Imagine finding out that you were positive for COVID moments before heading out to trick or treat on Halloween. It’d be devastating. Well, that is what happened to Andy today. He’d been coughing for a while now but for some reason, today he was coughing more than normal. So, Allison tested him and found that he was positive for COVID. This was a precaution before heading to a friend’s house to trick or treat and well, it was really rough for Andy. Despite attending two trunk or treats already and having more candy than he’s gonna know what to do with it still stinks that he couldn’t go out on Halloween. So, he’ll be homebound and quarantined for the next week. He’ll also have to miss one of his more favorite things and that is rock climbing on Wednesday, but at least he won’t be sick with COVID for his birthday at the Rock Climbing location.
to help cheer him up we let him trick or treat at our doors in the house.
I’ve been recovering from Covid for the past week now. I’ve been quarantining in my office for most of the time. I wear a mask whenever I leave the office and have rarely gone anywhere. I’m finally going to be finished with Paxlovid tomorrow morning. That stuff is nasty. Wherever I am not eating something my mouth tastes like bile and it is so gross. It has made sleeping hard and it has been hard enough to sleep on the futon in the office. I actually got to sleep in my bed today because of the opposite schedule I have with the family. That was good and I got some decent sleep. In a couple of days I can rejoin the family for meals and such, too.
I’m still having a tough time with the coughing. Whenever I exert myself much I get into a coughing fit. The timing of this could not have been worse as I am preparing for my Black Belt testing evaluation next Friday. We’ll see how things go in classes this coming week as I can finally go back. I’ll probably train while masked for the first couple of classes but we will see if I can even do the classes without having trouble catching my breath. I’m going to do as much as I can do and see what happens from there.
