FAMILY!!!!!

A lot of you that I talk to see your family on a daily basis.  Your kids, your grandchildren, siblings, in-laws etc...I hope you recognize, as I am sure you do, how fortunate you are.  Finally this week I was able to see one of my kids!!!  It felt so amazing to give April and Myles great big hugs.  Just to touch them was awesome!  I miss my kids and grand kids so much.  Yesterday, as I waved frantically to April and Myles as they drove off home, I had to fight back the tears and be so so grateful that I had Monte here.  If I had been alone I would have broken right up.

What a great couple of days.  The kids went swimming each day out at the swimming hole.  It was also Myles's birthday.  On the second day I stayed home to get the kitchen clean and make a cake.  We all went down to Starboard Grill for dinner and we had an amazing wonderful time.  It was so sad to see them go next morning.

Last night neither Monte nor I could sleep.  I didn't get to sleep til 8 this morning.  But around two am Mr. Man downstairs was violently ill.  Oh Lordy, for about half an hour.  Jeez was he sick.  He thinks it's food poisoning from the pork he bbq'ed. All I can say is I am glad I am vegetarian!!!!

  Then he woke up an hour ago and started in again...dry heaving now..  For half an hour or more.  The poor guy is exhausted.  I phoned my girls and they have reassured me it isn't covid.  And he doesn't have a fever so hopefully all is okay.  I took him down an immense container of water so we shall see if he keeps that down.  If not and if the other end acts up, I shall get out of my pj's and go get blue gatorade.

Thats it for today.  A shorty post.  Keep safe people and a swimming noodle distance away from everyone!!!!  TTYL

For Aryn:

1.  Wear a seatbelt.  Don't be a Bob and not wear one!!!!

2.  Don't drive distracted.  No eating while driving, no changing radio stations, no smacking kids (or husbands) in the backseat with long sticks, no bending over to get that golf ball out from under your feet.......

3.  Protect your eyes from screens.  Okay first of all he says to limit the amount of time you spend on your phone.  But then he has pages of what you should do with your computer to mitigate the damage.  You will just have to read it for yourself.  I feel if you need to do all that...quit your job.

4.  Watch your headphone volume.  Keep it turned as low as you can get away with.  Keep those wee ear hairs able to keep wiggling.

5.  Don't put q-tips in your ears.  Again, those little hairs need to be undisturbed, by noise waves or invading cotton swabbed sticks.

Thats it for this week.  A little late but better than never!
