Our sunshine didn't last. A dust storm arrived and blocked out the sun. It was eery. You can smell the dust in the air.
DGD6 has the flu. ARGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! She started running a fever yesterday afternoon. She had been gone from our house for about 16 hours when the fever started. They say you are contagious 24 hours before the flu symptoms start. Sooo I am 99% sure we have been exposed to it. Worse. DD left DGD6 with DMom all day yesterday. That means DMom is most definitely exposed. DMom sprayed everything down that DGD6 touched with Lysol spray and washed all dishes using bleach in the dish water. DMom will stay away from DBro for the next week even if she doesn't show symptoms to make sure she doesn't give it to DBro. That is life/death situation. DBro still hasn't gone into remission and only has 1 more chemo treatment with hopes of achieving it.
DD asked if I would keep DGD6 this week. DH said ABSOLUTELY NO. It is expected DGD6 will be out of school 5-7 days if she does like her classmates that have the flu. DD was not happy with our decision to not keep DGD6 while she is sick. DD replied that she will have to take off from both jobs. I have no guilt. I keep DGD6 (for free) about 80% of the time she is awake. I am feeling guilt-free telling DD no.
I filled our oven with roasted vegetables (cauliflower, broccoli, carrots, green beans) this afternoon so our home smells wonderful. Although, it doesn't smell like it did last time I roasted vegetables. I only used a small amount of coconut oil this time on the vegetables. No bacon grease.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
