birthday

The wife of the friend who tested positive on Saturday night (she's also a friend) tested positive on Wednesday, but only messaged me about it on Thursday. I RAT tested negative yesterday morning.

Going for a PCR this morning (Friday) and crossing my fingers (Jonas-Quinn-style).

I have been feeling exhausted and a bit under the weather; it might be COVID-lite, but it might be a slew of other things, too.

Anyway, considering my birthday:

Now I just have to get hold of double cream...

In COVID news, I have somehow managed to avoid COVID for the third time.

1. My sister, living in the same house.
2. A friend, sitting across from her at a cafe for two hours.
3. A friend, working in the same space (large and reasonably ventilated, true) for six hours.

Five days after #3 I'm still somehow testing PCR negative.

Although my throat feels distinctly meh.

*breathes* Okay, time to go for a brief grumpy!run. I'll be playing one game of hockey on the field, and one in goals on Sunday, so less running for me. However, we'll have several players playing two games on the day - with the A-grade game up first. So a brief run this afternoon is necessary for better conditioning.
