You are doing your best. @outlander It is a huge learning curve for everyone. Pop's behaviour is typical .... asking same questions and forgetfulness.
I have gone around disinfecting everything and thats not like me. I am alone with Mr Kind Cat. I dont have worries, that I know of. My grandson is out of contact, but by email they say he is well and they are isolationists by nature. My son and I had a wash handover and it was interesting how much one has to rethink automatic actions with physical distancing.
You have been so calm and supportive to lots of people online, even while you are on calls for emergency.
I wish I could take the fear away. You know the things to do, but the pressure is on.
I saw that about the dogs too. It can be hard to find the right kind of thing to watch. SOmetimes things similar to the issues are more interesting and sometimes more triggering.
Good idea to leave off the crochet, but maybe doing other artsy things could help ...
Hugs

I found a comedy short on sbs on demand that I relate to and keep laughing out loud. It is not very politically correct. "Robbie Hood"

I know you are not in the mood for it, but you asked.
It is set in Alice Springs. They are all 10 mins. One is about foster care ... finally I can laugh about it. I love koori humour.

thank you to everyone who has been keeping an eye on me. I had the most relieving phone call today which told me that I am NEGATIVE in covid 19.
I have a phone call appointment with my gp this arvo to discuss whether I need any treatments as the dept of health suspect it may actually be the FLU instead (which would explain the cough, some headachy and the hotflushes/sweats) but that is much better then the virus. so im still needing to stay away from pop and people till im better but its very relieving to get that call and to receive the email stating its negative as well
I told the kids I would come over and take them to feed their horses after lunch, it wont take me to long but its better then nothing cause we aren't allowed to go anywhere or do anything now, but feeding horses with people in the same household/family is classed as essential/acceptable thank god for that!
