Not Feeling It
« on: December 24, 2021, 06:20:27 PM »
Well another year our son can't come home and I have to admit I just want the holidays to be over and done with.  I'm sad and I'm angry.   :'(   :pissed:

Sad and angry feels appropriate.  :hug:

Is it because of covid?

Yes, he tested positive so has to quarantine.  We were deciding about him coming home as a family & right about then he got it so the decision was taken out of our hands as it turned out.

I'm so sorry, Kizzie. That's scary and frustrating and sad. Are you worried about him? It's so tough for that field right now, too, just mentally, let alone dealing with an illness and isolation.

And it's not fair you have to go another christmas without him.

I'm sorry I don't know how your husband is doing with recovery. Do you have some nice plans together?

He's young and quite fit so he only had symptoms for about 4 days and seems to be fine now.  However, he has to quarantine until the 29th so is on his own.  His friends who aren't positive have been dropping off food and goodies so he's doing OK. 18 of them are in quarantine at the moment.  Omicron is really contagious so think we'll all get it at some point, I just hope it's not bad for older folks like the original strain was/is. Not enough data yet but does seem to be more like a cold or the flu.


My H and I actually had a nice day so far - slept in, opened gifts and had a nice brunch.  No plans to go out because of Omicron, canceled our traditional XMas dinner out but are having turkey dinner and have some movies to watch.

So, all in all not too bad although I am still po'd by selfish, foolish people who refuse to get vaxxed and keep all of us from being free.  :pissed:.  You'd think millions dying/having long haul COVID would seep through that whole 'my rights and freedoms trump all' hogwash but nope. Feels too much like the 'everything is about me' N household I grew up in so gets my BP up as you can tell.

Hope both yours day are lovely and peaceful.  Tks for the hug BB!   :hug:
