I'm no longer a caregiver, can I still post here?
Church is streaming in 14 minutes at 11:00 - eff it, I still haven't gotten dressed and I am seriously contemplating crawling back in bed for the rest of day :(

Horse racing has a full calendar at Santa Anita Racetrack and at Belmont, running Sunday. (not for the first time, but I just discovered it.)
Does anyone know how to watch live streaming?
I don't need to bet, just love watching. Such beautiful animals!

Lol CWillie,
Are you really sure No ONE will know?

How is everybody tonight?

My church is streaming on Facebook. I like being able to go to church in my jammies with a cup of coffee at my side. Plus I can exercise during the sermon or go for a pee break and nobody will ever know (except everybody here 😜)

Lu.
good plan, jammies.

Ways to preserve our sanity:
1) Less news on T.V.
2) Less judging others.
3) Acceptance of ourselves and our emotions, or lack of emotions.
4) Get busy in the kitchen, distract ourselves.
5) Take a walk outside.
6) Write it all out, like a journal, but honestly.
7) Take a shower.
8) Focus on something other than ourselves.
9) Build, repair, or accomplish something.
10) Keep wild imaginings to a minumum.

I will be barefoot, or wearing sandals.

Send,

Good point. There are ‘hidden’ blessings. I feel there will be lessons learned throughout this ordeal.

What to wear? Good question! I think I will get dressed. I don’t think Jesus will care, either way. I want to feel like it’s Easter morning even if the service will be in my living room instead of church.

The truth is that we the people are the church, not the physical building. Temples were very important, all houses of worship are beautiful and meaningful.

In the early days, services were held in homes just like we will be doing tomorrow. Well, there wasn’t television but it’s the same principle.

I feel that we will appreciate our Easter celebrations in a way that we haven’t before.

Staying at home, NHWM, has brought all those pastors and servants at the many churches who have never had a Sunday at home with their families a time to be together on an Easter Sunday.
That in itself is a good reason for sacrificing a few Sundays at church, imo.

Yes, this is a special time, with special blessings. I hope that for you too. It will be good to watch the church services on t.v.

But I need to ask, what to wear? Will we be in our jammies, or get dressed up?

My husband was making oatmeal. He burned it, tried to hide it.

Send,

Sometimes. I think that is a very normal, human reaction. I feel a mix of emotions. I don’t think I could pinpoint exactly how I feel. It truly is a range of emotions, anywhere from boredom to concern.

I understand people having feelings of boredom. I do not understand a cavalier attitude. That’s totally different.

I have genuine concern but have not experienced panic. I know that I am following all of the regulations in place, therefore doing all that I possibly can.

I miss certain things. I suppose that leads to passing feelings of boredom. I am keeping my spirits up by having faith and hope in better days ahead.

I think there will be a silver lining in this horrible situation. It has brought forth and continues to bring forth compassionate behavior in many people.

I have to giggle when some of my friends call me and confess to wanting to smack their husbands. Too funny! I have heard some funny stories about clueless husbands.

Guessing no one has been bored yet. I am really surprised that I caved in to boredom so soon, today. No one else is just bored? 🐵🐒🙈🙉🙊

Yeah,I'm right here Send and thanks for the prayers~
It was a Mediacom man that acted VERY badly when he came last Friday to fix a wire he said and then he disconnected us and drove off,leaving us with no computer,no phone and no Tv for the last 4 days.
I'm used to bad storms and tornado's,but this Pandemic is mighty scary and to not be able to contact anyone or hear any news was about more than I could take.
I think the animals liked it though since they got all our attention.Anyway,we're ok and thanks~

Cwillie, I wouldn’t bother trying to convince your sister not to go to work. You mentioned she is a essential employee so she needs to go to work, and her DH even though he is high risk, is out shopping and running errands.

Report

It's complicated NHWM - sister is an extrovert, she truly needs her work, plus her job is in long term care so even though she doesn't deal with caring for the residents it is an essential service.
As for the hoard - both of them have a problem, with sis it is more like classic hoarding but with BIL shopping for food is one of his problems, we've had to throw out tons of expired food and the cupboards, fridges and freezers (yeah, more than one of each) are still jammed.

Report

That’s a shame, cwille. You tried to encourage them to listen to reason. No one should be hoarding anything. It’s selfish and inconsiderate of others who need supplies too. And why is she still working? Is she required to work?
(1)
Report

We've been giving my sister a hard time for still going to work when her DH at home is at high risk, well today he was once again out and about shopping at multiple stores and running errands, this despite the fact they have enough hoarded food and supplies for years (and I do mean hoarded). Whatever, I should know by now there's no point trying to help stupid and stubborn😶.

Plan B could be just about anything Send. Every time I do my business in the bathroom now I look at the t p with a whole new appreciation. Who knew? Something we all took for granted is now the topic of conversation. Lol

Thanks 97Mom.
I was thinking of trying to hide some TP so I know when we are on our last roll. A TP Caddy, huh. Is that what they are called?

Maybe people who knit or crochet could be making some for gifts.
Ha Ha, can you imagine? Getting a nicely home made knitted caddy to hold the TP you don't have? Joke gifts.

Have you seen CWillie's new avatar? Rescue St. Bernard dogs with TP rolls around their necks. Too funny. I had to enlarge it to see the TP.

This is such a fun distraction. Years from now, the virus won't even be remembered, but the 2020 TP Crisis will be.

Maybe someone will invent a new product. We have a new 'Little Green Cleaning Machine.' Maybe that would work as a portable Bidet, with steam! Or not.

Gershun has mentioned a plan B on her avatar. What is PLAN B,
anyway?

Inquiring brats want to know.

Ok Sendhelp

I just noticed your new earrings. Too cute.

Oops you took them off. The TP caddy is also cute. I remember my Grannie had one. Hers was yellow.

Happy BD CWillie

Apparently Dollarama is an essential store - well yes, they do sells some grocery items - so I have not been cut off from my supply of chocolate bars, chips and candy. So far I've been able to resist the temptation.
