Steam Fantasy

Worried about everyone out there. Be safe, try to stay home when possible. Things are getting out of control, what's going on in New York reflects the state of the rest of the country in a few weeks.  I am praying that there is an end to this nightmare.  I am praying for my family, friends...everyone who has been affected by this pandemic. 

Hubby is working from home, so I don't have as much access to my computer to post my creations. I am trying to keep strong...heck I am from New York...we are made of tough stuff...but I do break into fits of crying and anger. I feel more isolated than ever.

Whenever hubby has to go into work, I get online to get bills paid, meat orders...sad I have to resort to ordering meat/seafood online. I am lucky to have my girls, God bless them both, who manage to get most things we need, but meat is an elusive item. Pasta, rice, beans...the basic staples are never on the shelves...it is damn scary.  I am trying to get used to this new way of life...its very hard for me. This is the greatest country in the world! We shouldn't be struggling to get through each day. 

UGH...I have never hated anyone in my life...but I do now...God forgive me.

Violet Delights

Stuck at home and playing with paints. I call this Violet Delights...but I was actually thinking about "these violent delights have violent ends". Guilty of watching "Westworld" of course.  Although the phrase is used quite a bit in the show, its actually taken from a William Shakespeare play, "Romeo and Juliet".

Worried about getting groceries to last through weeks of confinement?  I am too...actually, more scared for our way of life. Normal is gone...it's chaos instead. I usually do a two week shopping list and try to make it last. With the price of food going up every day since last summer, I really can't afford to spend a huge amount of cash.  Now it's going to be hard just to find food.  I will miss my shopping trips and breakfast out with my oldest. I fear cabin fever will be setting in soon.

Right now we are doing alright here in this dusty little town....

Let us pray. 🙏

Kiss Me I'm Irish 2

Well, decided to take a break from Facebook after noticing all the negativity on a Sunday morning. I am pretty much defeated before I start. I have been worrying about so many things and to just open up my timeline and see empty shelves and people fighting over toilet paper? I need more positive vibes.

My cough still comes and goes, no fever anymore, but so damn tired! I do a few things and I have to lay down or feel like I am going to collapse. I skipped church this morning, second Sunday now...afraid of catching another virus...not necessarily "THE VIRUS"...but damn flu is going around.  This would be my second time dancing with that flu...don't want to go a third round!

Doctor visit tomorrow...hope the office isn't filled with people. Well, actually...it doesn't really matter anyway.  I must do some grocery shopping too, so I will be mixing with people after all. GAH!

I am skipping the wine and stocking up on the hard stuff. At least I'll be a happy self quarantined sickie! 😂

Waiting For You

Feeling much better, fever finally broke and so did the confusion of the mind. There were times I really lost all sense of time. Cough is easing up too...only a slight one now and then. Sinus pain is almost, but not quite gone. I have no idea again what I had...doesn't matter anyway...no tests available.  I thought it was another bout of bronchitis, but again...who really knows?  At least I stayed inside during the worst of it and should have confined myself to bedrest, but well...I can't stay in bed if I feel even an ounce better.  HOWEVER....I am staying in bed today.

I only managed to do a few spring tags between my illnesses. I am hoping that now with a clear mind, I will be able to do more in the coming weeks. Then again,I may just put this all aside until further notice. I am also toying with closing my FB, which of course would close my FB page. Social media has become so depressing and the political divide has everyone at each other's throats. A break would be good for my mental health. My high blood pressure rises the moment I read blatant lies and I can't respond because...well I just can't get into fights online. I release my stress yelling at the tv. 😂

Something to think about while I lay here watching tv because it really hurts my eyes to read.

Still waiting to hear from the breeder about confirmation of the upcoming litter.  I am praying for enough girl puppies...🐕

Hope everyone stays well. Don't forget to wash your hands!!

Fairy Glen

I've been ill the last week. I'm still under the weather...guess when you get old, the body takes longer to heal. Too afraid to go to Urgent Care with all this coronavirus...they would only tell me to stay home anyway. Thank the Lord I am on antibiotics for kidney problems...they have helped with my slower than molasses recovery.

I have a doctor's appointment on March 16th, just keeping fingers crossed I am well by then. I have been told if you have a cough your appointment will be cancelled and rescheduled. GAH!

Stay well folks!
