Adorable pic, tim. But, boy that little ducky sure asks a lot of questions!

Good morning, all.

About to jump on a 1/2 hour long call where I'm madly taking notes the whole time. Guzzling my second coffee.

Let the day commence!

Be careful. Writer's cramp is detrimental to you working on the important stuff....like your story with tim. 

Stretch your fingers often, crack your knuckles, and don't write so frantically that the lactic acid builds up and your hand explodes! You'll also have trouble holding your coffee!

Excuse me Good Sirs and DiC friends.

just wanted to stop in and say ‘hi’

wishing everyone a Good Day

How are things with you?

[Brayon]

Update from my Mom. Her roommate passed away due to Covid-19. And more employees have tested positive (8 total since it started, most in the front office, and 2 have been agency nurses that they are STILL using. WTF!). She's been tested several times now, and has been negative each time. But, she's under quarantine. Can't even go outside to smoke. (Which I have no issues with, she should have quit years ago, but it's her choice.)

That said, I'll be around, maybe, perhaps, who knows.

Good afternoon, rick. The weather is still really nice, so all is good with me at the moment. I hope your day is going well, and you're feeling better.

Sorry to hear this news about your mom’s roommate. I’ll be thinking good thoughts for both your mom and you.

Sorry to hear this, A. Really tough when it's out of your control. Hopefully, the care facility will continue to vigorously monitor, test and follow all safety and health guidelines to keep your mom and other residents and staff safe. All the positive juju coming your way.

Oh, geez. I'm sorry A. Yeah, that happened here. They stopped people from working in more than one home because it was being carried around. I hope you mom is able to stay safe.  xoxox

I wish your mom stay safe and healthy.  It's very stressful in the mindset of that unknown, so just make sure she's alright (though smoking is no good but if she needs to de-stress herself...).

I sent this to Peter. When he was a little kid he always wanted a duck. Maybe it will give him a smile.

Aw shit. Not what you want to hear. I am glad she is okay. I will send you positive thoughts, A.  Hold on there, my friend. 

[Brayon]

Thank you, everyone. I'm really trying not to panic right now, and according to Mom, her roommate was asymptomatic until the last 24 hours.

Had a in person Dr. Appointment today, due to asthma acting up, and got swabbed for Covid-19 testing anyway. It'll be my second test since the pandemic started. I told the doc it was all the dust from Africa that started it, but it just hadn't cleared up from it.

Breathe .. try some yoga breathing exercises to help calm you.  As you have asthma this one may be of help to you.

Thanks for sharing this. I sent the link to my husband who is severely asthmatic. There's  nothing worse than watching someone you love trying to just breathe and there's nothing you can do.

I hope it helps a little bit. Practice regularly. Breathe, close your eyes and be calm.
