Arizona! The new thread

Good morning Zonies!

Good Morning to you as well. How’s this, Thursday is it, treating you?

Heyyy, you two! Yes, yes it is Thursday. A lovely, slightly breezy April day. Makes it hard to believe that this evil thing is out there.... I heard that they're thinking about using the big stadium for a field hospital, it is literally just up the road from me. It's one thing to think about it being in China, or Europe, or even New York City, while life here in the Valley really had not changed that much.. But when it's within a ten minute drive, it makes you go, oh, shit, it's here!!

Yes you are going to be ok. If you are where I think you are, you have ten days left on the lockdown, and hopefully they'll resume some degree of normal life by then. I would imagine that they are keeping a special eye on foreign nationals as well, making sure they are well supplied and getting them out as soon as possible, because can you imagine the international stink if something happens to you all while stuck there.... really bad PR.

The most vulnerable people always pay the highest price. The measure of a society is in how they treat their poor. Most countries utterly fail this test.

We've got the easy job here, don't worry about us.... staying at home and thinking about TSFF

wise words! thanks for the thoughts. Fortunately, I have tons of work, teaching online, grad students that need lots of guidance, and a group of overly aggressive birds on my terrace to distract me...

I suppose all that keeps you out of trouble......

Guess after some time Sunny Az brings out the best in every one of you.
Though those who make tomato sauce always had that sunny disposition.
Arizona or not.

Tomato sauce is international. Goes with everything. Cures many ailments. I might make some tomorrow.

Please ensure your sauce leaves no admirer hungry.

I hope everyone's staying away from nasty viruses and such!! Oh and how about allergy season..... someone hand me a kleenex.....

Hi Dee, I hope your isolation pays off as we are doing way up here in Canada. I'm wondering if I should try the gargling with Chlorox and/or burning the private parts to possibly get a jump on this stupid virus.
Please stay safe and ignore anyone's opinions without a degree in medicine.

I usually ignore people anyway so never fear! I do gargle with Listerine when I have a sore throat... it’s not very nice but almost always helps. Burning private parts?? I’d rather not!
I hope you’re not speaking moistly on anyone

Good morning Zonies!
They lifted some of the restrictions here in my neck of the woods, I'm thinking a little to soon. Had a phone call from one of my cancer docs last week, I was suppose to start chemo yesterday but since they are predicting an increase of Covid cases in two weeks we made the decision to hold off another month. They don't want me to have any complications and end up at an er with all the infected.

Miss Bunny! ((Hugs)) ugh I don’t know how you find the strength to cope with it all.. it makes the rest of us sound like a bunch of whiny negative nancies. Sounds like a sensible solution to wait for a few more weeks, if your body is ok with it.

AZ is going to partially reopen tomorrow.. such as restaurants, but not bars, and with the usual restrictions. I feel it’s a bit too soon as well, especially as so many people don’t seem to give a rat’s patootie about distancing or wearing masks. And how could you eat your dinner at a restaurant with your mask on anyway. It’s a bit silly.

I still remember sitting at an er check in desk with my Babygirl to check her in for something. There was a sign about God not giving us anything we couldn't handle. She looked at me and said that she wished God didn't think she was that strong. Sometimes I make it though a day just cuz I can't handle the alternate.
Up side of all this.. I am down almost 100 pounds from where I was when I started this adventure. Sometimes cooking is a bit much as is eating so I just grab a yogurt or scramble a couple of eggs.

She was the strongest woman I've ever known

I'm eating ok, Dee. Suddenly lost my life long taste for sweets and cut out the snacking.

I felt like my head was going to fall off last night I used about ten Kleenex tissues.

Good evening all, been a while since I posted, but I have been lurking from time to time. So glad to hear and see all my Zona friends are doing well and staying away from that nasty virus. Me too, although just before all hell broke loose I had a bad case of something, probably the flu but had all the symptoms. When only about 10% of likely candidates test positive I am sure mine was just flu. Feel fine now and have been working at the office every day. Interesting that everyone will be coming back into the office after next week, not going to know how to act with so many people in the office again.
Bunny so glad you are doing well, dont put off your treatments too long, dont know what we would do if we didnt get some of the positive attitude you bring to the thread. Ohhh Dee you ornery naughty lady so nice to see you keeping us wondering whqts next from you. Love you ladies so glad I could stop in and say hello.
Hope this all ends soon, dont like the isolation, and celebacy, hell I could never be a monk. GRRR this sucks; as much as I hate condoms I cant imagine sex wearing masks WTF!!!
Have a great evening all, stay safe and satisfied as best you can.
