Good job, Karl!

I took off my fitbit to charge it last week but the cable was wonky so it didn't charge and now I don't know where I put it. It'll turn up. I should really make more of an effort to move regardless.

All swabbed - that was uncomfortable but not as bad as I feared. I haven't figured out how I get the results but they emailed me a confirmation of my appointment so presumably the results can come the same way

I just let me phone track me, which is not great, but whatever.

Fingers crossed, -t and msbelle. I've figured I don't need a test, even though my mayor is saying anyone should get one whenever, but since I've been to a few protests, maybe I will now?

I am drowning my sorrows in homemade strawberry shortcake.

By the way, are scones just fancy shortcake?

Back at urgent care today. They did warn me that the guy who moved to FRICKING ALASKA was their expert in getting IVs in, and I have small veins. I was prepared, I don't even blame them. But four tries to get an IV in seems unfair.

Ouch, Dana. That's definitely not fair. I hope you are getting some relief now.

Bubble wrap~ma to everybody who's feeling a little extra fragile these last few weeks.

Oy, Dana.

Hi, Karl!

(I should be writing).

As with masks, getting tested now and then means you're not just looking out for you. It's the hidden cases walking around and coming into contact with other people that's spreading it, so if we keep testing as widespread as possible it's going to keep that second wave pushed further off.

A thing I learned this year: I hate writing policy papers. The research's fine (and sometimes a challenge - in a good way, I love data challenges), it's the specific way of putting the data on paper that is killing my soul.

After all my big talk yesterday about walking, I didn't get up in time to walk before my 9am meeting! But I think I can run out after this one...
