I love how we all watch out for each other and help each other.
Socially distant hugs to any who want or need them. Why socially distant? Because I am sick. Probably Covid, though rapid was negative and I'm waiting on PCR. And where am I? Connecticut, after flying to Florida and then flying my dad up here. So I've now potentially exposed both elderly parents, my elderly aunt, ND, and anyone else I encountered the last couple days (though Dad and I did stay completely KN-95 masked on the plane and terminals). My dad is staying with my aunt; ND and I are staying with my mom. Also, we were supposed to drive my dad up to Vermont tomorrow to visit with a friend and see some places he hasn't seen in years, and we had to cancel all of that because even if my PCR comes back negative, I have a 101.2 fever and some other more minor symptoms, so I have something.
I'm isolating in one of Mom's guest rooms. No one else has symptoms, so I'm crossing every finger and toe that I didn't get anyone else sick. They are all over 50 and had their second boosters (my last booster was the end of September), and ND and my rapids came back negative, so at least not a heavy viral load? But fuck. This may set off a domino of me not being able to get Dad back to Florida and is having to come up with more cash for more housesitting/puppy care.
PCR will come in late tonight or early tomorrow. Wish me negative. Hoping this is just a cold or something.
Much negativity ~ma, Pix.
Oh Pix I hope that you feel better soon.
Steph my sense of smell ins't that great so the only smells that really bother me are salmon cooking or being cooked and a few others.
Mostly it's touch, taste and sound.
Ok so in more stress-- Mom's cat Lovey (well now our cat) has to go to the vet. He got a cut on the top of his head the other day, I think from the kitten rough housing. I saw it, cleaned it up. Dabbed a little vaseline to cover it up and protect it. And then promptly forgot to check on it again.. and..M found him and his face /head was swollen --he had an abscess or something. I won't give any details. So now we have to call the vet in the morning and see if they will see him and try to get him all taken care of. Mom said she'd cover any of his vet bills so now I have to call Mom and let her know what is going on ...I feel bad I didn't notice but no one else did either until tonight so.. it wasn't just me
Timelies all!
Today is Mr. S's birthday. He turns 7. He's had some red zone behavior today, but camp went fine as far as I know.(It was pajama day, which was a complete coincidence) Right now he and Gary are putting together a Lego Star Wars thing.
Happy birthday to Mr S! Glad it’s been a relatively good day for y’all
Argh. Had a migraine Saturday, Monday, and today. Didn’t take meds until v late today because I was hoping to avoid taking them for the third time in five days but eventually gave in. Felt fine by like 730pm. Figured maybe I could get a good nights sleep tonight since I have meetings from 7am until 630pm tomorrow (not straight through but like seven hours of meetings). Nope—just woke up at like 1230am and ended up puking. Not sure if it’s something I ate or the migraines revenge or what but I am not happy about this.
I would like for the Universe to lay the hell off my Buffistas for a while. Just let us catch our breath, ok? This is long past ridiculous and into serious back-off-mantis-fucker territory.
Positive for Covid. Everyone else is getting tested today. Currently staring out the back window and trying to figure out what I'm going to do in this bedroom for the next five days (assuming symptoms are gone by then).
