That's good news. Did they tell what (if anything) you need to do differently next year?

The more I learn, the more I realize how little I know.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Timelies all!
Good news, shrift!
I usually go get tested on Thursday, but since I'm only in the lab on Friday this week, I guess that's when it will be.(and it will be a walk-up, rather than scheduled, as I did not bring my work computer home.)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Glad to hear that, shrift!

My state's Red Cross gave me a scare today by calling me about my recent blood donation. It was just to thank me and ask about setting up my next appointment, not to inform me of a positive test result, thankfully. (I can see online I tested negative for Covid-19, but not anything else they screen blood for, and I'd assumed they only call you if there's a problem.)
I told the lady I'd prefer to set up an appointment close to the date of, when I can be more sure about my schedule. What I did not say was I'm still holding out hope of getting together with my crush again before early December, and thus removing my eligible donor status.

Hopefully this was a one-time issue. I didn't get paper copies or an electronic notification that I had tax documents that I needed to include in a filing, so now I've made a list of all the places I'll need to check for tax documents in the future.

What is even happening?
Thankfully tests are free in California, and in Los Angeles we are consistently getting results in 24 hours and they guarantee results in 48 hours.
I think our tests in MA (in August) were only free if they were medically necessary (or maybe for essential workers). We just wanted them, without a doctor's referral, so we could go to Maine for a week. That was August though. I haven't paid attention since then, because we work from home and don't interact with others, except for masked grocery excursions.

To answer my own question, here's the Massachusetts page on testing. There's free stop the spread testing in select communities, but according the the FAQ, you don't need to live in those communities and you don't have to be sick. You just have to be a MA resident.

Our wings are not tired.
Tests both here in Florida and in New York are free and easy to get. My sister got her negative results today. We thought that would be the case, but always good to know. She is still quite sick, but just normal ick.

Days shrink and grow cold, sunlight through leaves is my song. Winter is long.
The thing that pettily, I'm angriest about is, we are finally able to travel a bit, and thanks to...words fail me here, inaction on the part of government, Covid is going to be endemic, forever, on this planet. Vaccines are going to be the only way to mitigate that fact. And so H and I are effectively trapped for however many years until a vaccine is available, and affordable. And by that time I may be unable to travel, if indeed I still have an interest. Yeah, aside from the racism and the economic ruin and infrastructure decay and erosion of respect for the country in the rest of the world and the unending litany of destruction that follows our present incumbent, I am livid, on a personal scale, that I may never see beyond my city limits again.
