Well, here I am — in quarantine with COVID. We’re not sure exactly how I got it.
-
- It’s possible that I got it on July 4, when we spent the day in Healdsburg, and on the Russion River — including hanging at the downtown Healdsburg square along with hundreds of other people. But I’m the only one from our group who got it, as far as we know.
- That weekend, we dined in SF with Kathleen and Calvin, who then spent a day at our house. They didn’t get it.
- We also had dinner with Tom and Myrita Henry. Don’t think they have it, yet. (They didn’t get it.)
- I went to a store or two, maskless per current mandates.
- My other outings were our new health club — where I went every day.
Regardless, it’s been 7 days since first symptoms, and I’m supposed to quarantine for 10 days from first symptoms — so 3 more days to go.
How am I doing? I feel like I have a head cold. Bit of a headache, little snotty, tired — but I’m taking over-the-counter medicine to counter those cold-like symptoms. So all that’s left is tired. I’m guessing I got the delta variant. Either way, good thing I’m vaccinated.
I’m still working, but largely lounging about — with frequent pauses. Getting better each day. I’m thinking that, by the end of my quarantine, I’ll be fine.
Biggest pain is keeping away from Ann, who’s tested negative so far. I’m holed up in the master bedroom, and have moved my work desk in here — so I’m great, except for food (which Ann brings me). A bit lonely, and bored…
One interesting side benefit — my knee. I hurt my knee about 1.5 months ago now. It’s been getting better, but slowly. This forced confinement is (I think) giving it time to fully heal. Yay!
Three. More. Days…
