Good Afrernoon @Anastasia
I hope your day is ok with this long lockdown. It just seems to go on and on. I called my Mum this morning and she seems happy enough but my sister had plenty to complain about.
My son is recovering slowly and his leg appears to be at the right stage. He does have an infected thumb that is not going too well and now on 2nd course of antibiotics. He spent four hours at ED yesterday as GP wanted another opinion. I just dropped him there as I knew he wouldn’t be seen quickly with a sore thumb no matter how infected.
I did enjoy the OG and totally understand your friend being concerned about quarantine as the SA athletes have to do it all again in SA. The athletes I know in quarantine have been overwhelmed with gifts being delivered to them! I think it’s great they are receiving so much love but I don’t think the hotel reception is enjoying the extra deliveries.
I’m not doing well today and had a bit of a setback last night. I can’t elaborate on here.
Congratulations on being accepted into the TAFE course. There is no way I could work in mh. I’m in disability management and I do have a bit to do with plans and mh however I try to avoid it if possible.
How are your parents coping? Sorry your boy can’t have a big 21st bash, maybe he can have a big 22nd??
Lots of love you you my friend 💖🌸💖

@Eve7 I wish I had more to offer you than words on a screen, but I hope it helps a little to know there's a human behind them who is thinking of you
