I am pleased you made contact as brief as it was Jody.
Trusting you are good spirit, despite all that is going on in your profession currently, as a result of the pandemic.

I might be able to rustle uo Jody's email...will have a look later this week.... Hello all. What ya need ? You can always email me. Hello Jody, Good to hear from you, I trust all is well. How are you faring from a grieving perspective as I recall you lost your partner earlier this year. My news is that I have a girlfriend now, we started to date just three weeks ago. We will change her name to Tara. Tara is one year older than me and has three kids. Tara and I started out as friends a year ago, neither one of us wanted more than that. We weren't physically attracted to each other. I started to get physically attracted to her when she told me after 6 months she was a lapsed christian and then started attending church with me. I found her values physically attractive and began to find her as hot. I am pen pal friends with various women around the world have met on message boards. One of my pen pals bugged me to hit on Tara. What followed was a 6 hour conversation, where her answer changed from "no way you are just a friend" to "will you be good to my kids" to "you need to lose weight as I do before there is any hanky panky". And suddenly we were dating. Things are very early days. And I feel like she is going to evaluate her feelings for me periodically and if she "isn't feeling it" will pull the plug so I don't feel secure in the relationship yet. But feel more so as each week passes and she is still there. Am so out of touch with dating after years of being alone, feel terribly vulnerable, and like my heart is in her hands to destroy at any minute. I feel dumb with my feelings. I wait eagerly for her to email or text and feel a stomach upset if she doesn't. I am probably far too into this and we both openly talk about that she isn't but is willing to date, give it a try, and let me earn her affection. Feels like long odds at success. But what else am I doing with my life. I think maybe better than long odds 50:50 maybe. Could go either way. There is my update.

Hello herc
It is so good to hear from you. And to see your heart 💜 open again. Don’t be hard on yourself. You are a delightful person and stimulating mind. You radiate actually. I wish you so much success. And you will trim down as needed. Just eat good food and avoid carbs like sugar bread wheat etc
I am making it over my loss. I found a certain peace that I didn’t think I would. Prayer matters. God found me although I wish it was even stronger. I pray and I know as the spirit is in me. I can’t believe it. Now I am ready to maybe love again. At least be open to it. I think the heavens approve although I seem to have a guide giving hints. It’s weird. Anyway. I work tomorrow and then I am off for a week. Well deserved. I will contact you within a week.
Be joyous. Your time has Come for happiness. I can just feel it.
In faith and love Jody

This is quite the news that you have found a connection with God. It is when we find inner peace and happiness that we end up surrounded by friends in relationships Relationships or a relationship is not the source of happiness, instead it is the by product and caused by being happy. If you need your partner to make you happy it will be a co dependent relationship at best.

I also meant to ask whether or not you were still involved hands on the Covid 19 or not?

Hello david, herc, chelle and everyone. I am doing better these days. So many things have happened this year. Just a brief update. As many of you know I lost my husband Egor this year in an accident. It was hard but somehow I was blessed with a spiritual visit and coming to feel and know God’s presence. He and his presence has comforted and given me growth. I am still on this journey. I have also tried to continue growing on other levels but this is a work in progress. I feel like there are thing I still need to do and give of myself. I still work in healthcare and Covid. Regularly. Matter of fact I had Covid in July. Pretty awful but I recovered in about a week followed by isolation. Now I feel good to be immune for now. I have tried to start traveling minimally. I am openTo feeling some love again. It is a challenging time. I hope everyone else is doing ok

Hi herc. Yes... lucky me got the Rona. I had a coworker getting chemo and radiation. I believe she was exposed and we work side by side. We feel like that I got it when we ate breakfast together. We where masks all the time here at work.
My symptoms were : in order. Pain. Hand pain specifically. Headache. Slight dry cough. Then temperature and aches. A lot of pain. Stuffy nose. Lost smell and taste. Bloody nose. Sweats. Fatigue. Took about 24 hours for full symptom manifestation. Fairly sick for about 5 days max and then a temperature for additional 3 days (slight) around 36C I never had shortness of breath but did have a bit of tightness in the upper chest for a couple weeks. There are basically 6 versions from mild to severe. I was a type 2. Mild with symptoms. I think it was more like the flu than a cold but not really like the flu.
Glad to have some immunity.

So good to hear that your covid was not the serious type and that you did not have to go into the hospital Jody. I'm sure it was still hell though. Glad you are feeling better.
