One of my favorite residents died (in a rehab care place) the same day that Betty White did, but I didn't find out until this morning. She was 93 and very frail, so while it's not tragic, it's still sad. Part of the job, I know, but still.
But at least two other residents came back from hospitalization today. And only one resident is on Covid isolation (not quarantine -- so not an active infection) so overall the situation seems under control.
On the up side, I got another favored resident out to get his glasses repaired. Found a convenient parking space in Harvard Square just around the corner, too -- and then I was able to get my own glasses repaired, because a teensy screw came loose over the weekend.
Still, it was a day that I kept paddling as fast as I could.
Pix, I'm very sorry. It's a lot. ~ma to you.
askye and dcp - I am so sorry about your losses. My condolences.
Hi, hi. Laura emailed and asked me to post this very important announcement: Yesterday, we celebrated the natal day of shrift! Many happy returns to you, shrift. Glad you're home safe and sound.
As I've said many a time to many of you -- Birthday +1 is totally a thing. Happy B+1, shrift!
(Laura is recovering in bed this week -- if memory serves, it's her foot surgery; she misses y'all and is hoping to make a return to the glowy box tomorrow).
Pix that is a lot. Take care of yourself...
Since I'm officially a New Yorker again I look forward to the disease-fighting properties of all that swagger.
Pix, I’m so sorry.
asker, I’m so sorry for your loss.
Omicron numbers are shooting sky high in highly vaxxed SF. So even though only 5% of people who get infected are going to the hospital (instead of 15% during Delta), there are so many infected it's still starting to strain the healthcare system.
Still trying to get Matilda a booster, but while the FDA approved 12-15 y.o.s, the CDC hasn't recommended it. And I'm afraid it's going to sweep through her high school in that lag time. Especially everybody coming back from the holidays (and her boyfriend coming back from Texas), it just seems inevitable she's going to get it. Need to try to snag an at-home test kit today. Walgreens restocks on Tues & Fri and they sell out immediately.
I had a couple of post-holiday appointments scheduled for the end of this week, and now I'm going to reschedule them to February.

Aw! Thank you for relaying the message and recovery~ma for Laura.
