Hope it’s a lovely day for you.
Things are still pretty difficult for my family. Mom’s pretty weak so one day I had to go over and help her get up from the toilet. So…there’s my glamorous life these days. I pray each day that she passes in her sleep for all of us but especially her. This all so robs humans of their dignity late in life and it’s just…unfair. To make it to 94 only to experience this? Just…ugh.
I am sorry to bring this up in my Happy Easter message.
I got my first vaccine dose and am due for the next April 19th. The first was a breeze other than a slightly sore arm so hopefully I won’t jinx myself with the second. M’s sister who was visiting us went home and she just got her second of the Moderna. So far other than a very sore arm, she just feels super tired.
Still behind on updates. Sorry. But I did get my first chapter ready for Monday’s new Starfleet Academy Fic. It’s a bit of an AU, I mean even more than you might expect, but I think you will really like the direction it takes.
Looks like I will be going back into the office part time in the summer sometime. I think it’s going to be a hybrid kind of thing. M’s still looking for a new job.
Anyway it’s perfect weather here. Spring has arrived full bloom.

You have perfect weather….we had snow. But itβs gone now!
My heart goes out to you and your family, and especially mom. You nailed it when you said it robs dignity and it is so unfair. Sending you all my love and peaceful thoughts and good vibes and you navigate this. And especially to mom.
Happy Easter honey.
Looking forward to the fic!

Big hugs.
I’m sorry you are going through all that with your mom. I know its not easy to watch a loved one go through that.
My mom got her first phizer shot. Goes back the 19th as well for hers.
I am looking forward to the new Starfleet Academy fic π as well as any and all updates.
Fingers crossed M finds a new job soon!
I wish the weather was perfect here. We had three days of lovely warm spring weather and now two days of cold wintery weather. I want to be able to put my winter coat up for good.
Happy Easter!

It truly is so unfair. I’m so sorry.
How is M’s eye?
They’re saying now that even just the first dose is providing immunity, even against variants. So hopefully there’s just no way to jinx anything!
Thank you for sharing with us. You know we all are thinking of you, and wondering how it’s going.
Happy Easter to you too!

Still recovering. Doesn’t see as well out of it as hoped, but maybe it will improve? We hope so.
Yes I heard it was as much as 80% even after first shot. β€
Happy Easter

Happy Easter!
It doesn’t seem fair that anyone has to go through things like that, not your mother or you. I wish you and your family all the best.
I’m far away from getting the vaccine, ask me again in June. So I doubt I’ll go back to the office on this side of summer. I don’t really mind at this point, to be honest. And even then I don’t think we’ll ever be back to 100%.
I’m looking forward to the Academy fic. π

Yes same with me, doubt we will be back full time every day in the office ever again. I sure hope not! I like working from home to be honest. I know and I am so sorry about the Astra Zenecca fiasco over there where you are. Are there no other makers of vaccines in the UK?

Hugs to you and your family. I fully understand how you feel. I experienced what youβre going through with your mom 2 1/2 years ago with my dad. So difficult! π Still hurts my soul even to this time.
Holidays, At the best of times, always make me feel very depressed. Today is no exception. My shoulder hurts less but I still donβt have full range of motion. At least itβs my left shoulder, my non-dominant arm. My plan is to return to work Monday night. No diagnosis, until I eventually get the MRI.
My twins are still home from college until Tuesday. My older daughter, is in her apartment in the city with a friend staying with her. Sheβs dealing with increasing anxiety and depression and seems basically incapable of doing much else to help herself. It just breaks my heart
Happy Easter to you and your family. And a return to something more like the days before Covid!
