I don't go about getting COVID self tests for every little thing just because I don't want to bother my staff with them, but today, I'm having what I think/hope is just a little stomach bug but I also have a slightly more runny nose than usual, so I finally requested a test. Getting one in a bit.<br /><br />As for the easing of restrictions, I'm so glad they're easing where you are. Here, we just entered another lockdown last week, but even without it I don't really feel safe going places anyway.<br /><br />I'm so happy you'll have your family all together for a few days soon! Yes, it must feel a little saddening to realize your youngest will soon be alone with you, but it's the way things go. #MischiefandMemoriesAstridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10381016727248405767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-1381865560772570642021-11-28T11:47:39.980-08:002021-11-28T11:47:39.980-08:00So very sweet.

With the exception of truly elderly, all of the current generations are learning that we are not as in control as we like to think.

I wouldn't go back to those days for anything..I mean of the "farewells" to things and memories. I suspect the times with my kids were more like relief. Daughter left first at 21 and yes I "felt" it...then she came and went a few times. SON stayed (overstayed) till 25 and his room got converted the next day for me and craft. It was when I was packing up to think about leaving Sydney and those many, many memories of grandkids days with all their words and videos and pics I knew we were never seeing those time again. I am now 7 years past it, and far more into the better time we are enjoying in our early 70s. It's been great to have you share your post this week for #lifethisweek on Denyse Whelan Blogs. Thank you. I hope you will be back next week, where the optional prompt is “young” but my guest poster, Mr Whelan, is sharing his thoughts for the final time on the blog in 2021 on a different topic. See you there, Denyse.Denyse Whelan.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16888810644186418559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-55645515083988164332021-10-26T09:04:33.055-07:002021-10-26T09:04:33.055-07:00I enjoyed your post.

The format of the post is good. I often just want to talk about one thing or two but don't think I could stretch it to an entire blog post - so skip writing about it entirely. <br /><br />I'm really happy you've been able to get out and about more and catch up with some older / more vulnerable friends and family but also understand your fears about school restarting etc...

I totally get all the memories on Facebook popping up, it seems this has always been our favourite time to take off overseas and I'm loving seeing all the photos and updates from those days. I do wonder when I will be 'game' enough to get in a plane to go and see my daughter and granddaughter in England, thinking I'll wait a while yet but i did print out my international Covid certificate/passport thingy! #weekendcoffeeshareDeb's Worldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12706654888846671781noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-53359832115049208992021-10-23T13:55:55.917-07:002021-10-23T13:55:55.917-07:00Lovely quotes and picturea chosen X #kcacols Lovely quotes and picturea chosen X #kcacols thisiswhereitisathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00562590012796034024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-119733539095505639.post-37061525000769653512021-10-23T05:15:58.318-07:002021-10-23T05:15:58.318-07:00I love that rainbow quote!
