What was your fasting blood glucose? (full on chat)

Very worrying and frightening @Muddy Cyclist
Could your wife write to her mother. Would that be allowed?
I wrote to my mother, ( I knew her as my aunt and wasn't aware she was my mother until she had died ) (I lived a very long distance away) even though she had dementia (she always had one brief moment of delighted recognition of me when I visited), and apparently welcomed my letters. The staff read them to her. I had bought her a beautiful fountain pen and some cards and stamps. After the staff read my letter, it was only very short, my mother began a reply, Just Dear...then my name, then it degenerated into a scrawl of no sense, but I treasured them.
Is there something like this you could do?
It is so sad. I feel for you and your wife. Hugs.
 
 

Sounds like a good idea to me!
 

3 friends join me in admiring your slates.

 
I wish I had unlimited funds, I would pack up the KittenCat and my guitar and go stay in a hotel in the little town until the apartment there is painted and ready for me. I've had a hunch for weeks now that something would happen to interfere with my move -- I had no idea then about this d****d virus and told myself I was just being paranoid ...
So far, life in the little town seems to be business as usual, including their St Patrick's Day parade next week ... although the grocery store is running low on toilet paper and people are lining up waiting while new shipments are unpacked ...
I wish I'd had money enough to move last spring, when they first notified me of a vacancy.
I noticed the last two days I went shopping that walking hurt my legs because I haven't been getting out every day and walking ... I am determined to get out despite all this panic and walk SOMEWHERE, even if just around our parking lot ...

@Muddy Cyclist I am very sorry to hear about your MIL's nursing home's ruling.

@gennepher I am shocked and sorry to learn about your mother.

@ianpspurs I thought of you while reading Psalm 81 at breakfast, especially vv 11-16.
 
Well a bit of a result, of sorts,
Etihad have just announced due to the
Unprecidented nature of the situation, full refund or rebook for another time later in year.. IF travel is permitted.

Rather decent I suppose . Many must be struggling with the weight of the collapse of travel.

Sat here in the cemetery, nice and peaceful, just taking a moment from the madness. Very calming.



Sorry to hear about wife's mum, @Muddy Cyclist .. To be expected, but like your wife, that thought of what if, wouldn't be far from my mind.. But it IS the best protection she can have right now, so when this is over, those hugs and kisses that you know will come, will just be that much sweeter.

Good bless.
& Stay safe.
 

GOD NO. have they leaned nothing from Europe..

The numbers infected are WAY more then those they have spotted....WAY more, hasn't so many US cites cancelled this already.?

So Sorry to hear about the move.. Seems life is conspiring against so many plans right now.
The time to move will still come, @SaskiaKC , just needs a little patience.

Stay safe.
 
good afternoon all

4.7 today

shopping and a walk today now I just have to batch cook and freeze some things

Hope your day is treating you well
 

Interesting to see how you proceed with masking fluid. And then yellow on the tree. To work on further later. I have never 'built' up the colour on a tree, but just put the whole lot of colours together. I want to see the next bit @Muddy Cyclist
 
I can feel your frustration and it is entirely understandable. However I strongly believe you are safer from this being in your own place without sharing facilities, doors, etc with other people. Like JJ said the chance to move will still come and the most important thing is you stay safe and well. Hugs to you and the KC.
