We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Fuck. Tim and his brothers got a message from their dad's assisted living community that their dad was exposed to someone with Covid. They didn't say who, so it could have been one of the people who drops off the meals (which is a very short amount of interaction time), but it could have been one of the staff that has longer visits (health checks and whatnot). And their dad is very resistant to wearing a mask (when he does wear one, he keeps pulling it under his nose), and I don't know much it's enforced at his facility. (I assume the rules are to strictly enforce mask wearing, but rules tend to fall apart in practice.)

He got a Covid test right away, so now we just have to wait for the results. Although depending on when he was exposed, he'll probably need to get another test in a week or two as well.

Fingers are crossed. He's physically pretty healthy for a man his age (no heart disease, no high blood pressure, no cancer, no lung disease, etc.), but he is 82, which is automatically high risk.

Oh no Steph. It is a pain waiting. We get alerts from my parents’ retirement community every time they have a case or results from their standard testing.

Our wings are not tired.

Nice refund!

Test~ma for Tim's dad.

Yeah, Tim's dad's facility does send emails whenever there are any positive cases, even if it's not a resident, which I appreciate.

We missed canceling our flood insurance on the previous house, but thankfully also got a refund.

Fingers crossed for your FIL, Steph.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I need to make sure I’m not paying insurance on a car I sold.

Our clients are infuriating me. We called our 9 am appt at 9:10 and she said she meant to call us. For a health certificate that a software update that is kicking us off before we can do anything useful. Our 10 am let us know when we called to get records before the appointment that she no longer needed the appt. and the 11 needs to call me with an address but probably will wait until she gets here.

We are closing at noon and I planned to work until 2 but eff that, I’m done for the week.

Negative test ~ma to Tim's dad.

I’m not really fond of international health certificates that took me many hours (with good records, I can have one ready in 90 minutes.) to prepare just don’t show up.
