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.

Somehow Illinois is onto Phase 4 of our reopening come Friday, which means among other things: museums, indoor dining, gyms, and retail can open with capacity limits and guidelines in place, and groups of 50 or fewer are allowed to meet. Salons were already open in Phase 3.

I know we're desperate to return to "normalcy," but this feels hugely premature to me. I'm gonna let other people be the guinea pigs and keep my butt at home or in wide open spaces like the lakefront 😷

@tastelikewater  I totally agree. Stay safe!!!

@tastelikewater My state was one of the early ones to start opening up. The county where our state capital is has partially gone back to stage 3. Closing bars back down. They had a huge spike recently.

I got really sad and angry in the wee hours of the morning this morning about something that happened to me last week that caused a ripple effect. Inherently, I online shop when this happens. I don’t wear or even like lipstick. I’m a liquid lipstick girl 100% however I’m now the owner of several PMG Matte Trance lipsticks. Why? Couldn’t tell you. 

[ather]

@GG84  Oh no!! I totally do this too. Mostly with clothes in colours I never wear!!

[Samtian]

@GG84 I'm sorry to hear this, I hope things get better soon. I love my liquid lipsticks but really like the matte trances. 

[pocketvenus]

@GG84 Ug, I'm so sorry, I hope your biopsy gets scheduled again soon! Also, summer coughs are a bummer, hope it passes quickly!!

[sprocketta]

@GG84 that's so scary about your biopsy. I would be furious and terrified. I am so sorry. Perhaps you can find someone on BIC to trade the PMG bullets for something you actually want.

I am so sorry, @GG84. Praying this waiting period goes by quickly so you can get on with your life, relatively speaking. Everything is moving so slowly now, except the things you want to move faster! Hugs 🙂

[lmaster]

I feel your pain @GG84 

[blackkitty2014]

@GG84  Oh no! I hope you feel better soon. In the meantime hope you enjoy your new PMG lipsticks 

[MissPuff]

@GG84  Happens to the best of us! I can't believe the nerve of that person, I hope you're doing okay and able to get your biopsy soon. Waiting for delays is nerve-wracking and so irritating, especially through no fault of your own. 

[curlychiquita]

I do that sometimes, @GG84. I hope you feel better! 💗💗💗

[GG84]

@curlychiquita @Kim888 

Thanks ❤️ 
I had a biopsy get canceled because someone decided not to wear a mask and cough in my face. I have a cough now. So, no biopsy. The waiting game is torture. 

[Samtian]

@GG84 Ooh that makes me mad, I hope you punched them in the throat.

[ather]

@Samtian  Omg you made me laugh so hard!!

[Samtian]

@ather Haha I'm glad!

[Kim888]

@GG84 that's terrible! some people are just really bad people - who does that! Especially terrible since you had something scary you are waiting for !

[MissPuff]

@GG84 I'm pretty sure I would have resorted to physical violence at this point if someone intentionally coughed in my face. Outrageous. 

[Loretta55]

I do not understand how anyone can cough in another person’s face @GG84. I don’t even cough on my dog much less another person. Best of luck with the biopsy. Hopefully the lipsticks will bring you joy and you may even find a new favorite. I know with me that it happens when I least expect it.

[curlychiquita]

@GG84 that would upset me so much, too.  Good luck with your biopsy.
