Good morning,
Will just called Steven, who’s up north at the cabin, quarantining by himself with one of his two Rhodesian Ridgebacks, Flix. I felt somewhat relieved to hear that Steven’s sinus headache is not as intense, today. He’s expecting to receive an email containing the results of his CT scan, which he’ll then forward to me, and after Will reads the report, we’ll talk with Steven, again.
Steven also said that five of his six employees came down with COVID, last week, as did he. The only employee who is not infected had been absent from Steven’s law office, a week ago, Monday and Tuesday, following which everyone else became symptomatic. Over these past couple of years, Lupe (Celina’s mom) has worked for Steven, and she has a mild case of Covid, too.
I’ve not yet heard from Barry to find out how he (still with COVID) and Marie (over COVID but now with the flu) are feeling, today, or when the boys, who have returned from their father’s (who is insistent that they be returned to him on their court appointed days, COVID or not) can return to school. Their Dad (known to be a superspreader, sent his sons to school on Monday, knowing that Tony had still tested positive for covid on Sunday). They return to their father’s house at 5pm, today. What a mess! No wonder, over the years, Barry has learned to insulate his blood pressure from bursting through vessels, being that he’s learned, during lengthy custody battles, over these past nine years, how blind the courts in CA tend to be to what’s actually best for the kids.
For the most part, other than texting, David’s been quiet these last couple of days, and most importantly, he’s healthy.
These past three months have been deeply troubling, all around. I felt need to take an Adivan, today.
Just as the state of my family’s well-being permeates my thoughts, every day, this has been such a terribly worrisome time for everyone throughout the world that I remain in awe of the fact that COVID has been empowered to create such a mess of millions of lives for close to two years with the light at the end of the tunnel still out of sight.
Though a widespread sweep concerning belief in masks and vaccinations would have seen us working together to shorten the length of this global pandemic, change for the better has not yet relegated this highly contagious virus to our rear view mirrors, being that the millions of stubborn closed minds continue to ignore well tested, medical guidelines, which—had these guidelines been readily absorbed—would have deemed us so seaworthy as to have left the disastrous repercussions of this ‘current event’ in our wake.
Thank goodness, the enduring strength of my positive focus fully believes that once this tunnel does end (and it will), our patience with change will catch sight of the first glimmer of light, at which time, we'll celebrate the fact that our love for each other will have brightened our spirits as we’d insulated our minds in hopes of minimizing frustration concerning that which remains beyond our control so as to concentrate a mindful sense of positive focus upon the eventual, inevitable resurgence of good health, abounding all around, at long last.
By expanding my hopes to include you and your family and friends, my chosen attitude of hopefulness will continue to focus upon the return to good health on the part of every precious person I love—the sooner the better.
If you’re not already doing so, Please mask up. Please booster up.
If you’ve known yourself to be amongst the superspreaders, please consider the health of your children, their classmates and teachers and, of course, the vulnerability of your parents’ generation, because two years of butting heads within this darkened tunnel of turmoil is not about to end until we choose to wisely participate in the creation of change for the better, together.
Thank you for listening to my plea.
As for now, I hope that each time you choose to seek me out, the most open minded portion of your heartfelt human kindness will absorb more (than ever before) whatever my intuitive voice implores the conscious portion of my brain to clarify via penning posts, day after day.
👩🏻Annie
