good morning
I may have been exposed to COVID yesterday and so at my parents' urging I
am self isolating. I can't go to work for a week, I can't see my sister who is visiting
from Europe. I will get a covid test on Wednesday or Thursday. Not
being able to go to work is really hard. The holidays require more
money and it looks as though the presents from me this year will be tiny
or non existant. I am waiting to hear back from my work's nurses to hear what
they recommend. So, it's an unexpected day here. I am showered, dressed,
had breakfast and can't go get a coffee, can't go anywhere..blue is crying lol. Wild and weird.

Big squishy hug sweetie.... The most important thing is your health.... You can always make your family members a special card and things like that are valued forever
Sorry that Blue is acting out.... Saucy boy.... Is it still just attention?... Is he having any health problems do you think?.... Another hug and a blessing...xo
Even in isolation, you can take a walk with Blue. Even in isolation, you can get a coffee. The key is to be diligent with your transactions, your motions, and your distance.
Best wishes with the process of isolation.
Blue senses your feelings, empathy included.
Thanks Jan and Mid!
Personally, I like homemade gifts better than high dollar gifts. I feel like I am getting a piece of a beloved heart instead of a prefab wish.
Any potential for using the time to create works of heart for Christmas? Just wondering. . .
I agree with Mid. Wearing a mask, being 6' to 10' away from people will keep them safe. I'm so sorry to read you will not see your sister 'in person' could you skype with her while she is here? Not the same :( however your family will be included too. As for not going to work, being alone is not easy, loosing your routine is not easy so I feel for you, this is why getting out is important. Sorry Blue is being Cheeky, ...I think all kitties are....my word for Chachi when she goes nuts is she is doing the Elephant Prance cause she is So Loud when running crazy around the house~ Take Good Care of you Mark!!
Thanks Arfie thanks Mary Louise. It will all work out.
This time will be good practice for being flexible and creating new routine new structure for myself. Everyone’s designing their lives for themselves. Maybe making art will be a good way to engage and create. Thanks Arfie, thanks Mary Louise!
I know I've always got to be flexible and problem solve. plans always change and I'm always going to want stuff - little stuff and big stuff that I didn't anticipate. I can manage my want for big stuff a little better than little stuff. It's all good.
Sounds like the perfect time to make art gifts! You are practicing kindness right now, to yourself and others. Hugs Marky
Thanks Nikki!
