I'm still thinking about art. I have no time for it but I have a whole box of blank canvases. On one of my visits to my pharmacy, the pharmacy tech says "we just got in masks & gloves, do you want any?" At first I declined but when I went back, I figured we may be wearing masks for a while so I got a box. I don't believe gloves are as good as washing/sanitizing your hands frequently.
I was aiming for a panda nose. Everyone sees a cat.
Mom went to the hospital a couple weeks ago. It was a UTI & bacteria in her blood. She stayed for 5 days of intravenous antibiotics. She was still lethargic on our one Facetime but she was still out of it, barely opened her eyes. Then she got transferred to a nursing home for physical therapy until she qualifies to go back to assisted living. I was able to get one Facetime only because I took the whole day off to deal with phone calls. She talked to the girl holding the iPad, thought she was showing a picture of me and kept asking for a copy. So I thought I'd try the phone. The front desk would transfer the call to her bedside but Mom's not going to pick up. So I had them hand the phone to her. They must have walked away because after the initial hello, I didn't get any more response. I think she dropped the phone. So next time I have to ask the nurse to hang around while we attempt another chat. This COVID thing is keeping me from seeing her. She'll talk to me in person.
So my great commutes are only just good now until schools open up again and they go back to sucky. Restaurants are sucking. The lunch time lines are taking 20 of my 30 minute lunch break, especially since I was told I can't leave 5 min early anymore (after 10 years). So it's a difference between a 10 min lunch run or 20 minutes. Having to inhale my lunch certainly does not help my digestive problems. I tried to go to the local Mexican restaurant. OMG so many people in the restaurant at 3:30pm, nobody wearing masks. So I drove on to Krispy Kreme. The drive-thru was into the street and they're not letting anyone in for take out. You must order through the app and pick-up only at the window. I ended up at the small Walmart (groceries only) to pick up ingredients to turn my old roasted chicken into a chicken salad sandwich. Admittedly it was much better for me than the (failed) choices. It was a damn good sandwich, too.
Monday update: Mom was sent from the nursing home to the hospital today. I got a call from the ambulance driver as he was taking her. Then nurse called me from the nursing home when she went back. Mom was alert to talk to me on the phone. Finally after two weeks. I mean it was repetitive as all hell but that's her old normal.
