January 2022 COVID!

January began with the usual New Years festivities, the Greek Dinner, and in addition, exposure to the Omicron strain of COVID. Initial PCR tests showed a negative result for Dickie and a positive result for Krisy. The results took several days, and by the time Kris's arrived, I was feeling poorly. So we did antigen tests and we were both positive. The symptoms were not bad, but the protocols are so unclear that we were unsure what to do. So we isolated for a couple of weeks until the symptoms were gone. We performed another round of antigen tests and Kris was negative, but I was still positive. A few days later I finally tested negative and we were back in the game. Isolating was fine: Annie brought us our online order of groceries from Harmons and some odds and ends from Costco. We also cleaned out several items from the freezer. Life is back to normal and February (next post) is underway.

That's my negative PCR result when I was already feeling poorly

There's my positive result on the antigen test

Woohoo! Finally a negative result after several weeks of isolation

The front bathroom remodel gets underway in February, so there will be more. But this is all for now.
