Hello darling SBTS!!! Sorry to be quiet earlier....I got a bad cold and sore throat and perhaps a little worried.....all over being a drama queen now. 
How goes the beach love? xx ❤️

Sorry to hear you’re not well Suze! I hope it’s just a cold and clears up quickly.
The beach is lovely. I spent some time this afternoon reading in one of the hammocks in this hut at the end of the dock. Then we went in the water. It’s warm, like bath water. About to go to dinner now.

That looks heavenly SBTS.
I am on day 3 but yesterday was tough. I started getting brain zaps and they are still here. They're not a result of alcohol withdrawal but people get them either when they've taken too much MDMA (ecstacy) or have discontinued an SSRI medication - it's called seretonin syndrome where the brain tries to rebalance itself when seretonin is significantly depleted. The amount of MDMA I took was dangerous and way above the normal dose so this is the result. I think it does go away eventually but it may be some weeks which is horrible.
I woke up in the middle of the night screaming - really bad night terror. Just a very scary experience.
But I'm alive and am on the mend and for that I am very grateful indeed. I probably shouldn't be. Funny, I was doing so well too.
This lock down is a blessing in disguise for now. Although I'm sure that when I get my equilibrium back that I will not consider it a positive thing in any way. My Dad's 84 - I want to see him again very soon. Hoping that is allowed to happen - maybe not in a month but some time in the summer?
Sorry about your cold, Suze. Hope it isn't anything serious.
Cheers all.

I find that my dog is really an emotional help. Briansy, you can make it! We all have regrets that we have to face and deal with....with honesty.
I saw the new radiologist on Tues. and appparently my oncollogist is waiting for results from my biopsies to see if there are particular markers, so that he can do immunotherapy. If not, I will need to have brain radiation (6 tumors) and probably chemo. I am SO tired every day. Hubby has TOTALLY picked up the slack. I think that I have slept most of the day for the last few days. I see the oncologist tomorrow, so hopefully he will have a treatment plan. Hubby is getting frustrated since no treatment is happening (as am I). Meanwhile, I am terrified to leave the house because of this virus, so he has to run all the errands, shopping, etc. Of course he uses a mask and gloves whenever he goes out, so I feel relatively safe when he comes home. Boy, the timing of this virus sucks! I SOOOOO wanted to go to Europe before I die (a bucket list item) and now travel is impossible....thank goodness that I believe that "everything happens for a reason"...what the reason for this, I don't know. Hubby is convinced that this was an engineered virus....I'm beginning to believe him. No new cases in China today.....just food for thought....

The brain zaps went at some point last night and I drifted off to sleep. I got about 5-6 hours but that was fine. I am feeling SO much better. Not in any way normal. But with a couple of decent eating days, exercise and sleep, I'll be fine. That was a really nasty scare. As you say, Dee, an opportunity to take stock and learn.
The waiting game continues on Covid!! It's gonna flare quick and get worse but the main thing is getting out of limbo and for businesses to start to function again. Not 100% but somewhat effectively. I have to think that happens a lot sooner than end of the year. But who knows I suppose? I'm hoping for a bounce back from September so we can work like crazy and salvage our year and don't go out of business.
Willow, your kitten looks amazing! Exactly what everyone needs in lock down!!!

Trudging I hope you still get to go to Europe
And hopefully they’ll work out what’s the best treatment for you soon. It must be an awful feeling just waiting in limbo. You’re doing so well, you really are an inspiration ❤️

Aww, I love him Willow ❤️ Here’s one of mine from the cat sitter:
Briansy I’m glad you are slowly on the mend.
TA, this virus chaos is so terribly timed for you. I hope it all shakes out sooner than later.
Suze how are you feeling?
Just woke up and ready for another day on the beach. It is strange being here — for sure better than being at home right now, but it’s hard for it to feel like a normal vacation. We are going to try to decide today whether to stay through next week. My feeling is we may as well since we are already here and it sure doesn’t look like we’ll be traveling anywhere else anytime soon.
More later, love to all.
