Carmina also called up Mom Violy said alright and still faraway to decide.  Carmina felt Mom Violy should get the flu shot since we'll be traveling to California upcoming vacation.

What happens when our bodies change during lockdown?

Everyone couldn't believe someone who was over aged can have a baby at that age of course to us it is a blessing if you can still have a baby when you are under going menopause.

We also learn that not only you are having a difficult time as well the people surrounded around you. We also learn to change the way we live in what we don't normally do and being in this type of strict environment let us realize what we may have than other people we know.

Your parents don't want to admit they have a problem hearing and they won't allow to wear a hearing aid to them there is nothing wrong with them.
