You all are so sweet. I really appreciate. It is hard to believe it has been a week. Sometimes I’m numb and feel like I’m going through the motions, but I think it’s good being back at work.
On Friday we were were up to 2400 cases with 48 deaths. My friend who was helping with Moms meds, got a negative result.

I had a woman who came in today who didn’t put her mask on until she say me and I said you’re actually supposed to have it on when you come in the door. And said she was negative as if she was no threat to anyone. Just because you had one negative test does not mean you might not get it another - sheesh. Good thing I had my mask on!

BA, one thought is that they might have been using single acting baking powder. I can’t remember what I used for baking powder in Ireland. I may have taken some with me.
This article says it’s the same, but there is a comment about it not working the same

I’m embarrassed - I missed it

[cwcdesign]

It’s where I keep mine

[cwcdesign]

Thank you all. It means a lot to me.

I finally spoke with the doctor this afternoon and she said it was definitely a full blown case of COVID. All the numbers were high and that’s why everything was shutting down. I did ask If I had to self isolate and she asked if I was dressed in the gown, gloves and N95 and I said yes - she said then I was protected and didn’t need to isolate. I will probably just go to work for the next week or so - we get our temperatures taken every morning before we can work

Thank you all. My mom passed at 3:25 this morning. She was comfortable and sleeping and now she is at peace. I am relieved and sad.

We have requested a confirmation test because of the people who were in contact with her. I also need to find out if I need to self quarantine because I was at the hospital. I followed all the procedures there including sanitizing our hands before we left the room after disrobing the gown and gloves and then washing our hands. When I got out of the hospital I tossed the mask they had given me and sanitized my hands when I got to the car. I then showered and tossed everything I’d had at the hospital including my purse (which didn’t go in the room) and my shoes in the wash. I hope it’s enough

Storm appears to be going way offshore. We’re supposed to get heavy winds late morning to early afternoon but it sounds like no rain at this point

[cwcdesign]

Thanks BA - I was planning on trying the cheese crackers that use yeast, but no starter. But I will look at the amount of liquid and maybe hold some back

[cwcdesign]

Thanks. I’ll compare the amounts of the ingredients in both to see where o can adapt. Leaving my starter in the fridge for now - not quite ready to focus on it.

[cwcdesign]

Now that the countertops are in!! and they look great, tomorrow I might try baking the lime sugar cookies I've been wanting to make. I was already scheduled to have yesterday and today off and they gave me tomorrow off too.

[cwcdesign]

Will's turn to try the burgers tonight along with the no knead cheese burger buns I had put in the fridge, sweet potato fries and peas and/or avocado. It's raining right now but should be done by around 6. It's not connected to the tropical storm which should pass offshore in the early hours of the morning. We should have rain, wind and thunderstorms most of the day tomorrow

wrong

Sounds delicious chocomouse

[cwcdesign]

Thank you chocomouse. I did get to go say goodbye yesterday afternoon since they were transferring her to comfort care for end of life care. She deteriorated fairly quickly and there were no heroics which was her wish as she told the doctor who then confirmed it with me. When she was asked if there was anything she wanted she said "a Vodka Martini." By the time I got there she was sedated, but she knew I was there. It was very hard not being able to touch her or hug her. Around noon, the doctor said it could be hours.

Good thing I haven’t been buying them
