The end of January and beginning of February has been a whirlwind for me. To begin this never-ending snow has a crazy. I don't really remember us getting this much snow for a while. We got lucky enough to shovel 30+ inches of snow for days. I must say as soar as I was after shoveling for so long I was happy that we got this winter storm experience. Everyone staying home, just appreciating the beautiful white snow that surrounded us everywhere. I was happy for the first couple of days of the snow but now every time I check the weather I see snow every day of the week almost. I am over it and so is my snow machine.
The snow isn't the only thing that has made these couple of past days hectic. About a week ago we learned that my grandmother who lives in France was sick with the Coronavirus. When I first learned about the news I was super stressed because she is an 80-year-old woman who lives alone. She managed to give it to almost all of my family in France, my cousins got sick, aunts, uncles, my pregnant cousin's wife, her entire family, and a couple of family friends. Everyone is sick right now.
The hardest part of all of this has been not being able to see them or check in on them since we are the only ones who live in the United States. Luckily my aunt and uncle are both doctors and happen to live right across the street from my grandmother. They have been checking in on her every day, giving her medicine depending on what is hurting and how she is feeling. Throughout the week they say that she wasn't feeling better, so they got her a tank of oxygen so she was able to rest at home peacefully instead of the crappy french hospitals. After a couple of days, she started showing slow signs of improvement which made us all very happen. Now we are all just waiting for her to become healthy again.
To add to the mix of all of this, I have been working 15-20 hours a week at Subway. The past month has been very hectic to say the very least. I can slowly begin to see the light at the end of the tunnel which gives me hope and motivation to keep pushing through. I just really hope this corona stuff ends soon and that everyone stays safe.
I am sorry to hear about your family, I hope they get well soon! it has been a rough couple of months but I am sure we will make it through at The end and everything will be back to normal.
ReplyDeleteI've also had an incredibly busy last few weeks and although it's been nice to get some time off due to this storm, it's really only put me behind on my work. Let's hope that things become a little less hectic and a bit more manageable from here on out.
ReplyDeleteI hope your whole family will be ok! It's really fortunate that your relatives are doctors. That definitely makes the situation slightly better. I agree, the snow is getting to be tiring, especially because it's just slushy now. These past few weeks have also been super busy and tiring for me too, especially because the new semester has begun, but there's usually a period of calm after going through hectic times, so we can all adjust and look forward to that!

ReplyDeleteI hope your family recovers and is ok! You are very fortunate that you have family members that are doctors. This past month just keeps throwing me back down with disappointment but I've learned to get right back up again. I hope this month treats you better:)
ReplyDeleteIt is great that you have relatives living so close that can help your grandmother! This much snow was definitely getting annoying... I was getting cabin fever haha. Hopefully this was the last of it for this winter, and from here on out it will be warmer weather!
