March life update

Drag my butt out of bed.
Work 8 hours.
15-90 minutes at home for dinner.
Visit Mom.  Home by 10pm.
Rinse & repeat.

Except now her community is locked down.  No visitors.  I get in because I'm there for a medical reason, to inject her insulin.  They give medicine but not shots.  So I have to do it every night.

I'm just waiting for probate to end.  We have a court date in May.  I have nothing left to do but wait.

So my stress has turned into physical symptoms.  I've been dealing with digestive issues since September.  Then it went up another level when I went back to work after the 2 week holiday break.  I think I've finally got it under control, except for gas.  Gas can get painful.  It's certainly not pleasant.  I mentioned this to my friend.  She gave me some Mexican herbs to make tea.  Meh.  So I've been trying probiotic gummy's.  I could eat the whole jar in one setting, takes alot of self-control to limit to two a day.  I think it helps but I think I found the cure:  bone broth.  I should have just bone broth for dinner every day.

I could use a massage.  But I don't trust the massage people to wipe down properly between customers for coronavirus.  Some tables are barely acceptable when it's cold & flu season and the place at the mall skimps on their table covering.  I'll give it another month.
