Do you suffer from the virus grumpies?

[Niffler75]

@TooPatient Many congrats on graduating. Huge achievement! Continued best wishes to your husband.

@mrs-b Glad things are feeling less sore and you are healing. Take care. x

 

[asscherisme]

Honestly no.

I suffer from being very very sad right now due to other issues happening in our personal life.

My MIL is in hospice and going to leave this world any day now. Just a month ago she was strong and healthy (albeit a pacemaker) and then BAM it all changed.

And our cat Tommy is very ill and we do not yet have a diagnosis but waiting for the blood and culture results. In my heart and gut I know it is fatal whatever he has. He went 4 full days without eating and lost 1.5 lbs off his 9 lb frame. I know something is seriously wrong and he is most likely going to die soon. He is only (about) 12.5 years old. That would be 3 furry family members we lost in just 12 months.

So to answer your question no I am not grumpy about the virus. I am sad and overwhelmed about losing (and losses soon to come of) our loved ones.





My MIL just 2 years ago...when she was honored for all she has done (lifetime achievement award) for the college where she was a professor for decades. She was ahead of her time. So smart and so independent. Truly an amazing and strong woman in so many ways.

I am so sorry about your MIL and Tommy. Beautiful photos.

Slow progress. I thought we might be almost ready to let him try sleeping without a CPAP. Not yet. Will get there. Leave extended to 7/15. Good news (I suppose) is that he is getting restless and needing more reminders to inch into activity rather than exhausting himself.

I missed updating you! Posted in one thread, but should have tagged you. I graduated! Had a delicious cake to celebrate and am trying to decide what sparkly I need to celebrate...

Congratulations! That cake looks amazing!

Thank you Daisy. My mother in law has passed. She is at peace now. It’s what she wanted. It’s the best any of us could hope for. To go on our terms. Rest In Peace momma. ❤

I'm so sorry, @missy . Gentle hugs to you and Greg.

 

[Daisys and Diamonds]

yes I am in quite a funk and cant seem to kick it....

Me too

 

[Elizabeth35]

No grumpies. Just waiting.
Slight impatience, tempered with gratitude that my family has been able to weather this so far. My inconveniences are minor compared to those who have lost loved ones, lost jobs or may lose their homes due to unemployment.
I am slightly inconvenienced but this is temporary and it would be selfish to complain.
I am thankful that I will not worry about losing my home or feeding my children.
At some point this will be in the rearview mirror. Sooner rather than later, I hope.

I have had a few moments where I’ve been uncharacteristically moody but it hasn’t lingered. I tend to take a long term view...this too shall pass. There’s nothing I can do anyway. I just keep doing what I can in the meantime.
I am a little bummed right now as things are starting to open up, friends are meeting for lunch again and I’m restricting myself more because I’m going to visit DD who is vulnerable. I know I can’t take a chance but as soon as I’m back I’m going out!!

It did at the beginning but I realized that it was because of the type of news I was watching. Lots of dramatic music and aggressive red graphics. I'm much happier reading news than allowing myself to be caught up in the production choices of television news.

Apart from that, I was very sick for about a month and lost my dad shortly thereafter. For me, avoiding crowds and other public safety measures have been a blessing because I'm not strong enough to deal with work and people anyway. I'm using the time to heal and putter around the house cleaning and fixing things that need my attention. Are there still things that frustrate, sadden, and anger me? Sure, but resting and getting my health back on track is way more important.

I'm so sorry to hear about your dad.
Yes getting back your health is very important.
I wish you the very best and will add you to my prayer list.

@missy So sorry for your loss, please accept my sincerest condolences. Thinking of you and your family during this difficult time!

Thank you!

 

[Missy]

@missy I am so sorry to hear of the loss of your mother in law. You have such a resilient soul - this all seems just too much. I am saying a prayer for Tommy.

This moment we have all found ourselves in is one of grieving for me. Too much change in my life happening all at once and all too quickly has me feeling overwhelmed as well. I can see this as a temporary state though and the sudden pause/slowing down that happened, it's given me the mental space to think through what I want in my future. Self compassion and care is key right now. One day at a time.

Thank you and sending you lots of good wishes and hugs. Self care is important.

@missy I'm so sorry to hear about your MIL and Tommy! It's overwhelming to hear of these tragedies happening during these dark times, on top of your previous losses. My sincerest condolences to you, Greg and your family.



@MrsBlue I'm so sorry to hear of your Dad's passing. What a huge loss.

Thank you Sandy. Much appreciated.

 

[Missy]

I am so terribly sorry for this loss Missy. I am glad she is now at peace and I wish the same for you and Greg as time passes. These are hard losses to endure - take care and big virtual hugs for you.

Thank you very much MGR. Hugs to you as well.

I am so sorry about your MIL and Tommy. Beautiful photos.

Thank you

 

[Missy]

I'm so sorry, @missy . Gentle hugs to you and Greg.

Thank you so much

Thank you @Karl_K . You're very kind.

My deepest condolences to @missy . Prayers of peace and comfort to you and your family.

Thank you. And I’m so sorry about your dad. He lives forever in your heart.

 

[Missy]

I appreciate everyone’s good wishes and sorry for the thread tangent. But adding a photo that hopefully will put a smile on your face. And take some of the grumpies away.

Very sorry for your loss. I lost my dad 20 years ago, he visits me from time to time in my dreams. We are having a good time, much better than in real life. Hope you are staying strong and your health improves very soon.

 

[Arcadian]

Very sorry for those who are losing loved ones right now. It makes things doubly stressful.

I'm grumpy daily so.... no change here?

 

[luv2sparkle]

I am so sorry @missy for the loss of your MIL. She looks like a lovely and kind lady. Big hugs to you and Greg. Losing a parent is one of the hardest things in life, no matter how old we get.

Sometimes, I feel very grumpy about the way life is right now. It would be so easy to stay angry but I don't let myself go there much. I keep myself busy with my quilt projects and try to remind myself how blessed I am. I feel like if I don't, I could easily slip into a pit that would be hard to get out of.
I don't spend a lot of time watching the news either. Right now, I have 4 adult sons at home, so I remain busy and filled up with family and I am grateful for that.

 

[Cozystitches]

I clicked on this thread, mainly because I'm feeling in a funk lately too. I'm not in the grumpy state, but more sad. But sad isn't really the word, I like the funk. I feel off, but not enough to be able to explain it. Like I'm bored, but don't want to do anything, yet I want to do something. I am thankful that I am apparently not alone in this.
