DH is on his way to get an antibody infusion. He actually sounds much better since starting his meds. DD is going to the grocery for us so we can stay in. I have broken down and contacted the dr. It is evident I have it. I sound like a barking dog. DS who lives with us, also has a headache and congestion so he probably has it too. I feel pretty awful achy and feverish. Hard to sleep. Poor bumble does not understand why everybody is just sitting around and refusing to play with him. I will stay up with him while husband is at the infusion clinic, then I am going back to bed. Hope to hear from my dr. soon. Thank you all for the hugs, they are appreciated.
So sorry you are all going through this. Hope you all have thee mild version. (((Hugs)))1 -
So, dd has dropped off our groceries. She took some time to run in the yard with Bumble for which I was grateful. DH completed his antibody treatment and honestly seems worse for it. They said he could have some side effects. Unfortunately, now he wont be allowed to get the vaccine for 3 more months. I have not heard back from my dr yet, but I really didn't expect to until Monday. I am just so angry. We have been so cautious. Faithfully wearing our masks. No Thanksgiving, Christmas, or Valentines. Only seeing people via zoom or having phone calls. I am sure my husband picked it up during our last grocery shop. People here just won't follow the rules to protect others. I have gotten to the point, I just can't stand a lot of people any more. My mask protects them, but if they won't wear it or wear it correctly, they aren't protecting us. Our local grocery has just refused to enforce corporate policies even though I wrote to their headquarters. Daughter says I should turn them into the health dept. but I know it is a waste of time, they can't force these folks who won't comply. I am not terribly worried for myself, but my husband has had lung issues in the past and has some significant scar tissue, so I am always concerned with anything that could develop pneumonia for him. Sorry to be grumpy, but cold medicine has that effect on me. I just wish we had been able to get the vaccine instead of the virus.10

dandl1986 - So sorry you and your family are sick. My DB and his family had it. Caught it from step grandkids who went to visit their dad. All have come through it OK although DB spent over a week in ICU with covid-related pneumonia. He also got the plasma with antibodies while he was in hospital. Seemed to work for him. Wishing you all healing angels.
DD and I got a new LED light put up in the horse shelter to replace the fluorescent that was in there. Wow! you can see all the corners now. Also got the goat shed cleaned out and fresh bedding put down although they have a tendency to eat it instead of sleep on it. Silly things.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA4 -
Julie-your dentist experience is one of the strangest I have ever heard.
Vicki-congrats on new windows. I replaced mine a few years ago-main floor one year, basement a couple later.
Dee-sorry Covid has caught up with you. Hope you all recover quickly. I share your feelings with people and masks. At Lowes this am a nice woman a few years younger than me who was very helpful was excited that her mother is getting second dose. She said around 50% of the people who come into the store don't wear masks.
Lisa-glad you weren’t caught by the scam. Way too many of those these days.
Beth-prayers for you at this tragic time.
Allie-keep moving forward.
Heather-I would love to see my grandchildren even from a distance! Hope you enjoy your casual meet up.
Table together. Was missing one set of screws-Amazon gave me $100 credit. Paid $12 at lowes to get what I needed. After everything put together did discover small crack in veneer (non- structural. Also not noticeable unless you are looking at inside top). Put that side towards the window and said “Good enough.” It will not get high use, and I like the color and how it fits space. Did not think significant enough to try to repack and send back. Plus, with the $100 credit I didn’t pay much for it.
Lab reports posted but have not discussed with doctor. It looks like, perhaps, we may have found where nodual is that is causing rise in levels. No clue what they will do. Not stressing at this time.
Went on a nice walk at reservoir with friend today. It was so good to be outside. Of course, they are calling for 100% chance of rain tomorrow. Good day to continue work on bathroom floor. For excitement I have a new apple watch coming. Fitbit getting strange. Went with apple since it has fall detection. Will see what setup is like.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

It is so lovely that we have such a loving and supportive group here!❤4

The more I read, the more convinced I am that we made a good decision to go almost nowhere and to go indoors only in a setting where masks are required. We pick up our groceries curbside and prescriptions through the drive through. We order a few things online rather than go to a store.
No news here. Just dog walking, zoom meetings, watching TV, and dancing. When it gets a little warmer, I'll start outdoor chores.
Near the end of my day tomorrow, I'll post the new thread for March.

We met up on the beach at 8.30. Wonderful. DH built a huge pile of stones with them for the sea to wash away as the tide was coming in.
Feeling grateful.
Thinking of you, dear Beth
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Dee: It just goes to show how invidious COVID is. Also, you still need to be careful after the jab. You’re not 100% protected. You can still catch it and pass it on.
Ginny: - 😍 the furniture.
Heather: - Pleased to see you met up with family. We had similar luck on Friday on our coastal walk. DYD and one of her dogs. (The younger dog goes to doggie daycare on Fridays). We also met several other friends we hadn’t seen for a while, and caught up with their lives.
Getting ready to go out in the spring sunshine for a walk before lunch. Wee have family Skype at 4pm, and Dancing on Ice after dinner. Spare time is gardening while the weather holds fair.

If you look closely at my photo you can see the heads of two women swimmers.
Came back and did some rowing and cycling. 600 burnt this morning.
My DDIL told me that my son , aged 41, has just got a diagnosis of ADHD. He got the idea of being tested from an article in the Guardian by Adrian Chiles, about his late diagnosis. I actually sent the link to that article to my friend Gwendolen, as I suspect she has it, but didn’t think of my son! It doesn't surprise me though.
So now I have one son with ADHD, and one with borderline autism/aspergers.DH has one daughter with high functioning autism. All of them have found it quite useful and a relief to have a diagnosis.
Much love, Heather UK xxxxxxxx5 -
This is the podcast about ADHD/ADD

Yesterday did a walking DVD. The lady at the gym told me that the WellBeats machine (the virtual classes) was working but I couldn’t get it to work. Steve came here and we went to dinner at this steak place, I had salmon. Not really tracking while he’s here, just going to try to make decent decisions. Last night I made a loaf of sourdough bread and gave some to this lady here. She wanted me to have some clam chowder with her. I think she might be lonely so I had some. Didn’t have much of the bread...only ½ slice.
Did a pilates DVD today. Not sure what I’ll do tomorrow.
Dee – Honestly, I never heard of an antibody infusion. What is it? Please get better fast
Betsy WA – (((hugs))) you are going thru so much.
Barbara – I’m so sorry for you nephew.
Found out yesterday that our ceramics place will open March 1. Yeeaaaa….finally! But it’s (of course) only limited hours, you need to wear a mask, it looks like you have to make a reservation. But at least it’s open
Went in the pool yesterday. I’ll probably go in today while the guys go to Waffle House.
Heather – how wonderful that you can have that “accident”. Wish I’d at least hear from Denise, a picture of PJ would be nice. It’s been over a month since we’ve heard from her. Update: how wonderful for you!

Hi, 100+ posts here, of course, in last 2 days!, as usual!
@kymarai Kylia I can relate to the lazy wagon(slope). I caught a bad cold/allery Tuesday and was out of sorts. The need for rest rolls into pretext for laziness.binge watching is easy to justify and slip into these days with little outings allowed or advisable (depending on the place).
Did you get a washer -dryer combo or one of each? I have never had a washer dryer combo but they seem to be more common and more reasonably priced than some years back. It sounds like you and your present DH are complimentary. And that your oldest daughter is really on top of things. It seems to be par for the course (with exceptions of course) that one is not worried as much about repayment from members of one's own family (siblings, nieces, childen) but that the unrelated spouse is less easygoing with family loans or gifts.
@LisaInArkansas Lisa "This too shall pass" is the silly message on my screensaver on computer. I don't read it much, since I'm used to it, but that fact is helpful. About scams: good for you for doing due diligence to avoid the scam. it must be so easy to get roped in as people age and are less up on things, and lack energy for checking things out and following up on scams.
@dandl1986 I hope you guys get through this with minimal incidence. I think masks help a little but not massively. How many people wash hands before and after every thing they touch these days? (like a door or a protect or the atm machine) Many wash before or after but I don't see many doing both all the time, like was the case in early days of COVID. In my area there's an estimate that 30% of people have already gotten COVID. (many of whom don't know it or don't know if for sure). During the end of intense lockdown here, in May, a friend's whole family got it, most certainly from one of them getting it at the grocery store. Whereas the rate of transmission then was very low due to strict lockdown for 2 months.
@auntiebk BarbaraI'm very sorry about your nephew.Phone is least favorite, heart always jumps when it rings, but it’s really best for listening and there are several on my “to call” list who need listening to.
@ginnytez Ginny I hope your nodule and tests have a good prognostic and result.
for the dentist it was his assistant who asked me to stop by, so presumably she doesn't know I live so far away. if I were in the neighbourhood it would have been be more handy. this said, by mail, he first sent me a bill for the work already billed and paid in January, but zilch for the work done in February. that is shady. I wrote back asking about that and for the x-rays; I saw he wrote back yesterday but haven't read yet. it doesn't really matter. I hope I find someone good without too much trouble. It is not even the strangest dentist experience I have had and he didn't seem that bad. he was making a shortcut and charging as if he weren't. He has only good reviews on google maps which is rare and I really trusted the excellant dental hygienist who said he was "excellant" but I also trust my experience (and also many of you weighing in). The discouraging of questions for 2000+ of work and crowns that will be in my body for at least 10 years is a red flag for me regardless of 5 star recommendations.3
