If I missed it, I hope it all went well. Seems the weeks are getting away from me as well.

The lack of personal responsibility regarding COVID early on still irritates me; we should have/could have been done with all of this long ago. <br /><br />And I hear you with regard to errant grass sprouting up all over where it should not be. My herb garden is a jungle, thanks to rain and humidity. I'm about to surrender.

And we will be as safe as we possibly can and hope for the best. After living for however many eons it's been since this all started; in a bubble, willingly stepping out of that bubble is hard.

But it's been at least 3-4 years since we've seen her and although she's healthy you just never know. Yay, for getting the booster.

It's the getting from this safe house to that safe house 9-10 hours away and back again that has me nervous.Gigihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05467164195744234746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-61422565361990242722022-09-10T10:29:38.897-04:002022-09-10T10:29:38.897-04:00Good luck with travelling.

We've also had Covid so...but I guess my feeling is that your MIL will not live forever, sadly, because I know she is a wonderful woman. But time is precious and I know you won't regret going to see her. If you're boosted and masked, and you're doing your best, that's the best you can do! And it's true, you don't know how it will affect you, but - and I want this to be helpful, not weird or anything - the vast majority of people who do get Covid do recover without issues. Of course, you'd not want to pass it to your MIL, I totally understand and feel the same about my parents and MIL. What I'm trying to say is I understand, but I 100% support you in going to see her. Sending you all the good healthy thoughts and lots of love. xoNicolehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15212465957211363245noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679304203742128093.post-84951934489398519202022-09-10T08:54:54.764-04:002022-09-10T08:54:54.764-04:00I would not travel.
