Thank heavens for the
beautiful African Violet
which will bloom all year long,
providing a lovely touch of color.
I remember when I first
started owning violets being told,
they were just like children-
the same care didn’t mean
they would behave the same way.
So true!
I have had a bad cold...a regular winter cold.
Remember the days when you had a cold
and you could just hunker down with
drinks and cosy blankets?...not anymore.
I was scared out of my mind it was covid
so I was masked 24 hours a day...
and lugged my studio air purifier in my arms
everywhere in this small apartment
so hubby would be protected.
Major anxiety ruled the day.
The first covid test
took two days
before I was told it was
"damaged in transit"
...and as my oxygen
was in the 80's, and I felt major fatigue,
I hauled myself
(and my hubby this time) off for another test,
waiting another two days to find out
the glorious news- both of us were negative.
It was a load lifted. Happy dance!
I had reasons for concern due to living where
our next door neighbors
had just been in quarantine for having covid
and quite a few living here having had it.
We get the first vaccine on Friday
and the anxiety will
disappear a week after the second one.
Maybe my painting time will pick back up?
One can only hope.
Stay safe, my good friends!
