Hi Sarah:
I am doing fine. In New Orleans we are used to hardships like this. The good news is we still have electricity, cable, wifi etc to help with staying indoors. But we are getting hit with the people getting the virus. I live alone now since my husband died a year ago and my daughter got married and moved away. So social distancing isn't new to me. Hope you are well, and Miss J too.

Thanx Sarah for checking in. (miss j took of her wrist brace just to type this)
I'm not doing very well but can't complain. Reason I can't complain is that I have a hand injury out of NOWHERE where it makes it hard to type on keyboard. ('nowhere' is arthritic conditions and now in my HANDS.)
I've got a LITANY of med issues and each time I check on ONE of them, ANOTHER one crops up. Then come the deaths and other problems happening in my family. I'm 9 years BEHIND in getting the hip replacement. My living situation too unstable to get it. Not being able to do athletic stuff has resulted in in a LITANY of health issues. OUCH. cant elaborate much further.
Moving away from Cambridge (where Harvard and MIT is) as in being EXHILED from real estate transfers, has financially DRAINED me and DISTANCED me from near by doctors, health stuff and social activity revolving around type of intellectualisim I'm used to. I used to self support this site and also my basic expenses from CONTACTS in MIT/HARVARD community where I would TUTOR students. All that is GONE now.
Bottom line is that REMOVAL from Harvard and MIT, hospitals and contacts where I was able to subsidize this PS site has RUINED me and resulted in accelerated AGING. Hence far, I've got everything EXCEPT the corona virus.
All I ask is that peoplE DON'T e mail me privately about PS issues. With this out of blue wrist injury, I just have time to THANK people who make a contribution which I do when taking the hand BRACE off.
In short, I'm NOT dead yet. But not having the time, mind or HAND resources to focus on PS problems as I used to have the luxury of doing.
In the event I leave the planet, my legal guy (ex husband and BEST FRIEND) will keep website open pending enough AMAZON sales. |
Miss J. Seeing eye companion to the aesthetically blind since 1998.

Hi Everyone - this is such a surreal experience. I think we are all getting through it the best we can. And that is a moving target since there is no way to know how long it will last. Here is a very good YouTube channel I have been following - lots of good pointers on what is going on and the steps you can take to protect yourself. His name is Dr John Campbell and he is very easy to listen to - rather calming actually with his relaxing British accent - (unlike most of the news these days). And he has a lot of great science backed info on what to take to prevent or treat Covid 19 https://www.youtube.com/...UCF9IOB2TExg3QIBupFtBDxgWishing you all well - and stay well! Its very hard to be so isolated - I'm doing Zoom or Skype calls with loved ones. MissJ I am glad to at least know you are OK - so sorry about your wrist! I hope things somehow get better for you. You have been such a help to so many of us.

Can you put off moving until after this is over? That is so much to cope with?
I am on my own too and finding it tough ( my husband just died last month) so I am trying to make 'to do' lists each day to keep myself motivated.It really does help.
I am here if you need to talk. You can PM if you like. Big hugs xxx
