Checking in ... Hello!

[dizzojay]

So, the world seems to become a stranger place day by day.

My work has gone into meltdown; understandable really, because I work for a company that operates retirement villages so most of our clients are elderly, and many of them are frail.  I'm working from home for the foreseeable future as are the rest of our head office. It's productive, but a little bit lonely!

I'm voluntarily self-isolating myself as much as possible.  I'm not particularly concerned with myself in mind, but moreso because I'm going to visit my Mum and Dad the weekend after next and I absolutely can't risk taking anything over to the Island with me.  Plus I have other important people in my life with health issues and whether or not I'll be seeing them before this fiasco is all over, I can't say, but if I do, I need to be absolutely confident I'm free of nasties.

Mr D, unfortunately, does a job that he can't do at home.  Plus he works with the public, and there are no signs of the court closing any time soon. We had a bit of a scare last week when a solicitor who had visited the court a few days beforehand, tested positive on Thursday last week, but so far so good.  I'm making sure Mr D keeps me posted of the first hint of a sore throat or a cough at court, because if there is, I'm not going anywhere near my parents, or anyone else!

But anyway, we're all going through this, and we're all in it together.  Long distance hugs to you all.  Stay well and stay safe ...

Here are some pretties to brighten up the boredom of self-isolation!

Be well & I how you don't get too crazy being by yourself!! I can't wait until we get back to work at the end of the month! That's hoping we do!! Enjoy your visit with your parents, if you are able to go!

Thank you!
We're taking the visit to my Mum and Dad day by day. I've got to make sure I'm 100% certain I'm not carrying anything, and of course, there's always the possibility of ferry problems!
All being well, it'll work out!!

You're welcome! :D

Okay. I hope everything works out so you can see them! :D

Oh good! :D

Stay safe, my dear. Here people are really freaking out... I'm still in the office but my colleagues are working at home so I'm alone here. *hugs you tight*

Thank you - and you look after yourselves too!

*Hugs* We'll never be lonely as long as we have our fandom friends! The world is such a mess at the moment, I've been told there's no way my company is shutting down, so I'm here for the duration.

I've also got the fun of living with an elderly parent who is steadfastly being as stubborn as a mule over the whole self-isolating thing, ahh the joys of never having left home!

I feel your pain. My Mum's idea of self-isolating is to go to the gym twice a week instead of three times a week. And that's only because her Wednesday class has got a new instructor and Mum doesn't like her much!

Thanks for the prettiness! I hope Mr D is keeping well, I bet you are both a bit anxious every time one of you coughs or sneezes! I had a slight cough yesterday and was re-writing my will in my head! It's gone today!!

I'm glad to hear your cough has gone!
We're both fine. Just taking it day by day :)

Yes, we're in this together, and LJ friendships are so wonderful, especially at a time like this. Take care, and stay well!
