Paul & I conclude the last part of our interview:
♦ what's working at home been like, any unforeseen complications? has work been understanding?
Synch issues with some email, but it has been ok. Check-in my staff in morning, then deal with emails, texts and phone calls. Board of Directors and management has been supportive. I have never missed a month of work in my life. Board presidents really helped with some of my duties. I have a lot on my plate and just last week finally caught up after 2 weeks back to work.
♦ have they had any bad illnesses there too?
My evening concierge got sick and was out and in the hospital for a couple weeks, that put stress on me during recovery. I don't know what his issue was. Won't say. He does have Crohn's, too.
♦ what else has been helpful?
Meditation during the dark times. Literally that is all I had to keep it together at times. Thankfully I had someone to help. Alone with this would be a disaster.
♦ how have others been helpful, other than by being sympathetic?
Neighbors bringing over dinners and lunches. Checking in, getting perscriptions. Watering our lawns, taking out garbage,etc. We are lucky to have such great neighbors and friends.
♦ what are your recommendations to others?
...Pneumonia vax. What else? Yes, stay on VAX and still be diligent. Don't be around non-vaxxed people or crowds. It sucks, I get it, but I played by all the rules and I was slammed. Doctors said if I wasn't vaxxed I would be in ICU on ventilator or dead. Stay hydrated and healthy.
♦ what questions should i have asked you, what other info do you want to impart?
I could not stomach any gory or sick movies! Tried starting new American Horror Story and it was too much.
Very thorough questions.
And I forgot to mention a couple songs that resonated with me:
They just hit me emotionally, I guess. I need calming music. Cale's is more dirge, but it was a song I played constantly when I left home for Seattle.
Thus ends our interview. To date, Paul is doing well.
