She was feeling virus-y for a few days. Had blisters on her foot. Then the other. She thought it was her shoes. And then, a mild temp. Her boys are now ache-y. So anyone in contact with them can’t come here to see me 😐. My sister blew in from Texas with 2 of her daughters. She’s going to stay in a hotel. So she can visit me, this week. So…my life is just so fun. ---

Well, that sucks about your daughter. I hope she gets better quickly!I was going to work in a joke about her being a chimp off the old block, but someone would point out chimps are apes, not monkeys. So does this mean L’il Wrekk won’t be able to visit, either? I hope you have great visits with your sister! ---

No. Li’l Wrekker cannot visit me until she’s cleared. She’s been very busy at the University so I haven’t seen much of her. But, Ivy will be here as much as I want. She’s a great aide. She has no children or pets or husband and hates going home. I think I’m getting a cot put in here for her. ---

You’ve adopted cats, and dogs, and a possum, and now you’re adopting a CNA for your extended family, Beck. 😉 ---

It’s triple ‘bad’ for sure! Her 2 sons have it as well. I feel like my whole family will have it soon. ---
