So, in happier news, today is my 65th birthday (I am now in the group that doesn't have to go back to work until this is over, basically - I get to teach online forever? Can't afford to quit cuz no health insurance due to stupid decisions made within our public ed system but hey, no complaints as I love teaching and will adapt - have been teaching online for 25 years).
We went with our 5 year old granddaughter to the rural area where I was raised and looked at cows, horses, ponies and walked through a deserted aviary and talked to a Cockatiel who was so lonely. The parrots were trying to learn to say "Hello" or "hi." She was so jazzed about it. Everything is brilliant green and there is rushing water in the creeks. Only about 5 cars at the trail head, we saw no one.
Then we started up our living room band again. Granddaughter sang at the microphone, I played bass and DH played guitar and drum machine. We were very loud and it was so much fun. Found one food delivery place as a treat, following on the heels of new data that tell me it's really unlikely to get CV19 from food delivery or from food in general. We did Credence and some blues.
Granddaughter had rainbow sherbet and, well, maybe I had a little too.
I realize I have to get this virus eventually but really would like to wait a while, till resources aren't so tight. Maybe they'll restock the meds before I get it? I've had lung issues all my life, so there's that. Feeling great after two weeks of scratchy throat and cough.
All I want for my birthday is millions of fast track testing kits, including ones for the antibodies, especially ones that allow us to take the sample at home with a finger prick and send it in. I keep reading we have to use blood for antibody testing (as opposed to the PCR tests for the virus itself).
Happy birthday to you! I'm glad you're healthy. I so appreciate your posts.
