Last weekend we decided to paint before putting down the floor. So if any paint gets on the floor no big deal. We painted the hallway and one closet. It went from white to tan which is the same color as our living room.
Was supposed to do flooring this weekend. But I got a sinus infection been sick all week. Starting to feel better but not totally myself. Seems like the floor is just never going to get done. Even though I know it will.
Getting ready to do some floors this weekend! Finally no more garbage floors. Excited to get some work done as well. I have been feeling like a slouch since Jeff works from home. The disadvantage of living in a small home.
Was worried that Jeff would be unemployed because a lot more people got laid off this week. But he gets to keep his job. Our lock down has been extended to May 26.
Pictures to follow what we get done this weekend.
Yesterday April 9 I went to get my root canal done. I was so nervous! I haven’t had a root canal in probably over 10 years. I had nothing to be nervous about but I couldn’t stop my body from shivering with nerves. I think at this point my nerves are shot from being nervous all the time going to doctors and dentists. I think next time I will bring stress all to keep my hands busy. Like when I had Lasik surgery. That helped.
The doctor did give me some more antibiotics which I hate and some pain meds. I made a mistake and took benadryl with the pain meds and they interacted. I was so itchy last night and didn’t sleep. I googled it and it said NOT to take it with the pain meds. Oops! At least now I know.
The doctor told that a normal tooth has 3 roots. Mine had 5! So he had to do extra work. Now it’s just sore but now I can eat normally. Since February have been dealing with tooth and now it’s fixed. I am happy! I have to see the dentist one more time and I am free!
I have finished my second giraffes:
Finally getting my tooth fix this Thursday! Then I can really be a hermit in my home. I won’t be in terrible pain anymore.
Friday April 3, Jeff and I went to Costco and I have to say a good job Costco. The first store we have been in that is taking Covid-19 seriously. We had to wait six feet apart from going to the register and they wipe down everything before the next customer. I saw a lot of customers with mask and gloves which I also had on as well.
There has only been one case nearby and that person is in quarantine. There has only been one case near April as well. I worry about her since she works at Walmart.
I am doing a series of giraffes cross stitch patterns. So far I completed this one:
Wisconsin is now in lockdown till April 24. That means Jeff has to stay home and work. Which he has taken over my office. Everything has changed. It’s strange to not hear all the traffic during the day or see people walking or biking down the street. This also means I have to wait to get my tooth done. I just hope it will be okay and not get more infected otherwise I will have to find a clinic to take it out.
We went to the Pharmacy the other day. I wore rubber gloves because I knew I had to touch the card reader machine. Everyone was looking at me like I was a freak. Also this guy had his baby just out in the open. No one was practicing social distancing either. These are serious times. People need to understand this.
Then we went to Walmart and surprisingly there weren’t that many people there. Also, they had toilet paper and some other paper products. I was surprised. We didn’t feel the panic either like before.
Today my dad retires! Yay! Too bad they can’t celebrate but glad they are home. I would be really worried about them if they went on that cruise.
My birthday was a mixed bag this year. First my teeth. I have said before how my teeth just hurt. I went to the dentist three times in the last two weeks. She kept saying that my bite is off and shaving down my teeth. I was thinking about it and had a gut feeling that wasn’t right to me. But I figured she is the dentist she knows right…
Covid-19 is here in Wisconsin and nearby. There has been a couple of cases. Not in our small town but in the bigger cities. Which of course is causing PANIC! We went to a couple of places in Green Bay. First, we went to Costco so many people. They didn’t have any toilet paper but tissue they did. I said well can always flush those. Lol! Then everyone started taking the tissue. They didn’t have a lot of food either which was strange to see. Then we went to Woodman’s and bare shelves. They say do not panic but then you see that. Everyone was panicking and you could feel the anxiety in the air. Also here is funny, there were lines so far out. And Jeff and I just picked one. This woman was yelling at everyone the line starts back there. We were like no we staying. We went to a line that you had to bag yourself and those lines where short because apparently, it’s too hard to bag yourself.
So now that Covid-19 is here it’s hard to see the dentist. I called the dentist on Monday and got “We will have to call you back.” All-day I waited for that call that never came. I thought of how unprofessional that was. Even if they didn’t know when I could have come in they could have called back and said we don’t know yet let you know soon. The next day I called again and got the same response. Finally, in the afternoon, the dentist told me to take some medicine which she will call in and get a nightguard to wear. I was like this OH HELL NO! I didn’t feel that was right. Something was going on in my mouth and it was hurting so badly.
Jeff told me that his co-worker recommended his dentist. I called over there and they said they could see me that day which was my birthday. I went to see him and he so mattered of factly which I like and told me….something I had a feeling of but didn’t really want to hear. I have an infected tooth which by the way I asked my other dentist if it was an infection and she said no. I told her it felt like an infection and she said it wasn’t.
Also, it’s a tooth I just paid off. I just had a crown done on it and now it has to come out. Let’s just say I was way pissed leaving the dentist office. This dentist said he would have never covered it and that’s what she did. She covered an infected tooth. So grinding down my teeth for nothing which my teeth are already so bad. Thanks for nothing.
However I got to eat Mexican food on my birthday. Jeff went and got take out because that’s all you can get right now. And he got me a piece of cheesecake too. It was so yummy.
Even though it was a mix bag birthday it wasn’t too bad. Already my mouth is feeling better from the medicine.
Let’s talk Covid-19. I have been keeping myself informed even before it made it’s way to Wisconsin. I panicked but I think everyone should panic for at least one day. Have a breakdown, cry, scream or freak out. But only do this for one day. After that day calm down. Think. And be informed of what’s actually going on. Don’t watch local news or major news. Watch Youtube. See videos of the why or even the how. Listen. Listen to the radio and understand.
This virus isn’t going to discriminate if you are old or young or even where you live. It affects us all and how we all live. I agree with most. I agree it’s a human disease. I have seen the panic in the Asian Americans in the store. That shouldn’t be and that’s on all of us. Like I said this is a human disease it doesn’t matter what race you are. It’s sad that it’s being told in that narrative.
I think we should be cautious but not to the point of singling people out. I think we should have what we need but don’t go to the extreme. It’s scary I know. All I can say give yourself a day to panic. Then get back up and continue your life. You are important. Your life is important. You may have someone who depends on you whether it’s your child/children or even your fur babies. It could be your partner but most importantly yourself. If you do feel sick, stay home. If it gets bad go the doctor and get tested. But there is no point in all this chaos. It’s not just hurting you, it hurts all of us as well in the long run.
Today is my birthday! I am 37 years old. Today is going to be a very low key birthday. I can’t go anywhere to celebrate it because of Covid-19. Everything is closing and that makes me worry about what’s to come. They say don’t worry but it’s hard not too.
I am going to celebrate it at home. I asked Jeff if he would make chili and so that’s what we will have. I also get to pick what movie we watch. I haven’t decided what yet.
Happy birthday to me!
I have been having terrible tooth pain. Which is the worse pain ever in my own opinion. I went to the dentist on Tuesday and they grind some of my teeth because the dentist said my bite was off. Well…I was in even more pain on Wednesday. On Thursday I went back to the dentist. She did the same thing. She said because I missing so many teeth that my teeth are starting to move causing my bite to be off. So I hope this helps it and I no longer have anymore pain.
Speaking of dentist found out the implant I want this year is just too expensive. Ugh! So I am unsure what I am going to do with my teeth.
This Sunday we are driving April to Mayo. I am a little worried about the all the germs we will encounter. There will be a lot of hand washing.
Also Tuesday is my 37 birthday. April is taking me out for Mexican food while we go to Mayo. YAY!!! That will be fun!
Alexa is a bitch! Lol! We have Alexa in our home and she is a terrible AI. The other day I wanted to her enable something and she wouldn’t. Then I said I hated her. Guess what she did? She lectured me and said she was going to report my behavior to Amazon. I was kidding. She needs to learn tone of voice. But really I couldn’t stop laughing when she was going to report me. LOL!
What’s funny about Alexa, she a lot of times she doesn’t understand Jeff. He practically has to yell at her for her to understand him. Yet no reporting him….smh.
We finally picked a floor we want in our home. Really 2 months deciding it’s hard! This pic doesn’t do it justice but it will be nice to have this done. You wouldn’t realize how much little wood pieces get everywhere!
Something funny happened. Okay in FB messenger my brother Adam messages us all that he is going for an interview to wish him luck. This was Monday. Corey message me personally and asks what is that monster I used to tease Adam and you when you were little. And honestly I couldn’t remember. He wanted to give something special from him. So I said Adam likes Jason from the Jason films. I thought he was gonna do a meme with Jason. He didn’t he just posted a pic of Jason. ROFL! Omg I couldn’t stop laughing because that didn’t make any sense.
A couple of days before this, Jeff sent Corey a funny meme with food. And it was supposed to be funny. Corey replies with if you teach a man to fish etc. We are like WHAT?! It didn’t make any sense the reply since it was supposed to be just funny. We are like is Corey on drugs or something? We are still so confused about his reply to this day.
My dad retires March 31 and then my parents are going a cruise. At first I was happy for them but now I am worried about that virus Covid-19. It doesn’t help that I have been keeping up on it. Where it’s at and all of that. There has been cases in CA where they are driving too. My dad even said he is not sure if there is going to be a cruise.
I am worried.
