Well, I have been sick but not for the past couple of weeks.  I was just sick of getting on here and typing.  But, I’m back.

      Sunday evening found me feeling a bit achy.  I wasn’t feeling 100%.  I didn’t have a temp and I didn’t have any gut problems.  Just achy and lethargic.  Tammy had cooked fajitas and I didn’t eat.  My appetite was gone for over 24 hours. 

      Monday morning found me in the same shape.  Achy, tired and otherwise fine.  I had my smell and taste.  Once again, no temp and no respiratory problems.  Pre-pandemic me would not have thought of missing work.  I was good enough to go.  But due to the current social climate, I did not go to school.  I was kind of proud that I wasn’t sure of the protocol for “calling in sick”.  However, I did go into school from 6 am to 7:30 before anybody else was there.  I left instructions for the kids.  

      The Dragon Lady was convinced that I had covid.  I assured her that I did not.  Just to be sure, she brought home a covid test.  I told her that I wasn’t going to take it.  But then, I thought about the fact that if I didn’t have a negative test that I had to lay out for 10 days.  So, I jammed that long damn q-tip into the upper reaches of my nostril.  Sack of monkey crap!!!  Yes, I brought tears to my own eyes.  I wanted to make dang sure that there was a good sample.  And then we waited.  Guess who was right?  

This guy!   Negative covid test.  

But just to be safe and because I guess it is the appropriate thing to do in these times, I stayed home from work on Tuesday as well.  I did get a bunch of computer related stuff done.  The weather was cold and misty so I didn’t get much done outside.  The crappy weather made me glad that I don’t have many goats.  

Here’s to hoping that all of you are positive in life yet negative with the covid tests.  Have a good day and a better tomorrow.
