baking friday :) Apple Cinnamon Cornbread Muffins :) health updates. <3

Hi angel friends :)

i have some updates to share here. i was going to post earlier but thought i'd gather my thoughts, and post an update journal this evening. We love you all, and you all are family to us ,always there for all of us over the years. As much as i would love to be posting a spirit soaring journal, about a super fun baking friday adventure, today's update is very different. There's Covid outbreak going on here. my sister Lisa and my mom, both have tested positive. Lisa's boyfriend also has covid. all 3 are showing symptoms. we believe the origin of this outbreak, may trail back to Franklin. Lisa stays up there, at her boyfriend's house. they recently had someone from New York visiting them, and that person came down with covid, and is severely ill. Lisa got tested, and it came back positive. when Lisa is here, she and my mom are always close, including sitting at the dining room table together. my mom feeling unwell, decided to get test, and her test came back positive. Lisa has gone to Franklin, and is quarantining there. Aj is unwell, and we heard that Hunter and Mikey, both aren't feeling well. it's very worrysome. we're all taking precautions, including wearing a mask here in home. Kayla's been staying in her addition. my mom's symptoms, come and go, fever, sore throat, aches, chills. it's very worrysome, and upsetting. we're all rallying around eachother. Holly and i are taking our vitamins, drinking healthy teas. We want to get those in home tests, like my mom took, to see if we are covid positive. we all are feeling a lot of emotions. health, and getting well, and keeping well is our full focus, through these times, and keeping strong, upbeat, positive :) Holly and i are staying mostly downstairs, and we have our AC air on, to keep some fresh air inside our downstairs here :)

we all have to keep positive through these times. we have lots of healthy teas, soups, and plenty of cleaning supplies :) Holly and i are using plastic spoons/forks, and have been looking up information online, about continuing to build up/keep our immunity level up, and keeping as safe as we can. we felt it would be best, and safest, to not have anyone over today, even with weather masks, it's most definitely best to wait this out, and to monitor our health, and to keep updated best we can, on how everyone is doing. We had planned a really nice, 14th anniversary baking friday adventure today, and feel upset about having to put those plans on hold. Holly and i did, bake some apple cinnamon cornbread muffins this afternoon, to keep the tradition going :) We wore our masks :) we're all emotionally processing this right now, but are gonna be ok, and making it through this, and will be able to make the most of each day, going forward, and will eventually be able to have the cookie monsters unite :) we want to keep to our daily routines,best we can :) it's scary, it really is, we have had scares in the past, with Kayla's false positive test, but this time it's positive, for my sister Lisa, mom, and we all have been around eachother. it's the uncertainty, that can be the most worrysome.

i will definitely write, in my daily journal, keeping everyone updated, we also want to make the most of the upcoming weekend. Holly and i plan to watch our show tonight, movies saturday, football, and TWD saturday. we're keeping a close eye best we can, if my mom needs any help.Holly has ordered some healthy teas on. i am gonna put a pause to my normal writings of cards, but can write letters here on my computer wordpad, to print at a later time. We're using hand sanitizer, sanitizer our computer keyboards, door knobs, we got paper towels. we got vicks vapo rub. all of this, has kinda just dropped on us all. it's upsetting, but we gotta keep positive, and forward. i want to continue to decorate my halloween town, taking pics, keeping to my writing routines of writing daily journal will help me, and you allgive all of us lots of strength and hope :) Our cat Tiger, is here with us :) She's such a sweet, and comforting cat :) she loves to watch shows/tv with us :) awww! :) we're all going to make it through this, an hour, and day at a time :)

Holly and i enjoyed baking the apple cinnamon cornbread muffins today :) i took a picture :) next week, we're very hopeful, that with good health, we'll all be able to resume our normal, baking friday's, including celebrating the 14th anniversary of baking friday :) we want everyone to do all they can, to ensure good health, and safety, in all times. Holly and i have been mostly home ,except for some family gatherings, we've been riding this out, and doing everything we can to keep healthy. we just want everyone to do all they can too, in our family, to ensure good health, and safety. we don't wany anyone here, letting their guard down, and not being safe. it's frustrating and upsetting this is going on. we can't control how everyone goes about their days, but i mentioned to Holly, she and i can be very careful, taking good care, and as long as we do, we'll continue to be ok :) we're gonna keep strong through this. We missed the kids today, in the kitchen. Holly and i are determined to have a movies day tomorrow, with some foods ,snacks, drinks, focusing on good health, football on sunday, TWD also :) we're gonna do some awesome decorating this weekend too :) my journals, will have updates on how we all are doing, but i also need to write about our daily routines ,nature, taking pics :) that balances me :)

-never lose hope :)
