My thoughts released; a mind set free |
|
These pages contain my thoughts, from meandering ideas and persuasions to deep cerebrations and serious mentations. Why, for what purpose? To release my mind and set creativity free. Somewhere inside the constraints of my mind dwells a writer, a poet, an artist who paints with words. In here I release those constraints and set the artist free. Perhaps, lost somewhere in the depths of thought, is a story or a poem, waiting to be written.

| Here's an update on our quarantine status. My wife, who tested positive after being exposed by her brother who should have stayed home because he was sick, tested positive for Covid. Now, she is, with the rest of us in the household, quarantined until the 23. Up till today, she was the only person in our home who had gotten sick. Today, however, our youngest daughter of 13 complained about not being able to taste some foods, is very stuffed up, and could be running a low-grade-fever; I'll check her with the thermometer through the day tomorrow. Our older daughter, who was at a birthday party for the day, came home and complained her throat is scratchy. I will add here, that the family of the girl who was having a birthday party was notified that we have been exposed to Covid and have one person already sick and confirmed with Covid. They have recently had Covid spread through their household, been quarantined, and are now over it, so they wanted our daughter to attend anyway. So far, I'm the only one who isn't showing any signs. We will monitor the girls tomorrow and take them in for testing on Monday if they show any continuing signs. If they test positive, we restart our quarantine and go from there. The sad part is, they have been home since Thanksgiving break and school is finally opening up again this week. They are both very eager to be back in class instead of distance learning, they are missing so many friends, and I'm about ready to bang my head against the wall trying to help them with school, activities, and preventing them from going stir-crazy. Now, here's the part that really pets my Peeves, my wife, and the girls went to my mother-in-law's because she is elderly and very lonesome. No one has been going over to visit her, due to the increase in Covid. She would have been alone for Thanksgiving, Christmas, and New Years' if it was up to the rest of her family. The only other family member with a viable excuse was my wife's younger sister, she had to stay home because she was self quarantining as a result of possible Covid exposure. After two weeks and no one getting sick in her family, she finally decided it was safe to visit, so she also was there for the weekend. My mother-in-law called her son and told him that my wife, our daughters, and my younger sister-in-law had come to visit for the weekend. He then decided that, even though he was very sick, should make a surprise visit; how could he not show up his two younger sisters? Or, maybe his intent, since he was sick and his wife was sick, was to make someone else sick as well. He strikes me as the type who would do just that. No matter, he ended up in the emergency room two days later with Covid. Don't worry, he was treated and released and is recovering at home. I know, I've vented on this the last few nights, but it really gets my Peeve and pets my goat. I know, that doesn't make any sense, that's because you didn't read my earlier post about Peeves and Goats, titled The Original Peeves Was a Goat! posted on January 6th. I think if you scroll to that entry, which is not very long, it will all make sense. Okay, I'm done now... unless I get sick, then I'll need more venting! |
