I'm burnt out on school work. 🤷 I have a six-page minimum paper and a 10-slide Power Point due by Tuesday night. I'm eating pizza and procrastinating.

After this week, I'm almost done with this term. There's a big quiz in the psych class and another PP in professionalism class but this week/right now is the biggie, the most work. I hope I wake up with more motivation tomorrow. Today, I'm protesting by being lazy.

Ali,

Anything worth having is worth fighting for.

This is your fight. It’s definitely a struggle. I know that you are exhausted!

Don’t lose sight of the prize at the end.

It will all be worth it in the end.

Pizza 🍕 is always a great comfort food! Hope you enjoyed your pizza.

I may make you a bit mad, Hahaha... I do like Chicago pizza but I like New York pizza better! 😊

Llama,

Was that a thread on this forum? I have never seen or heard of it. Or are you referring to something else?

NeedHelpWithMom: It's the set of 4 daily emails that come in every day (except only 3 on Saturdays). I didn't think much of it (thought it was just a glitch) when it didn't arrive on Saturday, March 27, 2021. It's the only way that we are alerted to new questions and discussions. How do YOU know when you're answering a brand new question?

Send: Thanks so much. I am still in catch up mode. That's what comes in the daily emails - The Daily Ask and Answer. Earlier today I changed my password and I plan to look at things further, but having pneumonia, I tire out.

Hello everyone and thank you for the private messages from you - Beatty, Sendhelp, Paul, ITTR, Anche and 2 from you, GardenArtist. I appreciate you all. Pneumonia was unexpected since I had asked the hospital and my PC doctor several times over on a prior visit if "the little bit of fluid on my lungs" was of concern. "No, do not worry." As it turned out, a medication that my urologist had put me on had a rare side effect of pneumonia. I did the right thing in calling EMS as in under 40 minutes, I had a dx of pneumonia and was well taken care of at the hospital. Additionally, the pneumonia gave me an off-the-charts pain level migraines. The urologist scored a D- in my estimation.

Also, my husband's oldest sister passed away on March 20. She suffered from Alzheimer's and a caregiver gave her COVID. She was placed on morphine after being in the hospital for 2 weeks. I was able the view the live stream of her funeral since, understandably, I could not go.

Send,

Very clear instructions! I opted out of emails so I had no idea what the ‘question and answer’ deal was.

Llama, I’m glad to hear you are getting better. Take it easy - you will tire very quickly after your illness so look after yourself - no stress!!

My therapist suggested to try slow abdominal breathing... I so decided to try and take some yoga classes. I have never tried it before but I know a yoga teacher and so I asked her if she could give some online classes. She agreed and I will start on Wednesday!

Anche,

Yoga is fantastic! So is Tai chi. You can find YouTube videos for each of them too.

Christie’s Auction house sold an NFT digital art piece for nearly $70 million dollars!

I never thought we would ever see such a thing in my lifetime!

Digital art is huge at the moment.

My daughter is so excited to see the digital art exhibit on Van Gogh’s work. The exhibition started off in Paris.

It all sounds crazy to me. I suppose that I am old fashioned and prefer to see actual paintings.

Chris: Thank you. I do tire easily. When my DH had returned from his sister's funeral last Thursday, he sees me propped up in bed (I seriously had just got there, having been busy putting laundry in, working at computer, bathing, eating, etc.) and told him so. Otherwise he thinks I am in bed the entire time.😂

Need: You're very welcome.💚 I wish I had commented to you earlier, but couldn't.

How can digital art sell for that much if it's just projected on a surface?

Sendhelp: I tried the settings, subscriptions clicking. Only a save option once you get into your profile. I think what happened (and I am mad at myself) was that I was answering Daily Ask and Answer from 3/19, 3/20, 3/21, 3/22, 3/23, 3/24, 3/25 and 3/26. So that was 31 new emails that I answered in catch up from being in the hospital. I clicked on the only save there was and I will see if I get the email of 4 new questions tomorrow.
Thank you for your time and effort.

Llamalover, I’m sorry to tell you that I went into a paddock two days ago and found Hector dead on the ground. He hadn’t seemed to be ailing before then, so I think his time was just up. He was about 20, which is much older than the average age of 14 that we were first told about. He had a good life, so there is nothing to regret. But we both miss him.

We borrowed another alpaca immediately from a friendly neighbor who currently doesn’t have any sheep - they decided to try a steer instead. Jesse is white so not so easy to pick at a distance. We are currently lambing, so it was very kind of them to lend us Jesse. Perhaps you could spare a thought for Hector, now in Alpaca heaven looking after the little angels. And I hope that you are feeling a little better every day. Yours, Margaret
