 

He and his Dad keep saying how she is a good woman, and she is. But I don’t know about doing all that making a woman a “good woman”. But that’s just me, with all my ignorance about relationships and being married to someone for decades.

Yesterday when he and Mister got back from visiting Mom, when he came inside, Dad was like “Whew! I’m tired!” I asked from what and he said from cleaning up that room this morning. Sir, the room is still a mess and there is still just a path on the floor from the door to the bed, so say what?! I didn’t actually say any of that out loud lol.

Mister’s Dad is not nearly as problematic as my Mom, thank GOD, but he’s not exactly easy to deal with either.

I don't know the answer to this. Back when I had it, even though I didn't have any symptoms, I stayed home for 2 weeks. That was hard!
Maybe ask the family what their thoughts are on the subject?

I still remain more cautious when it comes to COVID than most people, so consider that when I share my opinion.

If I were you, and I wanted to go, I would share the situation and the latest information I have with the host (including negative test results if you have them by then) and ask them how they felt about us coming. I would try to make it clear that if, given the information I provided, they preferred we didn’t come, there would absolutely not be any hard feelings or offense taken on my end. 

Since COVID seems to have little rhyme or reason and can make even people with the vaccines terribly ill (or worse), even though the vaccines make that less likely, I give people I know and socialize with, the same courtesies I’d like them to give me, if there is a known potential for exposure. 

Visiting with people I know is different from hanging out in public places with random strangers imo. If I go out in public, I am taking the risk that somebody might be there knowing they have COVID. Being willing to take that risk is on me. But, hanging out with people I know is different, I feel like I have a responsibility to be upfront with them if I have a situation.

But that’s just me, with my admission that I am still kind of weird about COVID.

Agreed.
If I've given them the complete information upfront and they chose to have me still come over, I would not feel the same amount of responsibility, or guilt, if their family then became I'll. That would then be on them. Their choice. And their risk.

[taz157]

DH is upstairs in our room and I just put DD2 to bed (and she’s fighting it). DD1 was downstairs in the room with the nicer TV and also playing a game with a friend of hers online. I asked if she was watching tv or talking with friend/playing the game. The answer was talking with friend/playing the game so I kicked her out and she went upstairs to the loft. Now I can watch what I want! No clue on what yet but still!

[jerseygirl]

DIL showed up Christmas Day in a mask, she had a sore throat and had visited her mom outside, mom had Covid
She tested negative but next day positive
Jerseyguy is high risk had been in hospital 2 weeks for pneumonia and Covid and still on oxygen and very slowly recovering
Grandson’s wife is 3 months pregnant
ODS wife is in very precarious health with significant pulmonary and cardiac problems

So DIL exposed all of these with sore throat even though she wore a mask we all ate at same table , 14 of us breathing in the house
I’m annoyed and surprised she came
So far no one else has gotten Covid but it’s a worry

[flamingo]

Well, so much for my grand hope that DH was going to get his phone taken care of by himself today. What an f-ing nightmare. In theory it should have been easy. In practice… it was the opposite. Part of the issue is that his phone was so, SO, old that it was dead dead dead today. But another part of the issue was a corrupt backup that no one realized/figured out. And everywhere wants you to have an appt before they’ll help (apple, Verizon). He had an appt at apple, but got sent to Verizon, then apple couldn’t help him again til tomorrow. 

anyway. I fixed it. Took all afternoon, but he’s set up and has a functioning phone. He’s only missing a few contacts, but we’ll get that figured out as we go. But, whew, not quite the last day of vacation relaxing afternoon I had planned!

Maybe because she has had limited physical abilities, she took over the mental stuff, so she felt like she had worth, or value, in the relationship. Perhaps it didn't matter to her, if he actually the things she mentioned, as long as she brought them up?

That would make me crazy. But I've known people who have lived that way, all their lives.

I definitely get it and that’s why we gave my parents the decision for Christmas Day. I asked DH about what his friend said, he hadn’t even discussed it with him yet and figured we wouldn’t be going over. 🤯🤯🤯

He was also asking me if how many negative Covid tests aren’t you contagious and I told him that I didn’t know. I really wanted to say: Look it up yourself since you want to know so much instead of playing the stupid games on your phone, but I refrained. FWIW, I’m pretty ornery tonight so probably not the right thing to say. Granted, when I’m trying ask him how he’s feeling, I get the smart aleck response of “with my figures”. Not what I wanted to hear but at least knew he had a sense of humor.

I would be worried too, and probably upset. 

I don’t go around my Aunt or my Mom when I have reason to believe I’ve been exposed to COVID. My Mom has several serious health conditions and my Aunt is a breast cancer survivor who has heart issues now.

Last year, my cousins had a birthday celebration for my uncle and I really wanted to go because I miss being around my family like that, but I have regularly had coworkers testing positive with COVID since the beginning of the pandemic, and some of them have died, so I was still afraid to be around my Aunt.

I hope and pray no one in your family gets sick.

I would be p*ssed.  If you have a sore throat you should not be going out visiting people, especially vulnerable people.  Covid is still killing people every day.

Carrot has one more set of grands this weekend, but that one will be with his dad.  I can avoid all people until Sunday when I'm hosting a football party/poker game, which means I'll have to actually do some house cleaning this week.

As I posted on Christmas Day, 3 of my household tested positive for Covid and I’m assuming the 4th member is too. We haven’t retested yet to see if we are negative. No one has a fever but basically cold symptoms now. We’ve been staying home this whole time.

On New Year’s Eve, we are supposed to go to DH’s best friend’s house. Assuming we have negative Covid tests before we go, is that still reasonable or should we still stay home?

FWIW, DH and his best friend have been friends since just before I knew DH so 24 years. We have spent many New Year’s together and always have a great time! Best friend has a wife and 2 DDs (14.5 and 10.5). My DDs get along with their DDs.

When I had it last month I waited until I had two negative tests 48 hours apart to declare myself free to roam about. I isolated from husband in my office (glad I never found a new home for the couch in there!) and masked whenever I left that room. Once I got that first negative test I immediately asked if he was okay with me joining him in the living room; second negative test and my mom was happy I'd be able to make Thanksgiving.

Husband and I both have been cautious with Covid, so how I ended up with it and he didn't really burns me up. I lost my avoidance streak and his is still going, and there is nothing worse than losing a competition with your spouse, lol.

My DH got covid from my son. They were close together for about 15 minutes-when DH took DS to be swabbed.

I didn't get covid from DH. I likely got it from an indoor play area that I took the missy to. The missy also got covid.

The peanut hasn't gotten covid, still. But. she's been the sickest out of all of us this fall.

He won't take it to school because it's completely impractical and expensive to have a car there.  He already has a car now, but it's a 97 with 220K miles and my dad is replacing his 2007 with 90K miles and thinks DS needs something better.

I wonder how late I'll sleep in today. I woke up on the couch at 2, almost on the nose. LD went out, Punk rolled her eyes at me so I left her on the couch (she's a camel, she will be fine) and came up to bed. I'm fading again already, which is great. sleep well, kids!

My OTHER BFF is losing her mind because her grandson was admitted to the Allan Memorial Institute, a psychiatric hospital. He had a severe psychotic break, out of the blue. He's 19. He's also suicidal.

My BFF broke her back today playing pickleball. She's at the Verdun General Hospital with fractured vertebrae.

My OTHER BFF is losing her mind because her grandson was admitted to the Allan Memorial Institute, a psychiatric hospital. He had a severe psychotic break, out of the blue. He's 19. He's also suicidal.

This is some holiday!

I'm sorry.
Is your other BFF still in the hospital? The one with the charming boyfriend?
