how about drinking?

Hi all, quick check in. I’m doing fine, still struggling with swallowing and occasional nausea/vomiting but dealing with it. I have several streaming services, so I shouldn’t get too bored for a while.
Wishing you all well
-
Glad so many folks have been checking in so we know you are ok. I had the CT scan today and the MO said everything looked great. No cancer that he could see anywhere. He agreed that chemo would be kinda silly. So I get to continue the chemo vacay until June. We will do more scans and see what is happening then.Cannot really go out to celebrate, but will have a steak dinner here with wine!
Our governor just said no groups larger than three people on the beaches. Some of the barrier islands have closed to persons not living there. The fear is the Spring Break crazies will come here since Florida is closing beaches. Things get crazier everyday.
Stay safe!

I'm ok, read and caught up but tired tonight, I'll see you all in the morning

Hi all - I have not read all the above posts, so am just posting to say all is well in my world, and I am wishing the same for everyone - here and everywhere!! I am praying that people who are not taking this seriously will gain the sense they need to understand that this virus impacts ALL of us in one way or another. I will say that this self isolation gets to me, but have not yet considered the early demise of my DH
Have a safe, healthy, happy weekend - Cheers!

Bob's finally getting masks, paper gowns & gloves but not N95s. He lost one of his nursing home patients today--the ex-wife of the family doc rehabbing after a leg amputation. She had an autoimmune disease (polymalgia rheumatica, PMR) for decades and most recently congestive heart failure. She developed thrush but had a sudden arrhythmia that killed her (likely from a "cytokine storm").
Ordered out tonight from Cellars--the chef/owner actually delivered it. One of the things was a DIY martini: a bottle of vodka, a little cup of vermouth and some stuffed (pimiento, blue cheese) olives on toothpicks. Killed off that bottle of François Montand brut.

On a drinking related note: some bourbon distilleries in Central KY and Louisville have temporarily shifted to making hand sanitizer to help combat the coronavirus pandemic. Imagine other distillers across the US could do this also.
Just heard that P&G production facilities for diapers, Charmin, Bounty are being allowed to remain open even in those states on lockdown.
-
Janky - early demise of DH? Wait, what ?
-
Jazzy, I saw the "wink" emoticon after janky's "early demise" remark. Close quarters make grouchy bedfellows...
Koval Distilleries in my neighborhood (owned by a longtime member of our temple whom I first met at her Bat Mitzvah) has switched its production from booze (excellent booze) to hand sanitizer--but only for healthcare workers & facilities.
-
Jazzy, interesting about the new contract are the same people you were trying to work with a few weeks ago. And even stranger that they say that hiring out of certain locations is not an issue. Regardless, I know you will find something, you always do! I have a neibor that has his gun strapped to him 24/7 I think. I asked him one time if he slept with it on. I mean he would come to neighborly gatherings with it, like a Christmas dinner for instance! We only got a dusting of snow.
JCS, lots of people are going to be out of work....LOTS! This is just crazy! Gosh, I can never get a tech to tell me anything about my scans, so I quit asking.
Janky, that's awesome that you have your kids to do your shopping you.
Sandy, scary to know that youngin could be out spreading the virus helter skelter!
Karen, of course your DD would make the best of her birthday, given the circumstances. When is she "supposed" to return home?
NM, relax and enjoy your weekend with Sadie. And that is out rageous that some of the staff members aren't wearing their masks correctly, are they that stupid? And if they are, they shouldn't be working there. Good grief.
Cami, the closest thing to us is a Dollar General in town, 1/2 hour away and out rageously expensive! I assume Joey is home? I know you are liking that! Only 5 people in the store at one time? I can't imagine how long it would take to get everyone in.
BabyGirl, glad that check in and let us know how you are doing. I only wish it were better news. You are a trooper for sure.
Jazzy, no need for worry on Janky and the demise of her DH. She is talking about having to be with him 24/7. And Sandy confirmed as well.
Shopping yesterday went without incident. Wore cloth gloves when getting out of the car, and took them off before getting back in. Hand sanitizer then as well, washing anytime we were near a sink and DH did the same when pumping gas and then went in and washed his hands. Got everything we needed, stores were well stocked and not many people in there at all. DH has a dr appt in Flagstaff in a couple weeks and wants to get a room. I said no, I don't want to stay in a hotel room at this point in time. I'm not stupid!

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunny Saturday! I've got to admit I did enjoy a bit of a sleep in and a nice morning cuddle session with Sadie this ayem. And I'm relieved to not be going in to work today or tomorrow. Everyone is getting scared and anxious and rumors and bad info are flying around like mad, and people aren't paying attention to the things they can do like they should, and residents are getting upset about not being able to have visitors, and we have the whole run of usual stuff going on--residents with coughs because their congestive heart failure or COPD is acting up, rumors that we've run out of hand sanitizer (we haven't) or won't be able to get medications delivered (we will, delivery is considered critical infrastructure), staff suddenly finding out they know someone who has been tested and are assuming they are exposed (no your sister in another state being tested does not mean you have been exposed), and some staff who honestly believe that if they are exposed they will die. I came home so exhausted, as much emotionally as physically, last night. And on my way home last night I noticed so many businesses closed, and so much less traffic on the streets, and it hit me that the world really feels different right now. So this weekend I am going to allow myself two check in times per day for the virus stuff, and the rest of the time will be house work, Sadie stuff, audio books, Netflix, or DVDS. Giving my brain and my emotions a break to recharge before jumping back in the front line next week. I've become the information distribution person, getting info from the CDC, my admin folks, and WHO, and relaying it to all the staff in as many ways as possible and as often as possible. Going to spend a lot of time walking around talking to scared and upset people. . . .
The people I really feel sorry for, though, are the grocery store workers and delivery people. They are getting so much flack and are at such high risk of exposure, and no one really appreciates how much worse this whole thing would be if they weren't working.
Sadie says "Woof" to everyone, and is willing to bank a belly rub for every worry you have, and she will dissolve the worry as her belly gets rubbed!And she is demanding belly rubs every 30 minutes today!I'm setting an alarm so I don't miss a single belly rub session!
Cammy Cat--It is beginning to feel a bit like being in a disaster movie at work! The spring breakers are crazy, and don't even know how much of a crisis they are going to create when they all head home and trigger a second wave of infections. And they will never connect their selfishness with the death of their grandparents or other older family members. But that's typical of that age range, I suppose.
Karen--I hope your friend can stay safe, too.
Illie--what are you watching? Anything fun? I'm looking for ideas of things to watch while I clean house this weekend. Preferably not movies like Outbreak, or Contagion!
Librarian--Hooray for good scan results!Hope the spring breakers stay away, and glad to hear that beaches are being closed or limited.
Genny--Good Morning!
Janky--I'm sure the self-isolation is tedious, but I'm glad you are doing it.Thank you. Glad all is well inyour world.
Chi--Sorry to hear about Bob losing a patient. Never easy. I like the idea of a DIY cocktail. Could be a fun way to spend some time!
Celia--wow, I would never have thought about distilleries shifting to hand sanitizer! Someone out there was thinking!
Goldie--I actually understand the people not wearing the masks correctly. If you've never worn one for a long period of time they get very stuffy and hard to breathe through after a while, especially in a setting that is already very hot (like many nursing homes, and mine in particular). It gets to feeling very smothering. At this point it's probably better to leave a mask off then to keep touching it to move it up and down/on and off your nose. And people are starting to complain to admin about me ragging on them to keep the mask up and hand sanitize after touching it. Ah, well, letting that go for the weekend.
Cherry Blossom
• 1 3/4 oz gin
• 1/2 oz rose & vanilla-infused dry vermouth (recipe below)
• 3 1/2 tablespoons cherry jam
• 1/4 oz lemon juice
• 1 bar spoon simple syrup
Add all ingredients into a shaker with ice. Shake vigorously to break up the jam for 15 seconds. Using a hawthorn strainer into a coupe glass, double strain through a tea strainer to make the cocktail more clear. Garnish with organic cherry blossoms or other edible flowers like rose petals.

Hello, hello – only 8 more to go (days of self isolation), but then what?? In order to stay healthy and help prevent the spread of this virus, I am not foreseeing much more of a social life than I am currently undergoing
Jazzy – chi and goldie are correct, I did wink as I mentioned DH's demise –I am not used to being in such continuously close contact with only him and me, well maybe back in those early years of marriage, ha ha.
Goldie – I was horrified at the prices in Dollar General, the name of the shop is very misleading. Yes my kids have been very supportive, though I am thinking when my quarantine is lifted, they probably won't want to be even socially distanced close to us, which is fine, for now. I'm with you, I would not want to stay in a hotel room right now either!
JCS – I am glad your beaches came up with a more sensible plan as I imagine they would have been the next target for the 'breakers'.
Illimae – I am glad that you are checking in and doing okay in as much as dealing with inability to swallow and nausea allow
Hi to celia, teka, genny, Karen and anyone I have missed! Stay healthy, happy and have a great weekend! Cheers! Janice

Mornin; ladies,
Kim glad ur home, now put ur mind at rest an let it be home with u and Sadie. U've got lots going on during the week, at least give urself 2 days of just u and Sadie. An I agree with u about TV OUTBREAK, oh let's all watch that one. I stick with a lot of comedies and supernatural, and either way u get a good laugh.
Jazzy I thought the same thing about "the death of a husband" and thought why din't I know this. but now that's funny.
Illi glad u checked in sound a little better but I know u have a way to go. This has to be so hard on u.
JC good news, happy to hear that. That waiting is chit.
Sandy u made ur own drinks??? Sounds like fun <kinda> U 2 are still going out??? What's the story here. LOL Well good Bob got some protective gear to wear, about time.
Lori how r u doing U sound good. It's funny but I read the whole country's reports from here and it tells me a lot, except we are all in a bout the exact same place right now, which is not good. I saw a video on FB with people at the store buying TP and there was pushing, people on the floor, crowds fighting grabbing out of others hands...it was horrendous and then u think how much more will these young people bring back to their area and this will just be a longer delay. <I just had to make coffee>
Marty just came home from work an said that there were lines like cray around the grocery stores , a few others but lots of things just closed. Places are offering truck driver jobs for delivery to stores an don't need a truck license right now, there isn't enough time. Holy Chit, everyone stay off the roads. Even every few hrs. things are changing From being with 10 then 5 now 3 people. People with work are cancelling, except if it's an emergency <I don't blame them> I'm sure i tol u about the elderly woman who called an cancelle and ended up talking to me for 2 hrs. I know she was afraid an living alone but I couldn't help her. And the stupid men send me pics. with them not wearing gloves just to aggravate me. See why I go cray very easily.
OK I'm blabbering I started this post so long ago, I don't even know what I'm talking about. OK here's a thing with my computer to tell u,,,keys that are hard to work---D, Z, X, Q, 4, 7 so past tense will no doubt be missing a D, get used to it. LOL
LUBS U ALL

Hi friends- checking in here after a busy week. My work opps are really coming together now. The one with the firm that originally said they could not hire me due to my geographic location (yes they are here in town) and this other thing that came at me a few weeks ago. One in healthcare, the other in tech. I got clear with myself what I want yesterday and think in the next couple weeks or sooner, I should have what I am going to do next short term (or maybe longer term) in place.
I am going to keep everything else here light as this is a scary time for most everyone. I have caught up on everyone's updates and pray each of you continues to stay Covid free.
-
Hi girls, hope you're all doing ok with sheltering in place. Never thought I'd be so happy to walk my dogs! Feels like a true outing now. I had my last day of work yesterday so I am officially retired, very bittersweet, I envisioned taking my dogs which all of my customers love for frequent visits but that will have to wait. I did get to go to the pub (in the facility) for a last glass of wine with some of my residents, and I even excepted a couple of hugs, loaded up my supplies and handed the garage door opener to my replacement. And so it's done. I'm on my 3rd week of Ibrance and feeling pretty fatigued so it's a good time to do it, plus my white blood count is pretty low, 2 more days then I get a week off. DH has been cooking up a storm, some low carb, some not but it's all been delicious! The worse part for me is the idea of not getting to babysit, I was really looking forward to seeing more of the kids, their mom is not working, she's a dental assistant but they've shut down and she's applied for disability. My son says it hasn't affected his work at all, he's a hazmat truck driver, hauls fuel to the truck stops and he's as busy as ever.
Cami, I loved your analogy of The Twilight Zone with no Rod Serling, ain't it the truth! It's pretty surreal. I have plenty of wine and toilet paper so I'm good to go for awhle.
Jazzy, hope the new contract works out, full time tech job? Is that from home? 60th birthday sounds like one you won't quickly forget, hope you get to celebrate like you want sooner rather than later!
Janky, early demise of your DH made me laugh, maybe you both need to take more walks...alone!
NM, I've seen people with masks covering just their mouth but it never occured to me that medical people would do that..frightening! At our facility the mailman refused to have his temperature taken, I'm not sure why except maybe he was looking for a way to not have to come in. So now the mail gets dropped off and the office people have to figure out how to get it n the cluster boxes. Yea, I think these spring breakers have a big shock in store for them. And I hear you about Sadie, my dogs are perfectly happy with the new rules, I took them to the metropark for a 3 1/2 mile walk this morning, it was only in the 30's but with my gym closed at least it's something.
Lori, that neighbor sounds kinda scary but I guess better to have the gun and not need it than the other way around. Oh and thnks for the update on Sue, glad to know she is ok!
Karen, ugh, snow, you can keep it! I just wish we'd get some sunshine, it's so gray and depressing here, but that's Cleveland this time of year.
JCS, glad to hear about your son's new IT job and your younger son's new job albeit in the future. I haven't seen any TP in any store for ages, luckily my DH went to Costco for the megapak right before this all started. My MIL goes to Walgreen's all the time and she finds 4 paks, my DH says she's got enough to last until she's 95! Woohoohoo on the good scans!!! enjoy that steak and wine!
Celia, love the whatever kitty.
Sandy, thanks for the explanation, I did not know about pulsatile tinnitus, mine is like a tuning fork in my head with days that I get clicking added in, it's maddening but only dangerous if it makes me want to run my head into the wall.
Ill, thanks for checking in, hope better days are coming soon.
Okay so I started this early this morning and I see some new posts have come in since then so I'm going to post this now and read more later, been decluttering the basement and I've got a bit of a mess.... hugs and kisses, stay safe!

Bob has to go out to work (various hospitals & an HMO--his practice's office is closed), but I'm basically just getting stuff delivered. Had planned to go out for just a long walk to & from nowhere in particular, but it's too cold out.
Re: drugstore deliveries--Bob phoned in a refill to CVS for my Baclofen (which came up online "requires physician renewal") but won't go pick it up unless it's filled--he says "call to make sure it's ready." (hahahaha). Their automated voicemail system has no record of it being "in process." I've been on hold now for nearly an hour. Every now & then it sounds like someone's picking up (I even hear someone take a breath, about to speak), but it immediately goes back to "ads & music on hold." GRRRR!!! Lately, even before the pandemic, they had their staff slashed and stuff that says "ready for pickup" online is still "in process" when I get there. I suspect that within 4 days, I will start getting backaches & muscle spasms for at least a week.
-
Don't want to jinx it, but Gordy texted to say his job survived the first wave of layoffs. Fingers crossed!
-
-
Jazzy - lovely music. I can't say that "no one ever told me". More like I never believed them. How about "Fools rush in - where wise men fear to tread..."
Two glasses of Chateau St. Michelle cab from the Columbia Valley. Trying to finish off this bottle so I can go back the Carson Ridge cab from Paso Robles. Or Thousand Stories Zin - truly a lovely wine.
-
I am pretty sure this why I moved out West

Seth McFarlane is one of those maddeningly polymath guys (cute too) whom you'd love to hate but can't because he is so NICE. He should've been given a second chance at hosting another awards show, not just the Oscars. None of those coming up for awhile, alas.
It's freezing cold here today (never topped 30F), but along about 7-ish I suddenly heard singing and saw people coming outside, sans coats, on to their stoops holding their cellphones and belting at the tops of their lungs--it was the inaugural "Sing Out Night," and the song was Bon Jovi's "Livin' On a Prayer," streamed live online. As a boomer, when it comes to Jersey rock I'm more of a Boss/Little Steven/Southside Johnny kinda gal, so I'd never really followed Bon Jovi to the same extent as do Gen-Xers. Still inspiring nonetheless.
I did give in and have a couple oz. of a 2017 Alsace riesling with last night's leftover salmon, wedge salad and hot & sour soup (the latter part of the bounty Bob brought in from the pan-Asian joint around the corner). Loaded with leftovers for tomorrow night!

Mornin ladies,
I pretty much can guess we're all in our usual places not going any place.
Jeez Mary that's a lot of walking, I'm glad ur up for it. Ur weather is alot like mine, but yesterday the sun actually came out, shocker aroun here. No more work, it feels strange at first but u get used to it. It's really when u start loosing what day it is, they all roll together.
Jazzy I didn't listen yet but I will. U sound like ur going to be busy very soon, so that's good.
Sandy good for Gordy <that's all I'll say> Wow Bob sounds like he's really all over the place. Just asking but u order out, does that bother u at all, or u just pick it up, just how do u work this out. When it comes to food I have to know all my options. And I do enjoy hearing about all of the wine that happens here, just wish I drank.
I would think the restaurants are starving <get it> right now, especially the buffets <which sounds good right now> anyway all these people who depend on tips. I did that for years an made good money and if it stopped that was it. Joey does his work on the computer now every day so they don't loose any days. It works out good cuz it keeps him a little busy. We talk for a while and he helps me with this crazy room I live in and my puter. He sees one of his friends cu his mom an dad do pretty much what Les and Marty do nothing. He can work from home and his mom doesn't work, so we're all stuck in. Good thing Marty works alone and mostly works outside an takes his lunch. I probably said all this before so get used to it. Everyone I talk to no matter what state is on lockdown.
OK I'll lock this down and check in later.
LUBS U ALL

NM, I do understand about the masks, only because of wearing them in the past. I wear glasses alot of the time, and they fogged up my glasses! I hated that.
Janky, normally I would just go along with my husband and get the hotel room....but not right now. If he really insisted, I think I would have to tell him that he could go alone then. And he has low immunce due to RA.
Cami, my neighbor went to the store the other day, late in the afternoon and she said people would jump in front of you to grab something before you could. Pretty soon they will be shooting someone over TP! 2 hours on the phone with a customer? Sorry about your letters that don't work on your keyboard. Blab away my love! Oh, aren't you the funny one! "I would think the restaurants are starving <get it> right now"
Jazzy, good news on the work front. How is your sister feeling? I know you said earlier she wasn't feeling well. I assume she is not allowed at the nursing home to see her partner, and I assume she is probably doing about the same? Good reason to move out west!!!
Mary, how sweet you were able to have wine with some customers. Sorry you can't see the girls. The neighbor with the gun doesn't scare me, but really, you have to bring it to a neighborly Christmas gathering. Where we all know one another and it's only like 10 people!
Sandy, rediculous how long people have to wait on the phone for things and not just prescriptions. Pretty cool about the neighbors coming out to sing.
Had to fix a section of our fence yesterday, a cow got through. Today we are planting onions. They will do ok with the cold night temps.
-
Lori- Even before the lockdown/social distancing started, DD#2 wasn't sure when she would be in Denver for a visit. Depends if she needs to take classes over the summer. It could be August, it could be September/October. G-d willing we will be able to go see her this summer and DH and I take a mini vacation as well. He has his 2 week post op visit with surgeon on Thursday and then 2 weeks later with cardiologist. Hopefully we'll have more answers. I'm hoping and praying that by end June or July (3/12 - 4 months post surgery), he'll be able to fly overseas, pending the horrid, horrid Covid-19 is done. My other kids have cancelled their plans to come for Passover so the 2 S Sedars and all Passover meals will just be DH and me. We are not inviting people for meals, and we are not accepting invitations out. This is the first time, none of the kids will be here. But first and foremost is staying healthy. Then we will have lots more holidays to celebrate together.
DH doesn't even want me to go to the grocery store - I went a couple times last week and got in an out quickly. So either i'm going to order or take advantage of early shopping at 7-8am for senior or those at risk. DH is definitely at risk and we are both past 60. Funny with the Covid-19 they say over 60 is old, but the cardiologist and cardiothoracic surgeon said he was young at 64!! And yes, we are young!!
So far hunkering down in the house/social distancing hasn't been too bad as we have lots of friends checking in on us - mostly by text and a few phone calls.
My dental cleaning for this week was cancelled as ADA told dental offices to close for at least 2 weeks. Re-scheduled for latter part of May. I have 6 month check up with breast medical oncologist on Thursday. I'm waiting them to cancel it, but so far no call. I had labs 3 weeks ago and saw my other oncologist on the 13th so not too worried. All our Rx are mail ordered so that shouldn't be a problem. I've been ordering on Amazon - several orders over the past few week. So much easier than going out.
Stay safe and stay healthy.

Good Morning, Loungettes!Happy Sunny Sunday! Sadie is snoozing away on the ottoman in a patch of nice warm sun. I've got some nice warm sun coming in the window onto my back. Stepped outside for a bit, the breeze is still pretty cold. I will be glad to see some greening up starting. Mud season has definitely arrived.
Janky--I'm not sure what will be available to you after your self-isolation. Things keep getting shut down here in Maine. I think we're down to no crowds over 10 people, but I've got to look that up and be sure.
Cammy--'m actually listening to audio books instead of watching TV. I love getting lost in some favorite stories, and mentally creating new worlds while listening to new stories. It's like being in an entirely different place and time. LOL at the sicky keyboard keys! Don't let the monkeys drive you cray cray!
Jazzy--Hooray for having opportunities and for knowing what you want! I hope you are getting as much sun as I am this weekend. I hear there's a Nor'Easter coming early in the week, so that will be lots of rain to make for a very wet mud season. Which I am actually kind of looking forward to --Lots of baths with Sadie!
Genny--the last day at the job must have been emotional. So much happening for you right now. Sorry to hear about the fatigue and low white blood cell count, hope it all evens out for you. So nice DH can cook! Not being able to babysit is the pitts. Some people are trying to take advantage of the situation, I wonder if your mailman is one of them. Some people just get so self-centered during a crisis.
Chi--prescription filling is always a chore, never seems to run smoothly. Hope you get yours before the back spasms start. And Hooray for Gordy getting past the first wave of layoffs!
Minus--Those wine names sound lovely all by themselves!
Jazzy--nice song!
Chi-there are lots of stories of things like the "Sing Out Night" starting to crop up. I think it's great!
Cammy Cat-- a treadmill minute is ALWAYS longer than a microwave minute!
Goldie--masks do fog up glasses, big time, that was actually one of the reasons I changed from glasses to contacts, so I could see better at work!

Hi, Karen, didn't mean to bump you into the pool! Getting in and out of grocery stores quickly is a good idea. I'm planning to start using the order online/get the order delivered to the car option from now on.Except for my milk and cream, the local store that carries the milk from the specific dairy I like doesn't do the outside delivery thing. Maybe if enough of us ask they will!

Karen, we are staying put and don't want any visitors nor will we visit anyone. Which neither happens much anyways! Hopefully you and DH will get that trip. Praying for a quick recovery for him.
NM, Sadie looks perfectly content and not a worry in the world. As for contacts, I can't wear them anymore, due to terrible astigmatism. Plus, I am on the computer alot, for business, and I can't see things up close when wearing glasses or contacts. But...we are staying put, so no need for any masks for us.
