That's wild, Jess.
I would not want to swab myself. It was uncomfortable and went on for too long when it was done for me, so I doubt I would do it as thoroughly as it's supposed to be done.
Every nightmare I have that doesn't revolve around academic failure or public nudity is about that thing. In fact, once I dreamt that it attacked me while I was late for a test and naked.

Our wings are not tired.
Mostly I went to the DIY place because it was the closest, only 45 miles, which up here is close. In Florida I just go to my doctor.

Because books.
When I got tested in April, they didn't do the touch-the-brain swab. It was just a regular Q-tip up my nose for half a second. I wonder how come, and if it was actually as accurate.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
And it's been 2.5 weeks since I donated, with no results, so time to call and nag them.
I don't remember if I got results anywhere other than the app -- I was glad someone at the drive told me to get the app for that purpose!
And you have to keep your windows rolled up until you get into the tent labeled "hot zone" where they do the actual swabs, so all communication is done by guys in fatigues holding up signs at you like you're in some kind of dystopic Arrival/Love Actually crossover.
That is incredibly evocative!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I've been checking the website for results. They have the other stuff like hemoglobin, but no antibody test yet.

And now there was some kind of problem with my donation? That no one told me about? So they couldn't test it? But they're trying to set up testing on its own or something? So maybe they'll call me?

I have been trying to make a new appointment to give blood when I'm eligible again so I can get the antibody test but their website really doesn't seem to like me. Either I can't log on or it won't show me any appointments for my local blood center, just blood drives 10+ miles away that are too soon for me to give blood anyway. They said they were merging my account with a truly ancient Sacramento area account because I guess the companies or whatever they are merged so, yay my donation history is way more complete but I suspect that might be contributing to my login problems. Frustrating.
