Find A Wonderful Hand Sanitizer!!

Image
I have been using so much hand sanitizer, but it is killing my skin until I ran into Epoch Antiseptic Hand Sanitizer. It has lavender which has been used way back. According to the packaging, it says it "kills 99.99% of the most common germs and bacteria." The formulas are nondrying and don't damage nail polish.  All I can say is this is one of the better hand sanitizers I have used in the path couple of months. Click here to order.  It is a 5 pack for $16.25 

COVID 19 Hit Our Family

Image
COVID-19 has hit us. It didn't hit us health-wise, at least at this moment when I am writing this, but job-wise. My dad got laid off on Friday, April 24. This is not good. Why? because my mom doesn't work because she takes care of me. She is my caregiver.  We cannot live off my part-time job of $15 an hour 20 hours a week. There is no way.  Supposedly he is on temporary lay off from his work isn't kind.  They only think about themselves. They could have asked for him to go on a different shift. He has worked for the company for 37 years. He knows how to run 98% of the machines in the factory.  To top it off they aren't paying for their insurance now, so on April 24, they don't have health insurance now.  This scares me so much. How is this stay at home lockdown really helping people? People are losing their homes, health insurance, food, suicide, mental health, PTSD and the list goes on? How is this saving lives? My mom passed out in the middle of the night an

Do I Have COVID 19? Am I dying?

Sunday night, I had a pretty good headache but thought nothing of it. Usually every year in Spring I get many headaches due to the weather changing. So I didn't think anything of it. Monday, I woke up with my stomach not being nice to me. I couldn't stop running to the bathroom. TMI Warning!! I didn't have diarrhea, but I kept going and going. I was going at least 5 times every hour and it was a lot of stool every time I went.  I also had bone pain which was really bad. My back pain increased. I checked my temperature because I was having chills but was also sweating too. According to my Thermador, my fever ranged from 99 to 101. Crap. Is this COVID 19? or is this just my stomach with colitis or diverticulosis flare? I tried to g et comfy in my recliner but had a hard time getting comfortable so I went to bed until my back was screaming to get up and go back to the recliner. I did this all day and night on top of running to the bathroom.  My circulation to my feet was

COVID-19 Is Showing Cruel People

No one can get away from the news and devastation the Coronavirus COVID-19 is causing. This flu is scary especially for people with autoimmune conditions, such as myself. I am a little worried about it, but I am always worried about the regular flu, Norovirus, and colds too.  Ever since I was 9 years old I know to watch what I am touching and to wash hands   all the times.  Our governer stated even though this is an epidemic we are seeing kind people stepping out to help each other. I haven't seen that in my area. I see people buying 150 or more rolls of toilet paper, 25 or more Lysol sprays, 25 or more hand soaps and the list goes on. There are rows and rows of food out of stock. Why? This isn't like its a hurricane or fire or some sort of natural disaster. Its the flu. You can hire someone to the store to pick up food for you if you are sick or just can't get out.   I went to Meijers two days ago and almost got killed by a woman and a man. I asked the stocker if the

Sadness Oliver Crossed the Rainbow from FIP

6 As many of you know, I got an adorable baby boy (kitten) who ended up having so many health problems. If you don’t know I will catch you up. In May of 2017, my 16 year old cat Jakie passed away from cancer. You may not believe it or not but I have a pet communicator, Judy Ramsey. She amazing. Jakie told her he wants to come back in a year. I was so excited. Well around April 2019 I called Judy to find out if Jakie is ready to come back and he said, ”Yes.” I had to find a kitten who was around 1-4 weeks old. A friend of mine fosters orphaned baby kittens. They just got a bunch in. They sent me some pictures of them and Jakie picked the one he wanted to go in. Second time we saw him. I scheduled a time to see him. He is sooo tiny and adorable. I couldn’t wait to take him home. Finally, the end of July I got to take him home. I knew this was Jakie because Faith kept hissing at Trixie when we brought her home. When we brought Oliver aka Jakie home Faith ran over to

Oliver My Five Month Old Kitten Might Be Dying From A Common Respiratory Virus

My life is hitting me hard with so many negative things, but I never expected God to hit me this hard.  As you know from my previous post about my adoption of Oliver and him having to deal with severe diarrhea due to parasites and then an upper respiratory infection.  A couple of weeks ago we took him for his booster shots. After receiving the booster shots he started to sneeze a lot. We read that booster shots can cause cats to sneeze a lot, so we were blaming his sneezes on the shots.  Two weeks later, I came home from work around 5:30 pm to find him acting so strange. He wasn't his playful self. He still had an appetite. He had a little crusty stuff on his eyes. A huge red flag that something was seriously wrong was when I saw him on his perch shivering and looking very lethargic. When I petted him or pick him up he will cry in pain. Oliver loves being petted and picked up, so this was another red flag that something is seriously wrong with my boy.  My mom and I immediat
