we got back from ellicottville, where we were attending a ski weekend of DF and MM’s family just for hanging out purposes, and I went to work yesterday to try and catch up on things and it wasn’t bad so i was like ok fine whatever, and this morning i had a sore throat so i was like you know, that was a lot of traveling, and on saturday night we had to stand in a jam-packed bar for two hours just to get the only sandwiches available in town (Ellicottville NY is a very small ski town and the week kids have off from school in February is The Busiest Week Of The Year there, and the three whole restaurants they have can only put on so much staff, you’re going to have to wait for a sandwich and if you don’t have a kitchen in your B&B it’s not like you have a choice about it), and you know viruses still exist, so i took a covid test while i was getting ready this morning just as a precaution and–
oh. streak broken! i’d never had it, but i do now. cool cool cool cool.
did i think standing in a bar for two hours literally crammed up against other people was a good idea? no. but when you’re just kind of along for the ride on other people’s vacations and making your own last-minute plans just to get things done, you don’t get to really choose a lot, and since the world has collectively decided viruses aren’t a thing anymore, then I guess this is the consequence.
So, cool. I still have to do two vacations’ worth of laundry and try to piece my life back together, but now I get to do it while trying to isolate from Dude, who still tests negative, in this shoebox of a house in winter.
Anyway I’m asymptomatic except for the sore throat, and I mask constantly at work anyway (yes! still! i am the only human in the world who still does this apparently?) so I certainly didn’t expose anyone yesterday.
Sigh. (Your picture was not posted)
