Where are you Wednesday?

[jewels]

Good morning!  Where is everyone today??

[guster]

Hi!
Waiting for my annual dermatology visit to start. Otherwise, same old over here.

[jewels]

They moved up MH work at the inauguration so they could be done early in anticipation of all the awfulness expected. He was supposed to leave Saturday but found out yesterday that he had to be there (4 hours away) by 10 AM today. So he left at 5 AM this morning. I'm trying to keep calm, but between worrying about him catching Covid, and worrying about the potential violence, I'm vibrating a bit over here.

I had started weight watchers last week, but this morning I have already eaten my weight in choc covered raisins. Oops.

[nam2013]

jewels I loveeee chocolate covered raisins!

[slenle]

Sorry for the stress jewels. I hope he stays safe!

Morning! I’m alt the salon covering the ever multiplying grays. I will probably have to leave with wet hair I order to get N and L from my parents, then H from school and get home I time for N’s next google meet. She’s back to school full time next week!

Dh has a meeting tonight and H has hockey so I have to take the other two along. Not ideal, and hopefully L can be contained.

[nam2013]

I’m here, three kids has made my life significantly more busy than two . SSDD homeschooling, nursing, eating likes there’s no tomorrow...

[lahdeedah]

Morning.

SSDD here. It’s slow at work. Laser appt this afternoon.

jewels I’m sorry for the anxiety. Hope he stays safe and there is no rallies while he is there. When does he come back?

[jewels]

lahdeedah, he is supposed to come back Friday the 22nd. but if there are any significant rallies/disturbances, it could easily delay his return.

[nam2013]

jewels I’m sorry you’re so anxious, I would be too. Don’t be to hard on yourself this week, with WW, but in general. I’ll be sending positive thoughts.

[vino]

jewels I'm sorry for the stress and I hope he stays safe. Is he able to get a COVID test on his return?

[vino]

Morning.

It's an annoying day over here. My work unit has been spotlighted within the province and all these public people/media folks have opinions about what is happening when they're not educating themselves on what is really happening so we are just putting out fires everywhere. I get it, govt does shady shit but being on the inside I KNOW that this is an instance where people are taking a gossip topic and fucking running with it. Grrrrr.

[tgrimes]

vino That's annoying. I'm sorry you're having to deal with unnecessary shit.

[tgrimes]

jewels I hope he stays safe.

[nam2013]

vino soooo annoying!



Eta well except here off course, we’re are all amazing .

He can - but since he could still test positive days later, I'm still concerned.  Honestly, he's the only one in my family I am super worried about Covid with as he has some pre-existing conditions.  So I 'm not as worried that he gets us sick as I am of him being sick.  I also don't see how I could keep him away from the kids for that long.

But that is a good idea.  I'll talk to him tonight about setting an appt for his return.  That will at least help quell the fear.

[tgrimes]

I installed shelves in my entryway closet last night and I love it. Now I'm making MH pick up some wood so I can build my own shelves for the hall closet. If that goes well, I'll do the same for my laundry room. I know if I wait on MH to take care of it all, it will never get done....

I'm still waiting for him to install my corner curtain rod in our bedroom. I may have to just get on that myself.

[nam2013]

It is quiet here today... hope all of you are well.

[nam2013]

tgrimes I’m in awe if your handiness!

Dang mine may be the last one to make it. It will be a Valentine’s Day card. 😆

It’s been a long 2021 already. T wasn’t feeling well last Tuesday so I had him tested for covid even though the doctor didn’t think he had it and he is my kid that never leaves the house. He didn’t but I didn’t get his results until Friday so I kept C out of daycare so it was rough with work. Yesterday my nephew was in the ER with kidney stones. I was hopeful that teachers would be vaccinated in the next few weeks and we would have a chance of going back to school but with the rule changes today, there are now like 4 million people ahead of me and I’m feeling like the school year is done and the thought of 6 more months remote makes me want to quit and be anything but a teacher.

[lahdeedah]

Spent most of the day trying to figure out how to get Mh scheduled for a vaccine. Of course yesterday the governor opened it up for everyone 65 and over or with medical condition. Just saw on the news that the health dept’s supply is all spoken for until they get another shipment. This was literally 2 minutes after I finally got someone on the phone and she told me that they are not scheduling anymore because they don’t have any available doses.

Now I have to keep my eyes peeled in the next week so we can try to get him vaccinated before he has to report mid feb.

I’m sorry. Hope it gets a little easier for you soon and someone wises up and gets teachers prioritized ASAP.

I got my vaccine today! We found out Monday that our officers could get it with other LEOs and our Chief advocated for the four person support staff to be included. As soon as I got the registration email I booked an appointment for a half hour later. I got the Moderna and I’ve had a headache off and on that feels different than my normal and I am a little fuzzy/dizzy but otherwise ok.

I do have massive guilt about it though since I don’t feel I should have been prioritized yet. It’s really frustrating the way they are rolling this out. There were at least 30 slots still available today and when I went there were about 50 members of the National Guard just standing around.


Aside from that work was a little nutty but ok. I didn’t get to be on here or read today.

[vino]

kim22 I’m really sorry you’re struggling, please reach out if you need anything. I hope you get prioritized quickly, as with all teachers.

We’ll all get through this, I just know it. But damn if this isn’t hard.

[lahdeedah]

Just talked to my MIL and we were talking about the vaccination and she said MH’s cousin, who is a teacher, is also upset kim22. She thought they would be getting the vaccine this week or next, too and now that they have opened it up, it doesn’t seem likely. She has a lot more kids in class once the second semester started.

While talking to her, I was thinking that maybe people who have not had covid should be prioritized over people who have had it because their antibodies should offer them a level of protection. Is this thought totally wrong?

[lahdeedah]

wedding I get your feeling of guilt, but when you have the opportunity, I don’t blame you for going for it. Teachers should definitely get it before Mh, but he had the opportunity given to him, so we were going to take it. He does have asthma, so that may have qualified him in any event.

You would qualify before others with health conditions, right? I’m sorry if I’m not remembering correctly.

[kim22]

Thanks ladies, I’m okay and I know so many people need the vaccine more than me. I am still working from home but the hope was teachers would be next and by March we could go back. One of my biggest fears has been us infecting C’s sitter. She is 65 and so is her husband and I love them both. At least they should be vaccinated soon and that will ease some of my anxiety.
wedding you should not feel bad, wouldn’t being a diabetic put you in a priority group?

We thought teachers would be next as in by next week because they just allowed police and firefighters here but tomorrow they are opening to anyone 65 and up and smokers and they claim there are 2 million smokers in the state. They are saying opening to those groups will cause at least an 8 week back up so that’s not looking good for returning to school. I don’t think we will return without at least the offer of vaccines to teachers. We still have almost 100 cases a day in my city.

I would be in group 2 here due to my diabetes. It’s just crazy to think I got it before people that have to be out in the community.

They need to be going to schools and just doing it. This is so crazy!
