Reminder check in on people and be kind :)

[TammyLynn33]

I know as this is personal it may appear as a vent and maybe it is, but just a reminder ( society ) we are all tired ..pls just take a moment and check on your friends and neighbours who are isolating .
Littlest complained of a sore throat night before last and woke with one. No other symptoms but with schools new rules DD can’t go if anyone has even one symptom , so I did the right thing and took him In yesterday am.whole family now isolating till results come back as ordered .
I reached out and shared with a few friends and honestly not one offer to see if we needed anything . I even had a “friend” say “great day to start a diet”
Luckily I had an old box of freezies in the pantry to help his sore little throat. And will place a grocery order today if no results come back .
Im just sad I guess..please if someone confides in you just make sure they are ok, that they have no immediate needs.. they may even say no but hearing someone offer to help is priceless ..again I feel like the all in this together is no longer applicable most days, and it’s probably when we all need it most.
Leaving my pity party now ha ha just wanted to gently remind ppl how easy it is to make a difference

Awe that sucks. Sometimes people just don’t think. ((Hugs)). And sending positive thoughts your way for a negative test and quick results.

I feel you and I hope that your tests come back negative.

Take care. Things have hit an all time low and I think people are so weary. Not an excuse to not be kind though. I’ve had a tough few weeks and I’m lucky and grateful that my friends rallied around me. I agree—it helps so much.

I think you are right and if we were to dig deeper with our friends and neighbours we could all find someone who needs a hug ( that we can’t give ) and a kind word.
I hope your littlest is ok and that you all are able to enjoy your weekend. And thank you for the reminder. I will reach out to a few people today and just see how things are with them . Sometimes even knowing someone cares is enough to brighten someone’s day.

I’m so sorry this is your experience. I know it’s so hard to reach out for help. Please don’t stop doing so! The next time, or even again in this situation, reach out again. Hopefully they will be able to help this time.

I’m so glad you shared this, it’s such a good reminder.

Sending you and your family good thoughts! Hope your tests come back negative!

He came back negative just like I thought he would ! DD is back at high school as she was absolutely horrible to deal with ( how quickly she forgot she had to be tested once before )
I’ve def re-evaluated things and ordered a huge re-stock just in case and will once again maintain .. I had slacked a little and today is my usual grocery day.
thankful it was eye opening now not when someone was actually sick with COVID and having to isolate 14 days or longer .
happy Friday all

Glad your little one just has a sore throat and nothing more serious. I agree with you about keeping the pantry/freezer stocked. We are not out of Covid and all it can throw at us yet. Hopefully this will all be in our rearview come fall.

Have a peaceful weekend.
