Hiya BetterMost friends!!!!
I hope everyone is having a good holiday weekend!
This weekend has been an isolated one, by choice. LOL
I went to mom and dad's place on Monday, and at 11:00 mom left to go to school, and help the teachers set up for the new school year. I left for the apartment before she got back home. Then, on Tuesday, mom said she felt 'off'. Wednesday she started to feel a little worse, and then she got a call from one of the teachers that was there on Monday, she had just tested positive for Covid.
Mom did a home test that came back negative, and she called me to tell me not to come over for the rest of the week, just to be safe.
She went to an Urgent Care center on Thursday to have a test there as well, and they told her the results would be given to her the next day (Friday). Mom ended up going to a second Urgent Care for a rapid test, because she wasn't sure what time of day the results from the first Urgent Care would be given to her. If she was positive, she wanted to get a prescription for Paxlovid, but you need to get the prescription within 5 days of showing symptoms. Her rapid test at the second Urgent Care turned out negative, and then she got the results from the first Urgent Care, and that was negative as well.
So just by coincidence she managed to catch some sort of bug, and not Covid. However, I didn't want to catch her bug, so I worked from the apartment Thursday and Friday, and I didn't go to visit on Saturday or Sunday. However, she called me on Sunday evening and she sounded much better, and invited me to go out to lunch with them on Monday to a BBQ joint.
My brother got a rack of ribs, but gave mom, dad and I some of the ribs. I got a hot dog and sweet potato fries. Mom got a Italian chicken panino, and Dad got a hot roast beef and cheese sandwich.
So today was the "unofficial" end of summer, but from the temps you would never know. It's supposed to be in the 90s all week, breaking on Friday with some thunderstorms. At least it will be a short work week.
Next day off from work is Columbus Day, and I took that week off of work for another staycation. After that, I have one last week to take, and I am taking the week before Christmas.
Hope everyone is ready for the coming autumn!
