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.

| A new week begins and things are looking pretty good. I've written a few entries about us being exposed to Covid and my wife getting sick and testing positive. She's doing better, but not recovered; she explained that it was much like having the flu the first few days, but now it's just leaving her tired and feeling like a head cold. She's been free of fever for four days now and starting to have a little more energy. Her quarantine date is January nine-teenth and it's looking good. The girls and I are all doing well. The oldest had a tickle in her throat yesterday after spending the day at her friends for a birthday party; they know about our Covid but have all had it and wanted her to attend anyway. I was hoping it wasn't her getting sick, but today she was fine again. They have wood heat and it's very dry in their house, probably why her throat was tickling. The youngest has been stuffy, but that's been the case since early fall. She seems to suffer from allergies and now the dry air with this last cold snap has her stuffed up some, but no other symptoms. Well, she did have one, she couldn't taste very well last night. But, today I found out she had been snacking on those really hot Cheetos right before she ate, and I'm guessing that had her taste buds numbed. I am also stuffed up but have been off and on since fall. One of the causes is cats, my daughter's friend was around a bunch of them and I'm alergic. Also, like the younger girl, I have allergies and am sensitive to dry air. I haven't any other symptoms except for being a bit more tired over the last few days. But, I have been having trouble sleeping off and on, and I have been staying up quite late. Even so, I may be fighting this damn bug off, we all are. School reopens on Tuesday, and the girls are eager to be back. But, we still need to get it set up for them to return with ur exposure. My wife has done good to stay clear of us since she has gotten sick, we are practicing all the safety protocols and keeping everything disinfected. Since the girls and my wife had the same date of exposure, they have already completed the quarantine period. But, since my wife got sick a couple of days after the exposure, the girls may have to quarantine until Friday with her. We won't know until we talk to the school nurse again. The last we heard was if they have been free of symptoms and fever and have maintained a safe distance, they may be able to return on Tuesday if my wife hasn't had a fever in at least five days. As for me, I'm doing the things I usually do, just with a lot more work at home caring for a sick wife and cabin-fevered girls. I found a base cabinet to use in the garage at my neighbors and talked to him a bit on Friday. He came over and we talked a bit outside. I informed him of our Covid and we maintained a safe distance, but I haven't gone over to get the cabinet like I was supposed to on Saturday. I know he will come out and help load it, and since we are still quarantined, I don't want to put him at risk, even though he is alright with things; he, like me, figures it's going to hit us all sooner or later and isn't worried about coming in contact, but is respectful of others not to expose them. I'm thinking of stopping over tomorrow if my wife feels up to helping me lift the cabinet into the pick-up. But, then I have to rearrange a bunch of stuff in the garage to put it in. Since I've been kind of tired lately, I'm not sure if I want to start the project tomorrow or not. I could leave the cabinet in the pick-up I suppose, but then if I decide to go out and try my hand at ice fishings, I won't have room in the truck for my gear. Decisions-decisions... I guess, for now, I'll just sleep on it~ bnb |
