Completely understand. I literally had a meltdown yesterday and this morning. I am pulling back from a lot of things. I said to someone this morning, I am not depressed just really shaky and out of sorts. Feel free to escape here. If these good people tolerate me, anyone visiting is a good time. :hugs:

We don't really go out so I almost never wear a mask. The only times I've worn one is when packages get delivered or when we had workmen in the house, and then it was only for a few minutes when they came into the room. I bring one with me in the car when we go on drives and I wore it the other day when we stopped at a fruit stand to buy some tomatoes. We never go to stores. We get everything delivered.

That is a good thought.

I do feel like my real life is on hold. The first month of the lockdown I burned myself on a pan. Now I have a scar on my arm that looks like the Nike symbol. I think it will remind me of this time of my life.

I have been afraid to put this in print but I'm worried that DH and I will never have a normal life together again. I don't know how much time he has left. Since his heart attack, his life expectancy hasn't been very good, so it scares me that we may have already gone on our last vacation together. It's August. 2 years ago in August he had his heart attack. 1 year ago in August I had my accident in which I broke 2 bones and had to have surgery. I'm scared something will happen this August too.

That sounds like a great idea! When we lived in the Middle East, we used to keep our water bottles in the freezer. When we took them out with us, they had usually melted enough to drink but the water was still cold.

I understand what you are saying about the future. DH is ten years older than I am, and I've thought about this as well. Was the Scotland trip in October and Hawaii last December the end of this? I know this is one reason I decided we should go to CO to see his daughter, and she's going through some tough times. Plus I knew we'd be outdoors a lot. But a few days before we left, I really second guessed my decision for the trip. I know we won't fly anywhere again any time soon. Too risky for both of us. We'll just hang in there and hope for the best!

Oh no, a bummer to hear you have a burn mark/scar on your arm :sad:. Maybe it will be a good reminder later on how strong, resourceful and resilient you were during the pandemic.

I am sorry you are feeling stressed about this August due to what happened in the last couple of years. Please have faith that nothing eventful/negative will happen this August and stay positive/focused on all the good things you are doing to ensure you and your DH are staying health/safe. I know you have been very vigilant about the situation from the beginning. It will be ok and hopefully we can all resume a new normal life sometime next year. (I am not trying to minimize your worry because I relate to it too in regards to my folks so I can definitely understand the worry about the future). Take Care :smile:.

The last two times I went to Lowe’s garden center outside it was super hot and you have to wear a mask so that makes shopping fast

At work i wear a mask all day along with a shield or goggles. At least im in a/c but it sucks. It gets hot and constantly dealing with fogging and now I’m breaking out around my chin/mouth, behind ears hurting from elastic on mask.

Oh no Im sorry to hear about your last two Augusts. Hopefully this one will break the curse and you will have no health issues. Such a difficult time right now with everything going on, esp. if you already have underlining health issues. Well we are here for you. Good thing we can lighten the mood and talk handbags, hot island men (and not hots), and House’s new purse additions. :smile:

Edit: i didnt meant to send these responses together. I think it saved what I started last night. That’s annoying.

I know it's got to be tough wearing all of that. When DH and I flew to Denver, we wore those N95 masks, and that fit is different. We wore them for about 8 hours, and our ears hurt! That was just one day and not even close to what you're doing. I hope you can find a solution for the rash.

That was so silly of me to not buy it wasn’t it LOL I don’t know what I was thinking, it’s a bag I had definitely been eyeing since it’s release. But thanks for the info! It’s funny because I feel like just yesterday I looked at Macy’s online for it and didn’t see it but now I do. I swear they only had chalk and black! But that’s good because I can watch them for a price drop. There’s still hope!

I may also text my SA maybe she could find it for me :smile:

Sounds good! Hope you find one.

So my mom was admitted again to the hospital this weekend. She just got home last night. Apparently she ate something she shouldn't have and started nonstop vomiting and having diarrhea and had to be taken to the hospital. I hope this taught her a lesson to take care of herself because she listens to no one. I am terrified she's gonna end up getting the virus from her PREVENTABLE visits and be gone in a matter of two weeks. :sad:
Anyone else have parents who is being unnecessarily difficult during this madness?

My mom will be 70 this year and she just lost her brother. I know it's one of the things weighing on me that my time is growing short with her. She told me she is fighting with her credit card company because she bought "keto" pills off of a pop up ad for what was supposed to be $10 and they charged her a lot more.

To say I was beyond mad at her stupidity was an understatement. I could care less about the money but you're really going to take pills from goodness knows who with whatever in them? I don't think she took any but my gray hair has gotten more voluminous. You know what to do to get yourself healthy. You have all the time and money in the world to do it. It's aggravating when they just want to be happy and who can deny them that? At least she asked me who my yoga girl is on YouTube so here's hoping she's trying that instead.

I hope your mom gets to feeling better soon and answers the wakeup call. :hugs::hbeat: Parents!
