This is What My Anxiety Looks Like

Two weeks ago I got up in the morning to get the big boys ready and out the door to…

Mama’s boy and I’m not mad about it. Barron is 5 months old and his ears have perked up and stolen our hearts! #shepsky

Who else has joined #TikTok during isolation? 🙋

Who else has joined #TikTok during isolation? 🙋🏼‍♀️ First a watcher, now a participant. This is the #bippityboppityboo challenge after working out and deep conditioning my hair 💁🏼‍♀️ Nothing glamorous, just clothes for comfort at home from roseandriches.boutique and shopplpboutique #shopsmall

#hedgiesonic: King 👑 of Social Distancing since

#hedgiesonic: King 👑 of Social Distancing since 2018. Couldn’t give a quill about not being able to see or be handled by anyone! 🤣 Gave him a long overdue bath 💦 last night and made my first #tiktok I think it’s made a lot of people smile, swipe 👈🏻 to see!

I was riding the struggle bus yesterday and today

I was riding the struggle bus yesterday and today and could feel the anxiety and depression creeping in. I stayed home from my niece’s 6th “birthday party” yesterday (they’re our farming/cohort family) because I am only 5 days out of work so I didn’t feel it would be responsible for me to put them at risk in case I’m ‘incubating’ COVID. Laura sent me a beautiful pic of Clara with her cake and my eyes welled up with tears. I had a poor poor me attitude wondering how on earth we got to a place in the world where self isolation is so important. We’re allowed to feel this way, by the way, so no “suck it ups” are needed. I’ve been handling this pretty well, but I needed an all-things-pandemic break all weekend. I didn’t watch updates or check on stats, it was just too depressing after working 4/6 nights. Then this morning I just woke up on the wrong side of the bed and didn’t want to do bootcamp, but I did...and just felt awful emotionally and mentally and Ethan’s stubbornness during schoolwork this morning did NOT help.
Then I went for curbside pickup to town to get 100 more litres of potting soil 🌱 and the boys selflessly offered to help me pot my dahlias and many hands made light work. I think the boys must have sensed my ‘offness’ and just totally lifted me up. Then my brother and the kids called while we were making tacos and it just totally filled an empty hole that I didn’t know I had. This social distancing is HARD and I’m a person that loves being at home to recharge. It’s the weirdest feeling going to a store. You don’t want to be seen...you don’t want to be too close, you want to obey all the new rules and it just feels “forbidden” and frowned upon to be out and about. It’s so weird and I pray with all my might that this passes sooner than later ♥️ Mental health check: make sure you TALK TO PEOPLE!!! I didn’t even know I needed to until today. Thanks, Ben ♥️

This boy is all German Shepherd like his mama. Bui

This boy is all German Shepherd like his mama. Built like one, feels like one, ears like one...but looks like his Siberian Husky dad. He is almost 5 months old, has a wonderful temperament and is a great addition to the family. He’s learning to walk on a leash because we don’t want him wandering off into the fields when we walk and certainly don’t want him to run away.

The boys let me give them quarantine cuts yesterda

The boys let me give them quarantine cuts yesterday. And by cut, I mean throw a number 3 guard on Jay’s razor and go to town! Braden’s hair has been longer on the top for quite awhile but it was hanging in his eyes and he said it was time to cut it. Hopefully by the time he needs a cut again, we will have the option to go to a professional 🤞🏻These kids are handling isolation very well, the big boys started their school work yesterday, and of course they’re having fun playing video games, playing outside, helping Jay with some jobs and learning to do more chores every day. #bradenethanjonathan

Very grateful to be able to do my bootcamp workout

Very grateful to be able to do my bootcamp workouts streamed at home! I might even like it better because I don’t have to ‘get ready’ and go anywhere and am still motivated to do it because it’s live! I love how so many things are able to be adaptable in this crazy, unpredictable world.

I don’t usually post work-related things because

I don’t usually post work-related things because the lines get murky of what nurses can and can’t say on social media so we aren’t held liable for giving bad advice, etc. But, I’m just going to share my experience briefly because I want to remember this one day, and I want you to know how serious this is.
At the end of the day o March 20, 2020, there are now 195 cases of #covid_19, 1 death, and 3 recovered patients in Alberta. Our health region in Calgary has been hit the hardest in all of Alberta with 65% of the cases, and our province has tested 20,165 to date for novel coronavirus.
It seems today is when “shit got real”, at least that’s how it feels to me on the frontline of our hospital. Pardon the language, but there’s no other way to convey how serious this pandemic is. Tonight I’m assigned to our 4 bed isolation area where anyone who screens at risk for COVID-19, is back here with me.
627 people died in Italy today. Let that sink in: SIX HUNDRED AND TWENTY SEVEN people died in one day, in one country. Italy has now surpassed China’s death toll. Even if you think you are not at risk, act like you are; because you are a portal to infect others if you do not take social distancing, isolating, and quarantining seriously.
Stay home. Wash your hands. Disinfect things regularly with diluted bleach. Stay safe and be there for each other.

Day 2: I’m definitely not going to be doing dail

Day 2: I’m definitely not going to be doing daily posts, but I’m definitely accepting the fact that we’re home for the long haul. I had a big “a-ha” moment of thankfulness today that if this is had to happen, it’s happening in the middle of March in Canada and not the middle of November. We have the promise of spring and warmer weather, and I think a lot of us mental health sufferers would be in a much darker place if we were heading into winter, at least I know I would be. I’m keeping super busy “#quarancleaning” and tending to my plant babies.
Jay surprised the the boys with LEGO today after a trip to Walmart for some milk and Jonathan was ELATED to have his first ever—a monster truck! Built with help from biggest brother Braden.
