Hey Leo, I agree with your hope for a list of effective vaccines. Also a hope for better treatment of fibro. I hope you have a good day today.
I gor next to no sleep so now I jave a headache, am nauseous and just feel horrible.
Sending love to Leo, Fantod, and Twin.

Leo a year from now i pray my dad is in remission and i am married. We set a new wedding date, april 24 2021. We want dad healthy and strong and done with chemo to walk me down the aisle.

I was up around midnight with the storm to calm down abby matt laid with us to calm he down, once we both fell asleep he got up. Sometime last night he made a low carb low calorie coffee cake because a lady is bringing donations for dads cancer bills around 1130 or so and we invited her to come in for coffee. She bought a puppy 10 months ago from my parents. We have her coming here to keep germs from dad. My head is doing better but was up 530 with my back cramping and screaming so bad and my legs are killing me. Raining out again. Fibro in full flare the past week since they had me off motrin for a week im back on but takes time. I am exhausted feeling and cancelled todays PT main reason because we didnt know when they were bringing the donations and because im just drained. My anxiety is sky high too right now. alot of unknown with dad.

Morning Leo, my hopes are pretty much the same as yours. And sadly so is the weather :( I ran early this morning before work and it was already gross. And I was talking to my dad yesterday and I mentioned running early and he was all concerned about me running in the humidity with my asthma. Which is fair, but it's been humid for like a month and I'm running less now than the last couple summers and I'm pretty acclimated to it, and I find it odd that he cares about that but not about me getting covid. Also not surprising. Anyway, I agree that a group hug is in order (((group hug)))

I'm so tired... I had to take a nap yesterday afternoon but it was like 3:00 by the time I got home, walked Miki and ate lunch. I ended up stopping at this garden center near my house that I've been meaning to check out, they actually had a lot of cool stuff, most of it I've never heard of. I got one plant and they were giving annuals away for free so I got one of those too. Then I got home and thought "oh shit, I have to plant these now ". I didn't do it right away because I was still feeling stressed about my doctors appointment (which was basically "well you don't have covid and you're already doing everything you should be, I'll run some labs if you want but you basically have to ride it out") and it was mid day so I waited till the evening when it was marginally cooler. It ended up with me digging up my irises because they got big enough to kill one plant and almost kill another, then I moved a couple things around, mainly to fill empty space and move one plant into a shadier spot. I was so tired by the end of the night and then some idiot was setting off fireworks and I had trouble falling asleep. Thankfully the phone isn't too busy today, I haven't worked with the hospital manager in months so we're catching up. And I guess she talked to my Wednesday coworker about actually working all day instead of running out the door the second she's able-she said the paycheck protection loan covered us for 10 weeks and has run out, and we're busy enough to need our normal staff. I guess she was not happy about it (she was surprised it had run out because she's the "only one with young kids"-which isn't true, someone has a kid who's younger than hers, and it's not only for people with kids-and thought we could just renew it?) but now she's only going to be paid for hours she actually works. So that's incentive to actually stay. And the manager has a lot of the same frustrations as I do, so it's not like I'm the only one seeing this stuff. Anyway...this has taken forever to write, I need to go get stuff done. Hugs to everyone and sorry if I missed anyone

Hey Ladies!!!


Leo, have you seen the Squirrel Ninja Warrior Obstacle course yet? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hFZFjoX2cGg. You will love it. We love this guy and The BackYard Scientist (both on youtube).

Hey Maynard! I'm sorry the wakies stole your good nights rest and are now dealing with a headache. Ive been sporting the stress/tension headaches lately as we are finally getting our pool in. Lots leading up to it and well...I haven't taken time to rest for this flare I'm still in.

I hope you can find relief soon.

Angela, I hope all goes well for your dad and your new wedding date!

Miki, I really wish people wouldn't fire off fireworks on days other than the 4th! Glad your co-worker was talked to also!


We're on day 2 of our pool install! By tonight we should have it up. Even though I'm not doing all the manual labor, I'm running around setting up food/water tables for the workers here. IT's hot!!!

But I gotta run. Talk to you all soon and big {{{{{{{{{{{HUGS}}}}}}}}}}}} to all!

Hi Everyone

Finally we had rain , a lot of rain. Our temps are not in the 90s today FINALLY , but the humidity is awful.

I had an appointment with my medical Dr today to get refills on 2 meds. He also is going to send in a script for a nasal spray to use in addition to the Flonase for allergies. My allergies have been really bad for about 3 weeks and I am not able to take antihistamines because I dont tolerate them - they make me speed awful and I have tried all of them that dont have dyes in them.

I washed my CPAP tubing etc and thinking about pre making meatloaf to put in the oven tonight, then I just have to make a salad while it is in the oven. Also, I need a serious nap.

Miki - I have heard of people who have had covid 19 that later get symptoms like fatigue and sometimes more. Your Dr sounds like an idiot , of course you need blood work completed

I agree with your hopes for the future Leo. I will add a different President . Also, I would like all of my concussions issues to be gone and to be able to go to the family cottage on Lake Michigan next summer. This is the second year I have not been able to go there because of the concussions and I am very sad about that.
