They talk about reopening things in this country
People need to work, to pay bills, to get back to normal
But I fear it is all being rushed
People are still dying by the hundreds every day and we are in lockdown
Will that double or triple when people are no longer quarantined?
Its scary
The above question is from my 13 year old grand daughter
One thing is I work nights so it would be stuck in its kennel then and then he would have to be in it when I slept during the day
It just seems unfair to the dog
Plus Rick isn’t a huge fan of dogs and I don’t know if I could trust him to be nice to it
AND I don’t think I am quite ready to replace Max
I so adored that dog
My son Matt came over today with my grand daughter’s Keira and Kayla and it was a great day seeing them and visiting with them
They are exceptional human beings and I adore them so much
The weather was pretty great too
I am truly blessed

So Emily gave us all a scare early Friday morning
Her husband woke up to her gasping for air
Her face and lips were blue
Before he got her to the floor she quit breathing
He did cpr but he said she wasn’t breathing for 2 or 3 minutes
The ambulance came and after 20 minutes she came back to her self
The ER doctor said she had a seizure
Put her on seizure medication and she has to go to her neurologist on Monday
Of course she can’t drive for 6 months unless she has another one than it will be 6 months after that one
I just thank God that Adam woke up

My husband and I went to Iowa City this morning to Menards.
ON our drive there he said, “Sure wish we were driving to Florida right now”
I said “Me too”
If only.
They said that the temps in Daytona were going to be in the nineties.
That is better than this cold thirty degree crap that we have to deal with.
it is almost the middle of April and we still have freezing temperature.
I could easily quit my job, load up our three younger grandkids and drive to Florida for a week.
I have to take them because their mother starts back to work tomorrow after being off six weeks due to her brain surgery.
Sigh.
if only we could go to Florida.
Darn it.

I have a funky headache today.
I feel a bit dizzy, just sitting here and typing this.
Not sure if it is vertigo or something else.
I ate and that seemed to help it for a bit but the headache is back again.
It could be because I haven’t slept yet today after working last night.
But last week I was up for 29 hours and had no ill affects from it.
Sigh.
Did some cleaning and a bit of laundry left over from yesterday and now I am waiting to have a conference call/ face to face via phones with my doctor.
I was supposed to go in and see her today but because of CoVid 19 they aren’t seeing patients.


The Lord has blessed me so very much with these 4 people
I am so lucky
Keira and Kayla came over today and spent about five hours with me.
They just left and went home with their father.
It is always great to see them and with this coronavirus going around it is hard to find time to see them
This morning I was outside and could feel myself getting quite warm in the sun even though it was a very cool windy day.
All afternoon my grand daughters and I were outside and now I can’t get warm.
I assume it is to do with being tired but I think I may have gotten a touch of too much sun too because it always makes me tired.
I love it.
Don’t get me wrong.
The sun brings such warmth and comfort to me.
I worked in the yard a bit today too.
Sure wish the seventies would come back and stay.
Sigh
Not sure when I will see Keira and Kayla again.
Probably not for another week or more.
😦


Flowers are blooming and for a few days it felt like spring had finally arrived

But alas we are cold again with strong northern winds and cold temperatures 
I know one of these days the warmer temperatures will stay
Just have to be patient
🙂




Well after having a beautiful perfect day yesterday and a beautiful half day today, it has gotten freezing cold again outside.
I heard we may even get snow on Sunday.
Say it isn’t so!
I hate going back to freezing after these last two days.
I started noticing that it was getting colder when the wind picked up from the North.
This was around two o’clock this afternoon.
Now it is blistery and cold again.
I DETEST this weather.
Sure if it was in January or any winter month I could handle it.
But it is almost the middle of April.
We have had such glorious weather.
WHY must we go back to cold?
I just want to cry………………
