Oh and that food service has no minimal sick leave. And if you start talking to certain people about how there needs to be guaranteed sick leave ESPECIALLY in customer service and food service people get pissy and talk about how it will just be abused and it's .. socialism or something like that.

I had today off from work for a doctor's appointment and various utility-related moving errands. The former went great, All my blood work looked good, my BP was 127/75, and I've lost 6 pounds since my last visit 6 months ago, mainly through getting more exercise. Supposedly the lack of stair climbing at the new home will help my achy Achilles tendon, as will continuing to lose weight.

The utilities errands were mostly a bust, I waited a half hour at the power company to find out I need to come back closer to moving day with a copy of the finished house purchase contract. (I also need to return to the cable company the day before the move to switch addresses, but at least I got to talk to a customer service rep immediately and was able to get pricing info for services at the new house.)

Then I finished culling my videotape collection and have started hauling trash bags full of old tapes down to the dumpsters. Next up, packing books and gaming supplies.

Productive, Matt!

I am the opposite of that so far today.

Met an old friend for lunch in Baltimore yesterday, and it was so much fun catching up. This is the one I felt really guilty about losing touch with, so, yay! Re-established contact.

Today I have a bunch of work to do and very little oomph, so I need to get on that.

Just noting that all of you that said watching The Great British Baking Show was a worthwhile way to spend time, were correct.

So, I was out sick with a headcold yesterday (It's been passed around the family). Took my rapid and PCR tests. Felt better today and went into work.

Where I am not allowed to be because my test results have not come back (they usually post around 3 am. I figured there was an email issue). Because the lab has 4 people out today. So, I'm at home, waiting for my test results to post to see if I can go to work.

Timelies all!

My supervisor decided yesterday that I could take use-or-lose leave today and tomorrow. Today was pretty productive. I scheduled a mammogram for next week, got a new prescription for Periogel (it’s part of my dental routine) and watched two episodes of “Leverage:Redemption”, season one.

Fingers crossed for you Debet. I seem to have had a random cold for the past few days (feeling way better than Friday though) but didnt test positive for covid so hope it’s just a cold. And I masked in the house for a day or two and so far none of the others have it so fingers crossed. (I’m in Palm Springs with some friends)

Still waiting on test results, but I'm 90+% sure I didn't/don't have COVID.

DH is fine, but my car, not so much. He was a part of a multi-vehicle smoosh on I-95 this morning. The young driver who rear-ended him didn't have a license, but the trooper said her parents did have very good insurance. My car however is in bad shape. He can drive it home, but the rear driver-side corner is smashed, which is where my charge port is so I won't be able to drive it very far. Not sure if it will be totaled or not. He is so upset about ruining my car, despite the fact that there was nothing he could have done. The biggest inconvenience I can see is that I won't be able to take the dog to the park. I can easily drive his truck, but I can't get the dog into the back seat and he is too stupid to realize he can easily jump up there. DH always gives him a lift assist.

eta: I did remind him that the girl who hit him was going to have a much worse day.
