Josephine's mom says she still has more chemotherapy scheduled. She's spent a lot of time in the hospital the last 8 months. It's good to see her on her feet at home for the time being. This is a photo from 2 months ago of her wearing the pink wig we bought her. It's her favorite wig:

Heather: Have a great picnic. We treated ourselves to afternoon tea yesterday.
@SuziQ113 Definitely not boring. I taught Commerce in my youth, back in the day, and supply and demand was always a big factor in economical productivity.
Karen: 💕💖💕 Josephine. She looks so happy to be home.
(((Hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 as required to my sisters in arms against the 🦠

Lots of hours of work scheduled this weekend! (I did it to myself.) I managed through a 9-hour shift yesterday, and 10 hours are scheduled for today & tomorrow. 29 hours in 3 days! I won't be signing up for such long shifts in the future. It's much more do-able than the brick & mortar job, but it's still too many hours sitting sitting sitting. I can take short breaks, and the treadmill is right outside the office door, so I can hop on there for 5 minutes to get my blood flowing again if I need to.
Happy Saturday!

Thank you for the new thread and inspiring words Barbie
I will be checking in, but am about to enter into a learning phase. My MIL passed yesterday morning. My husband and I spent quite a bit of time with her on Thursday. We are still working at this time. It is therapeutic for us all. Tomorrow we have to go to funeral home. Husband has to sign papers and make a few decisions. Pat had finalized things s couple of months ago before any of us knew how serious her illness was.
Thank you all for your support! I know if I have questions, concerns, or just need a shoulder that y'all are here for me.
Have a blessed day!
❤

The picnic was a hoot!
We stayed inside the house and opened up the French windows.
They brought all their own food etc and we gave Max his birthday present, a robot dog, early. They stayed about an hour and we chatted away happily. Must do it again sometime. I found out that my son is billing for 60% of his salary and they have a mortgage holiday for three months. It's OK, but he needs pubs, restaurants and bars to open up again. That will be a while.
This is the wisteria in the front garden. It belongs to next door, but we reap the benefit. It hangs over our trash cans.

Welcome New comers
MIL- Sorry for your loss big air hugs 🤗
Karen- She looks so cute in her wig let’s hope this is the last of her Chemos . My Mom always said she felt more in her heart for the kids getting chemo than herself because their so small. Mom didn’t have big words but she had a big heart.

Brandin Hicks of Austin Tx here 25yes old wouldn’t social distance pushed an older cop in the water ! Almost hit his head on the wood dock. Already rowdy drinking young crowd issues hope they don’t have to shut down all their parks again. Yes the Hick was arrested. https://www.kvue.com/article/news/crime/lake-austin-ranger-pushed-into-water-suspect-arrested-viral-video/269-a1de4da3-be68-4c28-8d05-e841458d38554 -
Kylia - many hugs and sympathies. So glad you and your DH got to spend some time with your MIL on Thursday. What a blessing she'd already taken care of some things.
SuziQ - regarding those ill at the chicken processing plant: I'd bet several of them are family members living in the same household. The researcher part of me would love to know how much "herd immunity" has taken place at the plant. There have been no new cases and they've been working with the local health department for several weeks. Plus, it's a chilly environment, continually sanitized. The general public can't live like that of course, but I'd be happy if our house was at a constant chilly temperature. Menopause anyone?
Rebecca- I watched that autopsy YouTube yesterday - very interesting! Surprised it didn't make me queasy, but I guess I've watched enough "Silent Witness" that seeing body parts on a scale doesn't bother me. I need to check my last blood test results to see if my liver enzymes were elevated.
Karen in VA - so happy your job is working out! Do you have to fight the urge to go wash your hands after speaking with each patient?
Janetr - congrats on the new little one. Love your new hairstyle by the way!
Got stocked on hamburger yesterday - the rancher next door raises beef and it's grass fed. He sells halves and quarters and always processes a cow for burger, selling it a minimum of 12# in 1 1/2 lb packages. We don't eat a lot of beef but I like to make a meatloaf now and then. I need to clean out that freezer before blueberries ripen this summer.
OK, gotta get going. Early morning shopping today. Make it a good day, ladies!

Kylia, so sorry for your loss.1

Heather ~ I love the wisteria hanging over the fence but must tell you if it starts creeping into your yard, it will take over. My MnL planted some at the back of our house and it eventually took over and killed all the trees behind us.
Karen ~ Those are long work hours. Take care.
Michele ~ If Denise forgets to Skype, perhaps you could call her and remind her.
Beautiful day here! The Blue Angels are flying over around 1:35 and I hope I can see them. I am getting really tired of being inside but the Gov said us elderly should do so until late May and early June.

Lanette- I’m surprised it even spread at the plants they keep it freezer temp y sanitized all over .I doubt it was caught at work in the plants itself. Maybe some workers shared a vehicle to get to work or got it in town shopping 🛒 or even in the break rooms.
My Dad worked for Tyson back in the day he was always bundled up even a scarf in the freezer area..even the slaughter areas cold 🥶 sanitized regularly every so many minutes. My Dad drove the forklift inside the freezers everyone wore mouth coverings to gloves because of the cold he washed daily they all did .

Carol,wisteria is not so invasive in milder climates like where Heather lives. It is an expensive and beloved plant. A few years ago I read a book that was set in Georgia and was amazed when they talked about how invasive wisteria is. Climate can make a big difference.
One of my favorite plants in my house in Northern California was geraniums. They thrived and it was easy to snap off of piece of a plant, stick it in the ground, and soon have a new plant that would last for years. When I moved to NW Washington I was amazed to find out that they were annuals unless you had them in pots and could move them indoors during the winter.
Michele, When Jake's daughter's kids were young, she was always promising to Skype and she was a lot like Denise and forgot most of the time.

Kylia - I'm so sorry for your loss, and your husband's.2

Barbie ~ Thanks! I didn't know that. It is beautiful when it is blooming. It completely invaded the neighbors yard behind us and I know they hate having to deal with it.

morning ladies~
I am on my second cup of tea... and have some cleaning to do, so I can get outside and get the leaves off my patio..and see if I can get my chair hanger together to get outside...3 -
Kylia: So, so sorry. What a blessing that you were able to spend time with her before she passed. How thoughtful of her to have plans in place. I will pray for your family in the weeks ahead.1
