{{Gud}} One of the things I have liked about Noom, and many people don't like, is they are very big on DBT mindfulness stuff. I hadn't really looked at it much before the dieting, but know many who have benefited from the practices. [link]

Yikes Dana! Hope your dad's case is a mild one.

Mild symptoms~ma, Dana.

My COVID-19 PCR test came back negative this morning, which is nice. I'd very much like these lingering cold symptoms to GTFO of my head, though. I'll continue to quarantine and test again in a couple of days to be on the safe side.

I also got confirmation that my location transfer has been approved. I don't have details yet, but this means I'll have a normal city commute when we go back to the office!

My mom texted me this morning to tell me she has strep throat (also got a Covid test, but it was negative), and she said "I kind of forgot there are other illnesses out there!" At least with strep throat, you can throw antibiotics at it.

Woot! Though...is that still long, just not nearly as long as before?

"I kind of forgot there are other illnesses out there!"

Several family members have told me this is the first year they didn't get strep or flu or other respiratory stuff in forever. Hence their desire to never give up their masks.

Though...is that still long, just not nearly as long as before?

It takes me 30-40 minutes to get to our downtown office by public transit or car, so it's a lot shorter with way more flexibility.

Work has reinstated the mask mandate mandates employees. We never actually enforced it for customers. Some of the make up counters had gone back to doing some of the usual stuff but they are back to touch free. And they are going to limit fitting rooms in some way ...maybe.

They are going to consolidate registers since we don't have as many people and probably won't have the level of staff we did pre covid again. At least not in the foreseeable future. And most of the fitting rooms will be turned into stock rooms.

And company travel is stopped. Out store manager made it clear the changes are there to make sure we can stay safe and stay open and that no one wants anyone to be furloughed again. Which would only happen if there was another shutdown.

In my dream this morning, I was new in a job and screwed up payroll. jesseh worked there, too, and stayed late to help me fix it. Thanks, man! You're a mensch.

I am always happy to help!!

Good luck to your dad, Dana.

Good news, shrift!

"I kind of forgot there are other illnesses out there!"

I'm still furious (on his behalf) about my uncle ending up in the hospital with Influenza B last year.

I am always happy to help!!

I need dream Jesse to remind me about all those college classes that I somehow forgot to go to all semester only to realize it right before the final.
