Not as agitated

So it's been a few days since my last journal. The voting is done, thankfully. We shall know the results of that come tomorrow. Honestly, I think it ridiculous that it even happened the way it happened. Since our county isn't doing testing, we may never know what the true impact will be of this, for our county anyway. the state is over 3000 now. I try not to check that too often either. It's too depressing. 

Work..... well every division in 3M will be furloughing employees that are not in the manufacturing of essential products (ie respiratory, sanitizer, wound care facilities) my group will NOT be off, as we are 'essential'.. VP access granted. Me personally, I test the N95 respirators on human test subjects. I've been in the lab for 12 years and 3M for 23 and I've NEVER seen it like this. in that time, I remember getting ONE day off because the gov of MN called it an emergency, so we got to stay home and got paid. 

Speaking of weather, we have a winter weather warning from Sunday am through Monday am....... 6-12" of SNOW... yeah. well, at least it will be melting soon. Bob was out and aerated and raked the yard with the mower today. He was out there for 4 hours. I think mostly to hide...... ha yeah I've been in a bit of a funk lately..... crabby, pissy, cryish, and depressed. I mean...... yeah there's been a LOT going on ..... and that's ok, he can hide..... just glad I know he's safe. 

Tyler is doing better! his fever has broken, which leads me to believe that his medication for MRSA has kicked in and doing its job. I am overjoyed that I talk to him every single day. He has come to discover video chat, yeah I'm NOT a fan of that. So yesterday when he video chatted, I turned my camera to the 'room' side..... ha I kept pointing it at the sleeping cats. He said, I have some good news and some bad news....... he said my wound continues to make progress (the most it has in a YEAR) I was elated!!!! so I asked so what's the bad news Tyler............ he has developed ANOTHER wound........ on his coccyx. dammit dammit dammit. We sent Tyler some respirators for his journey days to the doctor. He should get them on Monday. 

There is nothing they can really do at this point put to keep an eye on things. 

thank you for comments on my last rant of a post, I TRY not to have many posts like that, but I think I was just broken that particular day. I've been sleeping a lot and was just ......... blah. better days are ahead, they have to be.

I think we are all in a place that is unsettling. with appointments, vacations, all 'non-essential' things being cancelled, and that's HARD, isn't it? so so hard. 

I cut my bangs the other day. ha, I needed my stylist before all this started, I'm really going to need her after!!! Bangs look good well good enough haha (they were down to my chin!!!) and the weight gain...... good lort, I'm going to have to name it my cova roll..... sheesh. y'all maybe know what I'm talking about. 

we're all in this together....... can't tell you how that's getting worn out..... I cringe when I hear it now. or it is what it is...... HATE that even more. My brother Jim is good for that one..... drives me bonkers. He even had my mom saying it. I barked at her. haha she hasn't said it since. 

As I sit here there is a set of mourning doves on the deck railing, they showed up last summer and are back again this year. (they picked the right house) The kitties really enjoy watching them. they're pretty quiet and are entertaining for us all. there must be a nest nearby. they sit on the railing for a few hours a day, basking in the sun. 

love and prayers for all of us to get back to our normal.

Love and hugs
