The Week #93

by
  • After Leo got Covid last week, I knew my turn wasn't far behind, sure enough, we all tested positive. While Leo is technically out of quarantine as of Sunday, since he's 4 and can't go anywhere, he's still quarantining until we're finished on Wednesday and Thursday this week.
  • Thankfully, because we were freshly boosted the effects have been minimal. I had a sore throat for a couple of days and a small cough. The day I posted positive, I felt a bit short of breath making my coffee, but by the time it brewed got some coffee in my system, it sorted itself out. And the pulse oximeter that arrived later that day confirmed it.
  • Which is to say we've all been mostly indoors since March 30th and, besides not running / making regular trips to the store, I'm surprised just how little my day-to-day has changed. Perhaps because we were already in a permanent state of social distancing.
  • Catching Covid, as much as it sucks, has also been a relief. The past 2+ years I've been second guessing  myself, worrying "what if" most every time I went out...and now I don't need to do that. I'll still do my part and mask up and so forth, but that background thread is getting bumped down the priority queue quite a bit.
  • My first batch of compost has been finished for a couple of weeks but I'd been delaying using it...and since I'm stuck at home, I decided to finally use it by replanting our rosemary plant. I think batch-1 needed to be mixed a bit better as there were still some onion skins remaining intact..but other than that it was mostly soil. My second batch got a small dose of starter and the next day when I mixed it, it was hot...the team is loving it and really breaking everything down.
  • The Linda Lindas' Growing Up album finally came out and it's great.
