Hellooooo out there! How about a Section VII roll call?

I'm following glennagirls suit today.  She's dealing with some family issues and will need your prayers and good wishes.

So much has been going on that has been affecting all our lives, whether it covid, mother nature running amok, political unrest, personal problems and so much more. It doesn't make for a lot of inspiration to write MFU right now, does it?

I know a few of us are experiencing stress and upset. All we can do is keep each other in mind and do a lot of praying.

I've been under lockdown since March (like many of you) with only quick forays out to the grocery store and pharmacy. The solitude isn't overwhelming, most of the time. Sometimes I have cabin fever; there's a few places I could go hang out but I find that unappealing. I think it's human companionship that I miss.  I miss going to the pub twice a month to play Irish trad music. We tried a Zoom session, but it just didn't work.

I'm dealing more health issues, or I should say greater issues. Many of you know I'm diabetic but you may not know that I have chronic kidney disease. It was decided it was time for me to see a nephrologist. So now lots more tests and bloodwork in the near future.  I'm buckling down on my diet as I haven't been as careful as I should.

My diet will now be quite minimalistic with so many foods that I absolutely have to avoid. Sigh.  I'll manage, but it's going to be a lot of work.

So now that I've filled you in a little bit on my trials and tribulations, how about you? What's going on with you? Good things, bad things?  Why not comment and let us know how you all are?

My spouse (larger half) and I have been in Covid lock down since March (but we hadn't really gone anywhere since January so it's really been since about then). We live in a semi rural area on the Washington coast (less than a mile from the beach). We are lucky in that we have to walk our retired racing greyhounds daily so we do get out in nature for about an hour each day. I have used the time to try and lose weight I gained due to some medication (21 lbs so far!). I have a twice rescheduled doctor appointment next month that I can hopefully keep (speech therapist due to problems from my brain surgery three years ago). I'm waiting for things to open up a bit in Oregon so I can finally reschedule an appointment for another tattoo (# 14). Reading fan fiction has been a wonderful diversion. All in all we are doing well (despite losing some friends due to the virus).

Sorry to hear you lost some friends to this fiendish virus. We almost lost a cousin, but thank God she recovered.

Congratulations of the weight loss, not easy while under lockdown. Good luck with the appointments and the new tat! Stay well and safe! Good to hear from you.

Congratulations to you on the weight loss! I keep finding it. :-(
