So 2020 dawned as a new decade, one that I was filling with hope and desire to move forward and grow and learn more...
Ray came home on New Year's day and I thought- silly me... that everything was in place and was going to go smoothly... but as with all the best laid plans, it was not meant to be... I struggled to get him the correct home care and ostomy care so we could, together, learn the best way to take care of his new lifelong buddy... It took forever to get that in place, but we finally have products that really seem to be effectively working and leaking MUCH less frequently... Just in time for the PANDEMIC and the social distancing orders and shelter in place orders to begin flowing in... March 15th was Ray's birthday and we had to celebrate via facebook instant messaging with my family... his sister barely even acknowledged his birthday- i know, she's busy...
Work with face covering and gloves... stress beyond words- but I am able to put it into words, and I AM coping so much better than I used to.
I have started a small cottage business with ColorStreet Nails- the opportunity was presented before but the time was right at the end of January and I jumped in with my eyes open and have been working the business and generally enjoying my time meeting the new people that have entered my life as a result- a positive, uplifting group of women.
Ursula has moved from Bayside to Smithtown- I think we have lost her to Ellen- that will be a bit of a challenge for both Ray and I .
My family has found Facebook Messenger and Zoom which have allowed us to communicate as a group at least once each week- it has been awesome for me.
I have rejoined the running world- though again have to build my speed and endurance. TV has fallen by the wayside.
