Health and Sanity Check-Ins

[sprocketta]

Things are crazy now. I think we are all trying to stay healthy and maintain sanity as well. I thought I would start this thread so folks can check in and discuss how they're doing. I want all my BIC friends to be okay. I will kick this off with a first post. Take care of yourself lovelies.

@CookieGirl1   It seems like the antibody test is close to being ready.  That would make the "next steps" of this quarantine a little more clear, I think.

@heartsmyface   It sure sounds like you all had it.  I think it was here in the states much earlier than January.  A family member of a direct contact of my husband (trying to be vague here, although no one knows me or my family, but my husband didn't want me spreading this,) was in contact several times with the same Chinese national who was over here for business in October/November.  This person developed the worst "flu" this person ever had. The Chinese national also became ill upon return to China.  There was no publicity of COVID at the time this person was ill.

Fast forward to the time it became known, on a news show this person was watching, and this person said that the COVID symptoms were exactly what she had.  This person's doctor agreed.  I was encouraged because this person is my age and recovered well.

Although this might be anecdotal, I had read where some epidemiologists calculated that the earliest it would have first occurred was October 31, the latest December 31.

How could it not have spread around December?  It was already widespread in China, and there is so much international travel between countries it seems likely.

@jen81   You guys are tough- I hope you stay healthy the rest of the year!  I've read a lot of instances where COVID patients only had a 99 something to 101 fever.  Sure sounds like you had it.

An anti-body test is supposed to be ready soon.  It would be really useful.  Stay safe!

Well, i must say if it weren’t for not being able to leave my house, I would have never started anxiety painting.  I’ve had a lovely pink sitting around waiting for me to feel ambitious for longer than I want to admit.  I plan to put gold trim on the doors  next. I emptied my beauty room.

Painted and redecorated.

@heartsmyface ,

I love that shade of light pink paint on your walls!  What a great use of your time!

Your room looks awesome!

[Luvstravel]

Wow, that looks so nice @heartsmyface Way to turn a negative (staying at home) into a positive one!

[heartsmyface]

@Luvstravel i’ve been coming up with excuses as to why I haven’t painted for years no.  Now that I can’t leave it, it’s time to make it as nice as I can.

This is absolutely beautiful,  @heartsmyface!  Amazing job!

[heartsmyface]

@curlychiquita thank you.  I’ve always wanted a pink princesse room.  Satisfying my inner six year old girl here! 😜

[faeriegirl]

That looks fantastic @heartsmyface!💕

[heartsmyface]

@faeriegirl  Thank you!  💕💕💕  I was so afraid it would look tacky but I think once I add some brass and art it will be beautiful.

@heartsmyface so so pretty!!! I love that wire hearts shelf, are those Laduree petals!? 

[heartsmyface]

@MissPuff They are!  I had nail polishes up there before.

@heartsmyface @That’s so cute!!! Good job !

[heartsmyface]

@Kim888   Thank you:).

@heartsmyface if you feel the need to do some more anxiety painting and would like another room (or two...or three) to "beautify", I could definitely help you out with that 😂. Sign me up! 

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1   Hahaha, I’m running out of steam after one little room.  I started putting gold on the door before realizing the white paint already on it is terrible and peels off with painters tape.  I’m waiting for a sunny day to bring the doors outside to paint them properly.  The little obstacle is dampening my ambition.  

[CookieGirl1]

@heartsmyface You look like you've been ambitious so far :).  Enjoy your new oasis.

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1  Thanks!  If I get a second wind I’ll let you know;) 

[CookieGirl1]

Oh my gosh, @heartsmyface, that's absolutely beautiful! You did a fabulous job and it's seriously looks amazing 💖

[heartsmyface]

@CookieGirl1  Thank you.  I feel so handy!  I haven’t ever had an interest in interior decorating- or maybe I just never thought I had an eye for it, but I’m glad it’s turning out.
