Covid to the left of me Crazy/ Stupid mother-in-law to the right.

oh, man things are getting even more Crazy.

My mother called me to tell my cousin(had covid BV -before vaccine- and got shots and boosted) called her My cousin's husband (also covid BV but didn't get Vaxxed) is running a fever and has a massive headache she is helping him with a test. Her sister and sister's husband (both vaxxed and boosted) who live in the DC area tested positive for covid needless to say they aren't coming to the hometown for the holidays.

My cousin is going to call my Anti-vaxxed/hoax believing sister to encourage her to stay away. This cousin and my sister have always been close so we are hoping she listens to her. My mom doesn't want me talking to my sister she wants me to stay out of it. She doesn't want us fighting.

So I called Stepmom in law to see how's her Granddaughter in the hospital is doing. They drop her Granddaughter from 6 litters of oxygen to 3 litters. which I am taking as a good sign. Stepmom in law seems to be under the belief that Granddaughter will be home for Christmas. I told Stepmom I don't think the hospital will rush to discharge her (am I right or wrong?)

Stepmom then said she ordered Christmas dinner to be sent to her Great Grand kids and the roommate who are stuck at the home all having Covid. Good idea as a friend of mine when she had covid was allowed deliveries as long as it was left at the door. (am I right?)

Then Stepmom tells me she told the roommate to take the kids to the park up the street. I told her they are Quarantined they can't leave the house. She countered They are in isolation. I said it is basically the same thing. they can go out to their own back yard if you want them to get fresh air but they can't go anywhere they can infect others. She didn't like my statement.

I am so glad we are just dropping off food.

and commiserate greatly with you and yours. I see it in some families of people I know, but now my son who I rarely see and my 94-year old aunt who lives halfway across the country are the only close blood relatives I have.

My inlaws are sometimes fun, though.


I hope you have a lovely Christmas and all, despite the eggshells and landmines you must navigate.
