just maintain

[tielan]

This evening, the urge to dry-cough, like a tickle in the back of the throat. I feel like my heart has been having a harder time of it pumping blood, but that might just be psychosomatic. Not having trouble breathing, no exhaustion.

Stressed? Oh, ABSOLUTELY. But then everyone is right now, and my sister points out that I'm going to bed after midnight and waking up at 4am, then rising at 7 and gunning through the day full-bore like I slept a straight eight...

Had the conversation with B2 about not coming here this week, and working out what's happening further on. She was distressed and angry to start with, but we emphasised that this is going to be on a week by week basis as the instructions of the Fed govt change. It may be a moot point if most schools close in a week, or if she decides to take up being an au pair instead, or if I come down with CV-19.

We also had discussions about computers and photo passwords and wills. I don't think we've done Power of Attorney though.

I send good vibes that you do not develop the virus.

Take care of yourself.

I'm feeling really tired and worn out this morning. :(

Just going to go and lie down, I think...

[jenab]

*hugs* Take care of yourself.

[tielan]

I will! Going to take a day of rest today.

Sending healthy vibes your way. I know, I've had some possible hypochondria happening here. Too much thinking about it and little else to do!

"is it trouble breathing or is it the virus? Wait, am I holding my breath?"

It's really difficult!

I think these days the paranoia comes with every cough, every headache. It's tough. Hang in there!!

[tielan]

Oh, yes. "Am I tired because I didn't sleep, or is it coronavirus?"

[alphaflyer]

My lungs have been in asthma mode for 10 days... :P It's probably something in the house I'm stuck in.

My sister had respiratory trouble for a while back at our old house, it turned out the roof was leaking into the cavity and moulding the ceiling...

A tough conversation, for sure! I'm really proud of you for staying steady (because it suuuuuuuucks). *hugs*

[tielan]

*hugs* Thanks.

It helped that it was B1 mostly talking about it, and that she'd been thinking about it for a while before this. And B2 can come over to do her washing (she doesn't have a washing machine at her place), or chat in the yard, but she can't stay overnight.

I'm so sorry you're having to deal with all of that. I hope it's nothing serious and a few good nights of sleep will take care of it. And also that things with B2 work out.
