Our kids must really love us. They refuse to let us visit them and won’t visit us. We’re in the 70+ age category and I have respiratory problems history, although well controlled with Advair Diskus. We both endured serious influenza A in January. We suggested that we could just go grocery shopping during senior hours and our mild-mannered son-in-law got quite mad, telling us through the garage (20 feet away) that if we do that now, then we will have risked all they have done for us to keep us safe: seeing us go grocery shopping, even once, is not an option for them or us. They do all the shopping and would have it no other way. So that’s my mantra too, now. It’s like being a hormone charged pair of teenagers. “Just once won’t matter, honey. It’ll be okay.” NOT! NOPE! NEVER! NO ‘OOPS’!

That made me LOL in a really literal way. It’s eye-opening to be forced into making a distinction between what we actually need to do vs. what we want to do, or what might be convenient. Glad to hear you are staying in and staying safe!

Four weeks today and counting. Just for fun we drive by grocery stores to see how busy they are. And we go for walks and stay far away from others. I haven’t felt this healthy in years!
