Are you ready??

Are you ready to get back to somewhat normal in your life? Do you really know who and what to believe with what is going on in your life with having to shelter at home? 
      I want to be able to go shopping again instead of having it done for me. I must admit my daughter has done a good job for me during this time. The first time of getting to go out of town was to my sister-in-law's visitation. It was the first funeral for the funeral home since all of the lockdown had started. It was hard on the family with her being in a nursing home and they were not allowed to go see her. She did not have the virus. My three nephews had to give me a hug which was needed by all. 
     The family time is something that I have missed the most and the hugs. 
     God is there to protect us. I know he is protecting me because I fell while taking a walk. I kissed the sidewalk splat. I did get a lot of bruises and my nose turned black and blue for one area.  I did not break any bones, nor glasses, nor dentures. The only thing I did break was the corner of my cell phone. We did go and replace it which was done by curb side. It was a different experience because you didn't get to go into the store and check out the different phones. 
     They are taking so many things away from the kids and putting restrictions on what they are allowing that it makes you wonder if you are living in a dictatorship. I will be glad when the election is over with maybe that will make a big difference. 
     My fingers have been kept busy working on new projects. I sent my butterfly table topper to the UK and it took longer then it should have to get there. I know I order some supplies that normally takes 3-5 days but it took 14 days to get and you wondered it you were going to receive your order.
    They have cancelled so many things in our area that was scheduled in July, August, and September. How can you predict what is going to happen that far out in advance of everything. You really don't know what tomorrow will bring let alone that far in advance. 
    I need to finish a custom order so I hope you all are well and safe. Take care my friends.

That sounds like quite a tumble you took and no lasting damage to you, thank goodness. We are slowly opening up in California, I am still self isolating. A friend visited me yesterday and we sat on my front patio six feet apart, wearing masks, and laughed a lot.

Shirley, So sorry about your sister in law. The boys must have need to hug you. God bless them. Shirley I fell twice the past year...both times in a puddle of water, once in the flower spot at the grocery and then at the blinking hospital cafeteria. That one hurt me for some time. The hospital made me go to ER then had the nerve to bill me and medicare. I refused to pay the 50 dollar co pay, told them they are the ones who came to my husband's room and escorted me to ER. That won't happen again. If I fall any more I will lie there till someone scraps me up with a spatula.LOL So glad you did not break anything. But so scary all the same. Please stay safe and take care. Blessings, xoxo, Susie

Yes, these times are so very trying. I agree with you. The thing I miss most is being close to my family and visiting with my Mom. I am hoping the elections bring change also Shirley.

I don't know who or what to believe anymore. I'm not sure anyone knows for sure about this Covid thing. I try to do all I can to protect myself and my family. But really??? I think we may have carried this a bit too far.....

I am sorry about your sister-in-law. These are surely tough times for all of us. Our normal will not be the old normal, I am afraid. Life has changed for all of us. We are extra careful because of John's health. xo Diana

So sorry to hear about your SIL. I am glad you were able to get some hugs and contact with your family. And also very glad you were not seriously hurt in your fall. After this week of deaths and protests I can pray people are seeing the light and will vote this maniac out of office.
