I've now actually started telling people I am sick so they will (hopefully) stop trying to visit or otherwise get in my space. Even though I am healthy and fine I'm so worried I could unknowingly pass something on to them or someone else at risk.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-57033282886105168932020-03-23T14:07:36.627-07:002020-03-23T14:07:36.627-07:00Right?!

I used to read books about the plague or see historical movies with people getting diseases and just think it was too bad they didn't have modern science and if only they knew they could have been saved.

She had a plan to hide her symptoms at the border and on the plane.

The barn owner is wonderful, but older and forgetful. I put them on pasture a few days ago so in theory if I can't make it for a few days they'll be fine, even if they miss out on the odd vitamin/mineral portion. Fingers crossed the tenant at your barn is OK and it's a false alarm.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-40993667497455385732020-03-22T09:45:31.608-07:002020-03-22T09:45:31.608-07:00I was in the yard gardening yesterday and the nosy...I was in the yard gardening yesterday and the nosy neighbour wandered over. My husband told her politely we're isolating and she was like "oh so am I, I have terrible asthma...blah blah blah spent last week in the hospital blah blah blah". We finally got her to leave, but wow, there's no helping some people.Thttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05438372155463437107noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-14328280419075579692020-03-22T07:20:11.285-07:002020-03-22T07:20:11.285-07:00I would say that people were doing okay here but t...I would say that people were doing okay here but then it seems that they are all heading to the beach and not maintaining social distance.

Kids playing soccer. WTH. I'm doing my best and am annoyed by people who don't take measures. I cancelled Star Trek night with a friend and she doesn't get it, she said she's not afraid and doesn't want to talk about it at all with me. So, just, no Star Trek for her. Nonchalant is not a strong enough word, but I see it again and again.lythahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01719586193059362084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-77700684578242336282020-03-21T10:49:17.766-07:002020-03-21T10:49:17.766-07:00I feel like I'm in much the same boat as you. ...I feel like I'm in much the same boat as you. I'm not going to the barn right now because the person who rents the apartment above the barn has some symptoms so I'm just not willing to risk being there. I will go check on her, hopefully, about once a week and just avoid the barn and walk out into the pasture. I think I have a spare hoof pick somewhere so I can clean out her feet and do a once over plus drop off supplements. If that stops feeling safe for any reason I won't even do that.Piccoloponyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08275679567725425281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8359915651309786241.post-71369568011645151372020-03-21T09:50:09.456-07:002020-03-21T09:50:09.456-07:00Glad you are able to work from home!
