COVID SCHMOVID

 Yesterday was an errand day.  I hate them.  I will make a list as long as my arm and head out the door to accomplish.  And at least half of the list will not get done due to things missing, people not there when they are supposed to be etc...and I end up at home with still a list of errands needing doing.  Post office, notary, bank, dollar store, Walmart for jeans, drug store etc.....I hate it.

I think in a recent post I was kind of bragging about our house having worked hard to avoid the covid bug...and winning.  I don't know many people who haven't had it, except us.  We wear N95 respirators every time we step out the door.  Monte can't though.   His head is just too big and no mask fits.  But I figure he is so tall he is way above the virus floating around below.

Until now.  He started feeling punky on the drive home from Victoria and by the next day he was really sick.  He was that sick that I had him do a covid test.  It was negative.  Good!  But he was still not good yesterday so I had him do another one and it came back definitely positive.  So he is banished to his bedroom.  I went back to Shoppers with a Monte list and loaded up.  I leave his food and stuff on the stairs outside his bedroom.  And if I have to open his door I wear a mask.

But for the two concert days I shared a hotel room with him, shared drinks, shared bites of dim sum off his and my chopsticks and then spent all day in the truck with him on the way home.  And now today my throat is sore as hell, I have a headache and I am dizzy.  But I choose to believe its the power of suggestion and NOT covid.  Ange and I refuse to get the damned thing.  We have worked so hard to avoid it and we both had our last booster within the last two weeks.  And poor Monte is locked in his room feeling like a pariah. 

Of course now we can't go to Victoria tomorrow.  I was really looking forward to seeing April and helping to plan, or at least talk about the baby shower she is helping to host.  It seems baby showers have become a really big thing, bigger than any of their apartments can handle.  They have had to rent a room at the local rec centre.  At least it isn't a 'reveal' party, those are so stupid. (to me). Hopefully no offence to anyone reading this who loves them.  I'd take that statement back but it wouldn't be honest.  I think they really are attention getting, expensive stupidity.  Anywhooo I don't get to spend any time with my kid and I was super looking forward to that.

Well my head is spinning and I can't quit coughing so I shall sign off.  Stay healthy people!!  TTYL
