I'm tired of cooking/preparing 3 meals a day. It's just the two of us but boy oh boy can that woman eat!! She stays slimish, I get fattish. It's bad enough I do everything here much less start making her one thing and me the other. At times I feel guilty when I buy her fast food cuz of the nutritional value....not to mention I eat it too.
This is their 2nd bout with covid, they had it one before. Daughter was down for the count for almost a month the first time around. Gee, one would think after that she would get the covid shots/booster, and for her children. Nope, she believes in those unfounded conspiracy theories. And here she has a serious underline medical disease that reduces her immune system.
Should I feel bad that I have zero sympathy for what she and the children are going through? We have warned her over and over. Her teens are old enough to make their own decisions. Sig-other is beside himself with worry.
I do not feel badly for those that get it and have done nothing, NOTHING, to protect themselves or others.
This is why we can tolerate the excessive heat, we get fabulous winters, falls and springs. Well worth 3 months of crummy weather to enjoy 9 months of perfect temps.
Scrambling to send her over some chicken soup and do some laundry. You gotta hope kids remember this stuff, yes?
My whine is that the positivity has to be much greater than data show. While, I have heard there are instructions on home tests you are to report the results. Really?! How many people will take the time to report results? How many will actually read the instructions and know that they are to report results?
I understand. I don't know if you are familiar with the character "Mr. T." from the "Rocky" movies. I would be very tempted to quote him "I [don't] pitty the fool[s}. I have one prediction, pain, pain and more pain."
I hate it when computer updates cause problems! Last Firefox updated and now things are displaying with black background and white text. I've reset the colours a dozen times but all my drop down menus, new tabs and web searches stubbornly remain reversed.

Google is my best friend.
in the past I used to change up my decorative background theme with the seasons but I've been content to leave one with a dark background in place for a couple of years now. It seems that Firefox assumes that if you like a dark theme you also want to have your display in dark mode, and changing to a lighter theme changes everything. Now I'll have to search for one that I don't hate 🤔
SMH.
*Ope, mostly fixed it. I used the General settings and chose the colors individually instead of the themes because they change everything.
We are trying to keep his/my kids tested and the grandkids able to see him.
Will move daughter and granddaughter out of temporary hotel accomodations tomorrow.
Just too much family drama this week.
Followup optho appt for my husband today. Watchful waiting as to whether what the doc is seeing is the beginnings of glaucoma.
Glad to hear everyone tested negative.
I am ever grateful that my eldest, who had just started a job at NYSE was at a back office meeting in Brooklyn that day and not at her job. And that she had the forethought to call me about 3 minutes after the second plane hit to tell me that she was not in Lower Manhattan.
One of her H.S. friends was at her first day of work at WTC. Dead at 22.
