Memorial Day Weekend :(

[mags]

Well, this weekend will be like all the rest of the weekends the last  3 months


Its usually a camping weekend for us.


Gov. has opened up outside parties for up to 25 people....yeah, I don't think so.


We just walked to the liquor store to get supplies for Stef and I. Seems like plenty of people there stocking up for parties

[tiramisu]

Ugh. Resist the urge, people!

I'll be working Monday because that means I get time and a half. So it's definitely just another weekend here, too.

[chalupa]

I have a 3 day weekend, so it'll be the same as all my other weekends at home have been, but with 1 fewer day of working, so I'll take it.

My sister is still getting married in MO tomorrow. My parents flew there from FL today - neither of those states is shut down. All 3 of us siblings begged off, claiming we didn't want to bring any germs to my parents (true, but we also don't want to catch anyone's cooties, either!).

PA's Gov is speaking at 4pm and we're expecting to hear which counties might turn "green" and when (we're color coded by red - completely shut down, yellow - modified shut down, with retail allowed to open, and green - most or all businesses open). No one is green yet, and I really hope they're making fact-based decisions of when to safely reopen, and not just giving in to the vocal protestors who feel their FREEDOMZ are being infringed upon

I hope your parents stay healthy.

We are not going to stefans brothers wedding aug 1st in Dallas because I do not want to fly. Oh, and he says its a social distancing wedding of 100 people!! BWAH So we are the assholes in his family. His 82 year old mother will be flying to DFW to attend. Huge fighting going on within family. 

The governors are definitely feeling the heat from the assholes needing their freedoms!

today is the start of my 5 day stay-cation.
I had taken this long weekend off back in January as one of my cousin's in North Dakota graduated high school and we use graduations as an excuse to have a big family gathering.

Obviously the family gathering was cancelled but my dingbat older sister decided to still go
And one of my older cousin's is all pissed off at everyone who is not traveling there to visit

WTF people?! I just have no patience anymore for stupidity when it comes to this virus.

So I am going to enjoy my long weekend at home with my cat.

[tiramisu]

spindle92 staying home with cats is wonderful! I'm glad you're getting a nice, long weekend. You deserve it!

My mom is flying to NJ tomorrow morning b/c my grandma is in the hospital. I told her to wear a mask the whole time and disinfect everything. I hope she doesn't pick anything up.

Thanks. My mom thinks there's significant brain damage from what the doctors told her. She's flying out tonight instead and they're getting her in touch with hospice. Per my cousin, my mom wants to get my grandma home with hospice, if possible.

Our state is almost completely open. Infections climbing by the day. Friday we had 1100 infections in one 24 hour period. Two weeks after the state started “opening.” Sure, they’re doing more tests but these infections are from 1-3 weeks ago so 🤷🏻‍♀️

A and I are still staying home. D starts daycare on June 1 and I’m stressed over it, but I can’t keep doing what I’m doing working full time while caring for her full time while A works. She is still doing night feedings and not sleeping during this time is destroying me. Ugh. Daycare is being safe and we’ll visit on Tuesday. Keep your fingers crossed she stays safe during this time of stupidity in our state.

Snapshots of the beach are blowing my mind as well. How can people just negate 100k people are dead because they want their holiday weekend and life back to normal? I don’t get it.

I'm nervous about flying for my grandma's funeral and being around family. I'll do everything I can to be safe. Wearing a mask on the plane, my dad wants me to wear glasses to protect my eyes too, so I'll do that for him. My dad and I are flying out together on Thursday and he's flying back Saturday. I'm flying back Sunday. He's awesome and got us both first/business class seats both ways.

My mom of trying to figure out what to do about a post-funeral meal, since having communal food isn't advised at this point. There's so much for her to figure out.

[spindle92]

tiramisu, I am so very sorry to hear of the passing of your grandma.
I know she was a very special part of your life.
((((Hugs))))

[neonpink]

[chalupa]

[kaneen]
