Almost Over!
Well, it looks like it’s almost over, folks! President Biden says that everyone should have their Covid vaccinations by the middle of April, and many states are talking about lifting the mask mandates already.
My husband and I got our vaccinations a couple of weeks ago because we are considered high risk, and it was the Johnson & Johnson one, so we only had to go the one time (thank God), so we are now safe. Whew! I am so glad that is over with. Can’t wait to be able to see my granddaughters without masks on.
This whole Covid thing has been so bizarre. Over a year now. I can’t believe it is almost over. At least I hope it is. That sure would be great.
It would be so great for things to get back to normal. Or at least as back to normal as things ever get, that is!
We’ve been back to going to a few yard sales (with our masks on), so that has been fun. Not too many yet, as it has still been pretty cold out, but those that have been out have had some pretty cool stuff.
We aren’t able to go back to selling at the flea market this month as they are not having one (they are skipping this month), but we will be able to go back in May. It will be nice, as we most likely won’t have to be wearing masks by then. It was going to be hard having to wear them every day for so many hours, 3 days in a row for the whole time of the Expo.
I can’t wait to go back. I love the wheeling and dealing, and all the people. I love the people watching, too. It’s so much fun. And the extra money really helps us out, too.
I’ll especially be grateful when this whole Covid thing is over with, because it has driven my husband crazy! So much so that he has had to see a therapist for his depression. I even think he may have been in a mini-episode.
The therapist has had him go up on his Depakote and is seeing him every other week. So far he’s doing pretty good, but still going stir crazy.
Right now he’s sick, possibly upper respiratory, and can’t get in to see the doctor till tomorrow. We thought it was just allergies at first, but now he can’t even talk without coughing, so it’s better to get it checked out. At least we know it can’t be Covid, cuz he was never exposed.
But he’s just so frustrated, because it’s stopping him from doing the things he wants to do, and increasing his agitation, which is really bad for his bipolar disorder. And today was his appointment with his therapist and he can’t go because he’s feeling so sick, and that’s not gonna help matters, either. Kinda like the Murphy’s Law thing. If anything can go wrong, it will. Well, it sure is for him.
Right now he’s just resting and popping cough drops like candy, biding his time till his doctor’s appointment tomorrow. Then we’ll know more. Rest is probably the best he can do for now. And watch his bipolar.
We had a scare with our dog, Sunshine, recently. Now, if you don’t have a dog this will probably not mean anything to you, but if you do have one, you can probably relate to how scared it can make you when they get sick.
She started acting all weird this one day and all confused, circling rooms and wandering around the house and crying. She wouldn’t eat and couldn’t even go to the bathroom by herself – we had to put her on the leash and lead her again. She was definitely not herself.
We thought she’d had a stroke or something. We were so scared for her. So we took her to the vet.
The vet checked her out thoroughly and said she was fine neurologically, but that she was anxious about something and had a bad inner ear infection that could have gone all the way into her head. So she gave her a shot of steroids and antibiotics and gave us some ear drops for us to give her for 5 days. She also had us giving her Trazadone for her anxiety.
Turns out the anxiety was from the storms we had had for the past 3 days, so the Trazadone helped calm her down.
You wouldn’t believe the change in her after just 24 hours! She was back to being herself! We had been so very scared that we were going to lose her, but so happy when she was all right. We’ve had her for over 10 years, and I just love her so much. She is my baby girl. I’m just so glad she’s going to be around for a while longer.
Other than that, things are going along just fine. I am happy and stable, thank the Lord. Hoping that you are, too.
Wishing you joy and stability,
Remember God loves you and so do I,
Michele
