Work has been CRAZY for both Kevin and I because of COVID-19. I'm able to work from home full-time right now, but my amazing husband still has to go to the hospital every day. So, I worry about him constantly because he's in a hospital with all of this going on, but I know he's careful and staying as safe as possible... but things are just nuts for him right now. I'm not sure if most of you know what I do (so you may not know why my job is crazy right now), but I work for a non-profit called ECRI, and we help hospitals with lots of things, but my job in particular is to help hospitals with supply issues. I help them find devices or supplies that are functionally equivalent to items that they need (and usually they need these equivalents because of recalls or out-of-stock issues, or they just want to see what their options for certain categories and what the differences are between those items). Well.... as you know, ALL hospitals are having issues with obtaining many supplies right now (mostly N95 respirators, surgical masks, ventilators, ventilator parts, test kits, and various PPE)... so my job has changed a bit, but I'm incredibly swamped. Plus, a big problem that we're seeing right now is that there are a lot of scam vendors that are preying on hospitals right now because they know hospitals are desperate. It sucks, and it's truly upsetting that hospitals don't have enough supplies.
So, onto positive things. One great thing is that I'm able to work from home full-time right now, and our dear sweet Guinness is loving it and I'm sooooooo grateful for him right now. He's so comforting when I'm crazy stressed during the day. Other things that are good right now (see, I'm TRYING to focus on good stuff!! It's really hard some days, as I'm sure it's hard for all of us right now) is that I've been doing a lot more cooking, and we have plenty of food thanks to a few lucky trips to the grocery store. Kevin and I are both feeling good and staying healthy, and we're trying to really enjoy our evenings and weekends and take that time to de-stress. We're trying to enjoy some fresh air every day and we're trying to stay active. We take Guinness for walks every day (unless it's pouring rain... because we've definitely had some of that recently), and we've also been enjoying our back patio area. Another good thing is that Spring is mostly here! There are flowers out and about in our neighborhood, and most of the grass is turning green again. The trees in our area don't have any leaves yet, but that's gotta be coming soon! I'm excited to see green everywhere again soon. So, with that, I'll just end with a bunch of pictures of Guinness from the last month or so, and some pictures of flowers in our yard and/or neighborhood! I am going to try to do more posts, just to let you know what I've been up to and share happy stuff. Stay safe, and stay healthy!
This looked sooo uncomfortable to me, but Guinness slept like this for a long time!
He's been sleeping in the weirdest positions!
Here he is sleeping with his head buried in a pillow.
And this was on a different day, he decided to just lay on the pillow to sleep.
And Guinness has also been VERY cuddly lately!! He's been cuddling with me and Kevin a LOT, so he must be able to sense our stress levels or something... haha :)
Here's Guinness cuddling me.
Here he is cuddling Kevin...
Cuddling me again... He's full-on laying ON me in this one.
Here he is cuddling Kevin's legs...
Cuddling Kevin again...
My guys sleeping all curled up on the couch! So cute.
Here's one I just took today! He looks so distinguished and deep in thought. Haha :)
And now for our yard!!
Yay daffodils!! I love daffodils so much.
Blossoms on the plum tree in our front yard!
My Christmas Cactus is VERY confused, and is about to bloom again! It bloomed in December (like it does every year), but it's going again apparently...
