Looking for fun things to do to connect at home or outside that someone who (person 1 has bad knees, a bad shoulder, & a bad back) & (person 2 has a bad wrist, and bad knees). My husband and I have had a hard time connecting lately and we don’t have our fun hobbies in common. We are happy together but looking for fun new ways to connect.
My husband left at 2:30 this morning to drive five hours to see his specialist in the Bay Area. About 20 minutes later, someone tried to break into our house. I keep thinking he must have seen my husband leave and thought no one was home.
I called 911, and he kept trying to get inside while I waited. The police arrived about 10 minutes later. He was still there when they got here, so they caught him. I’m relieved they did, but those 10 minutes were terrifying.
Meanwhile, I was trying to find if there is anywhere I had masks stored upstairs and get some for the police when they came to talk to me. My friend came over so I wouldn’t be alone, and one of the cops politely asked her why we were masking. He wasn’t rude. It’s just wild that this was another thing I had to think about and deal with while someone was trying to break into my house. 😩
Someone I know said “I just don't like wearing a mask because I get this weird redness? Rash? Dry skin? On my face under the mask
I tried lotion and other random things and nothing worked. It seemed like some ppl like doc/nurses that have to wear masks say it just happens to them too. My doc didn't know why either.
Ever heard of that?
It doesn't hurt or itch, but I hate how it looks. It's not a lupus butterfly.
I do have UV sensitivity but I don't think the mask is magnifying the UV or anything. It happens inside or outside.
We had n95 from housework but they didn't fit me well, uncomfortable.
The kn95 are more comfortable. Those are the only types I tried. I also have a latex allergy.”
Anyone have this happen to them and found a mask that then worked that this didn’t happen with? Looking for mask recommendations for them to try. Thanks! 🙏
I have been trying to build a covid cautious community and make friends with people who get it. It’s been really hard to build this and I haven’t made a lot of friends with people who genuinely seem to want to spend meaningful time hanging out with me. It’s something I long for. But I met someone who genuinely wants to be friends and is willing to mask inside or test. Idk how my partner feels about that yet though for precautions. I feel compelled to move forward with this because it’s something I’ve been wanting but it’s not something I was expecting…and it feels hard to like let go of my feelings about people not taking precautions in general and what I feel comfortable saying and doing. We have hung out outside a couple of times now. They have not masked or offered to in those situations. Anyways just kind of wondering how you all might navigate that if you are typically not in these situations. I know lots of you are ok with this…but it’s not something I’ve ever really wanted to navigate. I always mask around others outside too btw.
Just spent the weekend removing all our blackberry bushes (everything except for the rootballs). I have a bad back and we really can’t afford to hire someone to dig them all up….its a huge area. What are good tips for how to make sure it won’t come back that will also allow us to plant in this section come October. The empty sections are what we removed. Still have to haul it away. It was all along the fence and the entire “empty” looking area. I removed a very small amount of rootballs today and it didn’t even make the tiniest dent in it. I feel overwhelmed. My whole body is sore. I will throw out my back if I have to do this.
This is the first cosplay that I’ve done. I made everything myself (jewelry, tassel - even tied the knot myself, boots, weapon, gloves, shoulder pad, & hemmed the skirt and shirt). I didn’t wear a wig as I’m not a huge fan of them on me, so I just did a temporary hair dye. I’m really proud of how well it all turned out. :)
I have completed my craft loft set-up at my new place and I’m obsessed! I thought I’d share here. :)
