Did I come here to write more than once in April? I don’t know. I could look to see but it’s not really that important. I have been around and here and there on the Internet of the World.

Are you staying safe? Are you avoiding the virus or did you become victim to it and live to tell? I was sick but not sure what it was since I am not brave enough to go to the Urgent Care center like my doctor’s office told me to. They told me to do that because I’m never sick and hadn’t been there in so long that they have me categorized as inactive. So, all I can do is go to Urgent Care or make an appointment then they’ll add me back in.

The nerve of some places, right? Punish the healthy.

I had a nasty sore throat that evolved from a week of a scratchy throat. It was awful and got worse even after my virtual visit online with a nurse practitioner which was provided through a portal connected to our health insurance company. Do you know how hard it is to take photos of your own tonsils? When I did it was rather hilarious to look at them on my phone. The photos came back around the other day. They need to be deleted.

I got a prescription for a week of penicillin that slowly did the job. The ugly tonsils were still there two weeks later but the pain was gone. My diagnosis is that I will be here for a while yet.

My family has had a loss due to the evil Covid-19. A cousin on my mom’s side who is a few years older than myself. He was a healthy athletic kind of guy who was diagnosed as having bronchitis. I think a lot of the Covid-19 victims start out that way. Who knew what all the symptoms are? He ended up on a ventilator and didn’t win. When someone you know loses the battle it becomes real.

I’m appalled at the behavior of a whole lot of people here in the US. General population and politicians who speak up and make it appear as if their own personal lives and monetary needs are more important than others’ families’. When did we become so mean and ornery? As they say, we’re all pretty much in the same predicament here and I certainly wouldn’t want to force your sister back to work at a hair salon so that people can get their hair cut or colored. Is it that bad to just be yourself as you are meant to be for a short time?

A Short Time.

That’s all this is unless we keep perpetuation going on and on.

Don’t make your time shorter.
