Pandemic

We are having a Pandemic right now.  It started in China in November and they kept it from the rest of the world until Dec 31.  It's a little scary and very stressful.  California and New York are both on lock down.  Watching the world web cams, I see empty streets.  Oklahoma is also pretty quiet.  Most are working from home or they are just taking off work and staying isolated.
The daycare is open, but I really want to close.  I don't want any of my family subjected to this virus and I really don't want to get it either!

I have been keeping up with it.  The stock market is crashing over and over.  Businesses are closing. Gas is like .99 a gallon and people are buying out stores!  Meat, toilet paper, hand sanitizer, lysol cleaner are hot commodities!  Facebook has a whole page dedicated to it. 

I am still open because childcare is considered essential.  I really want to close.  I'm a nervous wreck about it all. 

Here are today's numbers:

World wide:    784,413
Total deaths:     37,638

Us Cases:        163.253
Total deaths:       3,167
Recovered:         5,507

Oklahoma:             481
Total deaths:            17
Counties:                 47

I'm gonna need a Shot for this!

Katie and Ben bought a new house.  So of course we watched the kids so they could move.  I reminded Dennis

Me:  Don't forget we have the grandbabies tonight after work.

Dennis:  I thought they were coming tomorrow.

Me:  They are coming tomorrow too.  We will have them today from 6 to after they fall asleep. and then again tomorrow.

Dennis:  For how long?

Me:  Probably all day.  Dinner, bath and then they will go home ...

Dennis:  Can you tell Katie when she brings the kids, to also bring me a bottle of whiskey

Poor Choice of an Adjective

Man!!  I can hardly sit cross legged anymore. Every time I get up I feel like I’m gonna fall right over, and I have to walk all hunched over for a good minute to wait for different parts of my body to remember what it's job is.  My thighs hurt... my hips hurt ...my feet are numb.

It’s really weird!  I’ve been sitting like this for 55 years and all of a sudden I can’t do it?

Why is there such a crazy health crisis going on after the age of 50?  Menopause hits... osteoporosis hits... vertigo hits... digestion issues start... high blood pressure... thyroid..... My eyes are worse, my memory is worse, my allergies got worse my shoulders are hurting my feet are swelling I got wrinkles on my face, my boobs are looking sad, my hair is looking sad, even my toe nails looks sad.

How come they call these golden years?   Should be the Black Plague years.  Who the hell decided to use the word GOLDEN for age 50? I want to go throat punch them!

Yoga Lesson 101

My ribs are hurting and stretching seems to help.  I tell Dennis that I need to do Yoga because stretching feels good for my muscles.

Dennis:  So do Yoga!

Me:  I don't know how to do it!

Dennis:  All you do is put your face on the ground and stick your butt up in the air!

*Sigh*
