A cold morning. We received about one inch of snow from this storm. This was outside my condo this morning. They say it is to be mostly sunny today. Patches of blue sky and sunshine are now appearing.
My daughter woke last Monday morning not feeling well. Her employer told her to make an appointment for a COVID-19 test and stay home and not to return until she had test results. She works for Home Depot and is face-to-face with the public since this whole thing began. She was not able to get an appointment until Friday afternoon then had to wait in line for two hours. She received test results yesterday and tested positive. She is now in quarantine for two more weeks and gratefully will be paid for a full three weeks. She did not feel good for the first three days but felt much better last night. She has slept a lot and any sort of exertion causes her to be winded (stairs). She made me smile last night when talking to her on the phone because she is planning to make Christmas cards this year with all the free time. 😍 Good spirits!

Sounds like she’s pulling thru Monte. Good for her and best wishes to all of you.

Yes, I think she struggled as much with the waiting for results as she did the first three days of not feeling well.

It’s bad news about your daughter getting COVID-19, Monte, but good news that so far she’s having mild symptoms. Best wishes for her speedy recovery. Stay away from her for a while! 🙂

Thanks, Earl. She let me know today that she was able to taste and smell for the first time in 9 days.

Thankfully it sounds like your daughter had a somewhat typical Covid experience rather than anything more serious. Good news! A good attitude goes a long way toward getting through any illness. And yes, it is time to start thinking about Christmas, isn’t it? 🙂

Thanks, Tom. Yes, she has not had severe effects but we still do not know the long term effects of this stuff. Just glad she is not suffering.
