My late mam used to keep a whistle next to the phone and if she got a pest call she would take a deep breath and give the whistle a long blow next to the phone.

I love it!   I have to find my whistle.

The MRI came out fine but my Neurologist has no idea why I am still having headaches.

He referred me to a doctor who specializes in hypertension and headaches.I have an appointment on Feb.22.

It could be the stress from everything is taking a toll.  Even my 40 year old daughter is finding these times to be difficult.

Happy to hear the MRI came back ok.    It does get tiring going to doctors all the time, but seeing a specialist is a great plan of action.    Take care and enjoy your day 🤩   How's the weather where you are?    Any more snow?   I am getting tired of shoveling every couple of days.

It snowed overnight and is supposed to snow Sunday and every day next week.We live in a town house condo and the maintenance crew and and outside company clean the snow.However,my wife shoveled a bit after the last storm.She was afraid that we would not be able to get out the door.

Love it! Your mam and I think alike. I blow it directly in the voice piece.  I get more annoying robocalls than obnoxious live calls so I don't always get the pleasure of blasting the whistle.

It may be because my really bad headaches began two days after the death of a very close friend.However,no headaches after my best friend died from Covid in April.

It catches up to you when you least expect it.

I think that the stress tends to "accumulate" (for a better word).

 

In April, we were much stronger "mentally", thinking Covid it's just a "blip" on our otherwise "normal" life.

 

Sadly, now, we know better 😢

Marietta.

No cruising and 6 weeks lockdown with at least another 6 weeks lockdown to come in the UK has got me down.

Dani's thread has given us all something to look forward to every day.

She is, she is a teacher and the back and forth with virtual and in person learning is taking its toll.  She has a 10 and 6 year old also that need to go back and forth.  She just wishes, as we all do, that thing would normalize.  I try to talk it out with her as our family has been through a lot of trauma and we decided we have had enough!

That "being" wouldn't survive one hour in the New England winter we have been having.
