River ,'Out Of Gas'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Dcp. That sounds awful. I hope you feel better. A coworker of mine has been out for ...a week?...I think. I asked if she had Covid and she said it was the flu. The worst she has ever felt . She said she wasn't sure what was worse the flu or Covid. And she had the flu shot.
It just seems to be really bad this year.
There is an antiviral medication for the flu -- Tamiflu. (There might be more than one, actually, but Tamiflu is the only one I can think of.) Might be worth looking into.
Timelies all!
Health~ma to you, dcp.
How's it going, Sheryl? Did Mr S start his new school?
Laura, he started last week. So far, so good.
Oh no, dcp! I hope you feel better soon.
Glad you’ve gotten this far ok, Sheryl.
Definitely feels like there's more covid around again. I'm having second thoughts about the office holiday party on Thursday.
But not second enough to prevent me from making my sister's popular cranberry-white chocolate cookies.
I’m working the outlet sale this coming Thursday and Friday and I’m a little nervous about being in amongst potential crowds of people, but I’ll certainly be masked so probably it will be ok. It might not even be that many people most of the time.
I think, as a teacher, I've just accepted the risk at this point. I don't want Covid again, but I've been a close contact practically every other week the past 6 weeks, and the bivalent booster seems to be holding it off. We won't fully mask again as a school unless all of LA County goes back to indoor masking, and teaching with a mask is really hard (much harder than I would have guessed a year ago) in terms of connection and communication. I have to mask for 10 days every time I get listed as a close contact even if I test negative multiple times due to county regulations (currently masking until the 9th when the latest wears off), but otherwise I'm just rolling the dice. I did have some other nasty little bug (I'm guessing RSV based on symptoms) about a month ago. Otherwise, my overall teacher immunity seems to be building back up again. YMMV, of course; I've moved to a place of acceptance with whatever my friends, colleagues, and students decide to do, but I'm not changing too much else for the moment.
