Why posts have been sparse

Ron and I have been ill for days.  I got sick Wednesday night.  I got up with diarrhea and sick to my stomach.  Ron also got the same symptoms.  During this time we were to go get the car from the garage but I was vomiting too hard to so the first day.  Today he still has issues as do I.   Ron thinks we got a case of covid.   I don’t know.  But it has been really hard to be at the computer and no work on the house has been done.  If you put comments to post know I will be getting to them as soon as I am not coughing up mucus and having stuff come out both ends … horribly.   Ron thought covid but I think we got food poisoning.   But there are no food inspectors now so …  Hugs and good night.

    1. Hi Ali. Thank you. We both came through it OK but are still dragged out. It was horrible, we couldn’t leave the house because of rushing to the toilet. At one point I was laying down on the bed and suddenly started to vomit and grabbed a nearby trashcan. Then I had to clean it, thankfully we line them with plastic liners. It was a miserable week. Tomorrow we are going to be are going to do the first of the month big shop. We do it twice a month, once when my social security check hits and once when Ron does. But it is maybe hard. We both are so tired. Ron went for a nap over 2 hours ago. It seems it is harder for him every day. And with my vision being so bad I struggle to help him. The other day he asked me to take measurements for him … and even though I never learned nor understand math I had to tell him I couldn’t see the tape measure markings. It was just a semi blurry set of some bigger numbers I could see and a lot I couldn’t tell what it was. I do things like dishes and laundry, it doesn’t take good eyesight. But tonight I am going to cook, but I don’t need good eyesight for that as I am going to fry french fires and crispy check strips. Anyway.

      Thank you Ali for all you do it means a lot to both of us. Ron has asked me to do something I am really hesitant to do. He started to write a post last night. This morning after a long night of cuddling, he asked me to look over it and wanted my opinion if he should keep or change something. I really would rather not!

      Ali when I make the decision to ask someone to be an author it is because I trust them. It doesn’t mean we walk lock step in all ideas, but we have the same progressive ideals that all people regardless of minority status have rights and are worthy of respect / rights. We can disparage those who advocate harm to others and champion those being maligned. I have never censored any opinions on the blog including comments unless they deliberately attack others after being warned not to.

      I do not want to be seen as censoring what any author writes. It defeats the reason for having them as authors. Also I am worried about hurting Ron’s feelings. But I guess I can push it off for another day telling him I just couldn’t get to it. Thanks for listening. Hugs

  1. er. have you considered seeing a doctor? It might be covid, or just a flu, or something fixable. I really don’t know what covid does, but this does sound flu-like and possibly you could get something to settle you down a bit. Please. and yes, hydrate and rest. but see the damn doctor. =)

    1. Hi Judy. Thank you. We managed through. We held each other as we vomited, we comforted each other as we rushed to the bathroom and hoped we wouldn’t have it hit as the other person was on our only toilet. We do have two bathrooms, but both are torn up for remodeling. Anyway we are better, but very tired. We did not get up until 8 am this morning. I normally am up at 5 at the latest. Ron went back to bed to nap this after noon and has been there for 4 hours now. I need to get him up soon. We hope in the morning to get up early and go grocery shopping. But ya we were really sick. Hugs
