“Sheltering in Place” with Hermès

@Egel @crisbac @cocomlle @Perja :
Dank farrick - you made my day. Happy to have some SW folks on this thread. And yes...


@diane278 @loh @bagnut1 @Dextersmom : Good food for thought. As for my resolutions, they’ve pretty much been the same every year - to maintain good physical and mental health. Karma tends to keep me in check most of the time.

To be grateful and kind is what I remind myself when I go for my runs lately. I know as simple as it sounds, I admit that sometimes I'm not so great at being either. So this will join my running list of resolutions I have each year which always includes to drink more water.

I have an app called plant nanny. It look's like it was made for 5 year olds, but it's working. The app also gives me a reminder when to drink water. Without that reminder I'd never got a healthy amount of water per day.

I am so very sorry to hear this. My prayers are with you and your family .❤️

Dear everyone,
I am at the denying stage. My mental is against the fact that my Husband has gone forever.
I want to cry out loud but I can't.
I want to clean up the house but my kids keep everything nice and neat.
I want to iron his clothes but his clothes are done a few days ago.
I am sitting in my kitchen and usually, at this time my kitchen will have some sense of baked goods- now is empty. I am having a bottle of Ensure-the ernegy drink- which is my meal of a day, every day so far.
I am still wearing our wedding ring and looking at his wedding ring in my thump. Again no tear but I can hear my heart shattered into many pieces.
I am wearing the Juste Un Clou that was the last set of jewelry that he bought for me a week before he died. He has never bought any set for me before. Normally I would have a ring, then later earing, then if I was insisted that I needed a whole set then he would come in pick up a bracelet or bangle to match the set. So he did the set at this time for me just like he knew he would not be able to buy later.
The autopsy result came in He was somehow suffocated and Covid got him at that time. So there were no heart problems no worry that my kids would get it but my mind still has a big question mark why he got suffocated? Maybe God is the only one to know the real answer.
I have lost a few lbs finally. My hair is getting more grey than ever.
Yesterday I brought his clothes to the funeral home and forgot to bring him a Rosary. I drove 2hour and 30 mins back and forth and my mind was empty, my youngest was a quiet sleeper for once. I got the road all to myself.
Today is cloudy...I decided to keep his ring as a necklace pendant and to keep him close to my heart. But his rings plus mine are getting heavy....

I thank you, everyone, from the bottom of my heart.
My DH has passed away last week suddenly during his sleep due to "the complication of Covid." We are still waiting for the autopsy result so the real cause of his death now isn't clear. According to his Medical record, he had a healthy clean record.
He had contracted to Covid via his employees who had their ThanksGiving together with three different families. They were the Covid's source, but we did not know until a week later...
Our family also got Covid but we had a very mild cough ( my youngest) a light headache (my second son and I) my daughter is shown no illness at all but also positive). Thank God we are recovering and have quarantine ourselves until tomorrow. We are passing the 10 days period since we had symptoms and our Dr just confirmed that we are all clear. My DH funeral date is set for next week.
I believed that His spirit is still around me. Everytime I call him or miss him he had his way to answered me. Many stories to shares but later.
I wish everyone to have a beautiful Christmas Eve.

I am so, so sorry for your loss. I am not sure what to say to express my sympathy.

I woke up early, made some coffee and toasted & buttered a bagel. I think I need to set some goals for 2021....now I just need to figure out what those goals will be. As I’ve never been a “New Years resolution” person, I’m not sure where to begin.....

So here's your twin-my mother just sent me a picture of how she plans having her coffee every morning, in her new Christmas present from me ( and my son). As to resolutions? Not me AT ALL, but, as my mother at almost 91 has, for all intents and purposes, been locked in her house all by herself for 9 months, and has NEVER once whined or complained....well, it wouldn't be a bad idea for me to resolve to be more like that. ( and yes, she makes the milk froth every morning ) Happy and safe New Years to all.

That looks divine. It would do me some good also to take cues from your mother's playbook. An inspiration indeed.

Happy New Year!!

She clearly knows coffee is best in Passifolia china but she’s way ahead of me with the froth she’s my role model....

Dear everyone,
Once again, I am very thankful for all the endless love everyone has given here. Although we have never met in person, it warm my heart that everyone’s love is a wonderful gift I am receiving during this hardest time of my life. Thank you for all. I wish everyone to have a beautiful New Year with their loved ones.
I’m slowly transitioning back into my normal routine.
I made breakfast for us, as usual, this morning and that made me feel normal again.
