Dear God, I've caught a cold

Us too. Since my fiance works in a hospital as an RN, they made her get tested. Covid positive, so now we're in quarantine for 10 days.

Pray for me. I don't know if I'll live through this. 10 days stuck together and you may have to go look in the backyard for my body parts.

or the trunk of her car.

Aside from my wife working her school job a couple of days a week now we've been together almost 24/7 since mid-March. She asked the other day if I had ever thought about how we might get along, or how our attitudes might change, being together so much. This was before Thanksgiving and there has been a lot of tension all around due to the virus and the election crap. It all pretty much blew up Monday night, something we never do, and it was a very quiet Tuesday & Wednesday. Our daughter who is expecting next March stopped by Wed. and we all talked about the cancelled get-together that was planned on Thursday at their house. The attendees all gathered anyway, via Zoom, did our thing and things have been 180 degrees different since. I'm not sure what switch got flipped but things are good again.

I didn't want to admit to anyone including myself how much this confinement has affected me but I had to face it - it really has, a lot more than I thought. So now we wait. We wait for the election results, not expecting it to be good in any way. We wait for the virus to settle down, whether that means everyone on the planet gets infected or it dwindles like the Spanish Flu did eventually. We wait but we keep on living.

How did a man of your girth manage to catch anything?

I think Gunther gave it to me when I received my weekly sponge bath.

One would think that Gunther's permanent ball-gag should've effectively prevented any spread.

Well, it was either Gunther or that time I licked all the toilet paper packages at Kroger.

Makes sense, I pictured you trying to catch that cold like Rocky was trying to catch the chicken and it wasn't working.

Sick how?
You ok?

I was just kidding about that 😉

I don't have my ps4 up and running at the moment. but way back when i first joined, I had ATS running on a tablet of sort and playing games until the sun came up.
DestinyOne was still here🤗

That sounds like the setup of champions. I just shook mine up with a little bit of black Friday shopping.

Cops keep trying to arrest me because from a distance I look like a crowd of more than 6 people.

That and they're probably confusing your name with DB Cooper.

Never heard of him. I've never been to Vegas.

Sadly, I get it.

I came down with a mild cold a month or more ago, and ran a mild fever -- barely over 99 degrees and broke over night. But we stayed home that day and for the next three while I had mild symptoms (mild head cold stuff, some congestion with a scratchy throat). No one else in the house caught it, but I still felt like a big bad leper all the same.

Did I have COVID? Who knows ... I didn't get tested for it.

All this working from home really puts the rain on your parade when you want to call in sick for the day.... Haha.

This is funny. I don't care who you are. I'd give you 50 stars if I could.

Awww, thank you
Not my work though unfortunately
Glad it gave you a laugh.

I am anxiously awaiting the first inclement weather day for the school kids. District has announced the first five will be virtual learning days.

HAHAHAHAHAHA. It looks like one thing COVID may have done is bury the hatchet on snow days for kids.

be about 12 packages tops!

Yes, I love the restaurant one particularly.

When we go out and all sit down, my husband makes this big box gesture with his hands and makes a low humming noise while he does it and says, "Anti-COVID shield coming online now!" We all laugh.

Eating INSIDE restaurants?

I seem to remember a time when we used to do that as well.

True story.

I once actually ate INSIDE a restaurant in Portland, Oregon.

I wish I had taken photo's. We had camera's back then.

It would have been proof.

Reminds me of a little Italian joint called 'Al Fresco's' where they throw your food against the wall mural outside...and make you lick it off.

FYI

Never eat at Al Qaeda.

Yelp reviews say it bombs.
