Good for you, but I warn you that if you don't check the list and complete the tasks nothing will get done. Been there and done that! :'( :#

Every underlying condition that is controlled with the proper medication is good, but not a sure thing. Doctors have been finding blot clots (DVTs) in many individuals infected by the virus, even when they were on blood thinners. This is one of the reasons why I am concerned about my husband, besides his age. He is a Afib…

I have an excel workout sheet with 4 columns labeled: 1) Category (organizing, de-cluttering, cleaning, etc) 2) Chore (could be a room, a drawer, boxes, garage, cars, etc.) 3) Status: on going/started, pending, etc 4) Completion/Date: The date that the chore was all done (bolded and in red) It helps me to keep track of…

I hope that they bring their masks and their commitment to stay 6 feet away from each other too. https://robinschoenthaler.medium.com/should-i-hold-thanksgiving-during-covid-e3393ac842c2 https://www.cnn.com/interactive/2020/health/reopening-coronavirus/visiting_family_friends.html

@Smoda61, thank you this is a good one and kind of funny too. I don't have an Aunt Petunia (I am too old to have any aunts running around even in wheelchairs...) to deal with, but husband and I are staying home on Thanksgiving 2020. Hard choices but necessary. Thank you for posting. G.

I came across this article today and I thought that it was worth posting the link in here since many people are anxious and worried about what to do with family and friends during the holidays. Apart from personal choices and strong "holiday emotions," this well written article may provide same scientific information,…

Due to COVID-19, it just my husband and myself this year. The kids don't live near by, and we are not taking any guests in our house. We are not going to anybody's house either. We are too old to take unnecessary risks. I have no idea of what I am going to do, since cooking is not an attraction to me, but I may talk to my…

I don't live near a university or university hospitals; however, I didn't have a problem accessing treatments. Actually, it was encouraged by my health insurance and the HMO that manages it. Maybe because I am a Medicare recipient, or maybe because some cities, counties or states prioritize medical care in a different way.…

The same here and well said!

Yes, it is tough but it would be tougher not seeing them if they end up in the hospital, or worse, or if I or my husband end up in the hospital or worse. My husband and I haven't seen our children or grandchildren since Dec 2019 and we are not planning to get together with them this year for the holidays either. It will be…

Congrats everyone. It seems that you are all in the right track and that is wonderful. Keep up the good work and throw away or recycle/give away things that you not longer need. Maybe in some distant part of the world somebody can recycle shoes (@LovelyChar), even if they don't seem usable/wearable anymore. Perhaps the…

Nothing special. Just being mindful of my eating habits and portions, always trying to eat nutritious food with lots of vegetables, fruit for desert instead of pastry or sweets, cooking mostly at home (no much choice in the matter with COVID around...), very little alcohol, if any. Moving around as much as possible in the…

I respectfully ask this question. Why is that some seniors are reluctant to get the flu vaccine, keep distance, avoid seeing friends and family under the present COVID situation, wear masks, and expect that the normal holiday celebrations should take place like nothing is happening in the country or the world? I really…

Since most of us are waiting for an efficient and safe vaccine, I thought that this well written and straight forward letter would be of help to many of you. I hope that you can open the very long link, if not you can google the information. BREAKING NEWS: The Wall Street Journal reports that Pfizer could apply for…

The two fitness centers in my gated community are open. However, the procedures that they have put in place are very difficult to follow, and I don't really know how many people will go back to the gym with those requirements. This is large community. They are open at 15% capacity with reduced hours from 9AM to 5PM…

@KeriA Excellent job you have done de-cluttering your house and fixing your finances during the pandemic, and on top of that losing weight. You should feel proud of yourself. Keep up the good work! @Diatonic12 Good grief, my husband will not allow the cars to spend anytime whatsoever ever outside the garage. And we don't…

I am not logging very consistently or often either, after being in maintenance for 10 years. I started to take a logging break while on vacation and over the weekends or when eating out. I really don't remember what my longer streak was, but as today is less than 895 days. However, this number is deceiving since it implies…

Exercise doesn't cause me stress or anxiety, but NOT exercising does. When I was going to the gym, I got involved in the movements, the workout, repetitions, weight load, what I was going to do next, etc. I don't listen to music, unless it is playing in the gym, or podcasts. I don't like to be hooked to electronics. I just…

One of the reasons for his medical team throwing so many yet unproven treatments at him is probably because they are trying to avoid putting DT in a ventilator and in an medical induced coma. Trump would have to pass the baton to Pence for as long as necessary and I don't think that he wants to relinquish his power.…

In maintenance for 10.5 years, and I don't track/weigh food or log in a consistent manner. I find it too cumbersome, annoying and time consuming. But that is me... I go thru days or weeks of mostly loose logging (specially on vacation or when eating out, when Covid was not around), followed by days or weeks of more…

No, things will not "be fine soon." And wanting to know the truth doesn't make people jerks, it makes them/me/us concerned citizen seeking the right information. Jerks are the ones that want to overshadow the reality of the pandemic and those that do not follow health directives, but make mockery of those that do. One can…

Barr has tested negative but still no planing to quarantine. At least he is wearing a mask now... "Asked Saturday why Barr isn't quarantining after news of Conway's positive Covid results, the Justice Department reiterated to CNN that Barr had tested negative on Friday. Justice Department spokeswoman Kerri Kupec later said…

The article below may clarify your concern. The italic part is what I find very disturbing. An 'exhausted' Trump's long path to coronavirus Little could those guests know that the tired-sounding man sitting across the white brocade tablecloth would test positive, hours later, for coronavirus. Nor were they aware that…

WOW!!!!

Not happening anytime soon Bon, so keep up your mask, wash your hands often, and stay away from crowded places :s , until an effective vaccine full of neutralizing antibodies and void of political influence is available.

I am getting mine tomorrow at the doctors office, my husband already got his last week. Both paid my medicare and health insurance.

Good article, if you believe in safety measures. The next few months could get ugly. Here's how to stay safe as the pandemic rages on https://www.cnn.com/2020/09/29/health/how-to-stay-safe-covid-fall-autumn-wellness-trnd/index.html

I love this article. It should be sent to the "anti-maskers...." https://www.kevinmd.com/blog/2020/09/if-you-dont-want-to-wear-a-mask-come-to-work-with-me.html
