Am I Over-Reacting?

[Chef Munky]

So …

I spent a good half hour on the telephone to the director of my
Mother's Senior Living Community this afternoon.
She had all the right answers!

She remembers me, that I'm one of the kids who does come around on a regular basis.

She didn't recommend us coming out to California,
mainly because we probably wouldn't be able to get in
She told me that many counties have restricted travel to
non-essential persons.

Mom's community has also asked that non-essential visitors
stay away (that reads as ME).
Mom is in the "Independent Living Apartments" but the staff
still keeps tabs on them.
She recommended Instacart deliveries from the local market
as well as pharmacy
So I set up an account there and gave Mom a call.

She says she's good for food for at least 2 weeks,
that she and her girl friend ventured out this past Sunday
and did okay.

Here's the rub …

(I knew this was coming)

Mom's girl friend's Son (whom I've know my whole life, he's a year older than myself) has put her in total SHUT DOWN MOD!
She is not to go ANYWHERE for ANYTHING!!!
So there's NO gallivanting for those two young kids!

Mom thinks that she's going to be able to take
"The Bus" and get her shopping done that way …. NOPE!
The director advised me that that has been suspended,
no bus to anywhere! Mom didn't get that memo yet and
argued the point, but I just gave it up, "Ok Mom, well we'll deal
with that when the need arises"
She seems to think that everything well be just fine and dandy
in two weeks Ummmm, well ...

SO …

To sum up, for now anyways, Mom is good, I'm going to
leave sleeping dogs lie.
We'll visit all of this again in a coupla weeks

Gotta luv a feisty mom like that. My mom was to.Come to think of it I think I've caught that gene...
It's good people have been looking out for her and that your staying home.You will be of no help if you catch this bug somewhere on the way here.


My husbands Dr's have been cancelling his appointments.
With his health and respiratory problems stay home!!!
Same with the vets office.

Grocery store is limiting items 2 per family. Eggs and milk are long gone.
My sons work at a butchers shop. Business has been booming.

The police can stop you to ask where your going and why?
I'm thankful that we had a stock of cavi wipes.They kill everything.
It pays to be OCD.

My sons classes have been moved to online only.The campus has been shut down.As well as every other school in this district.

I'll be glad when this is over.Just think what things would be like if we didn't have the net?

I believe that the right decisions have been made..

Its difficult for we old folks when someone tells us we can't do something but, its appears that "stay home" is the right thing for us, at this time..

We have cancelled appointments, etc. We are good with that..

Your mom should be just fine...
