The Good News and the Bad News

 The good news: We left the house today.

The bad news, we left to go to MD Now (Urgent Care) to see if we still are contagious.  Not only are we contagious - we both have COVID-19.  WE ARE SHOCKED!

We are too far along for the traditional medications.  We only went because we had plans this week to be with people and wanted to be sure we could do that safely.  GUESS NOT!!!!!

Terry thought we only needed retail therapy!!!  GUESS NOT!!!!!

We stopped at CVS to get more cough meds.

We also ordered for pickup from Cheng's our favorite Chinese restaurant - yummy!

Tonight, Barry Bradford is doing a program about Neil Diamond.  We will get our Neil Diamond fix because we are missing that on Friday night with a group of friends.

Home Again

 We both are still coughing periodically.  We no longer are wearing masks at home, because what's the point, we already are both recovering.

It was a warm, but windy day, and Terry opened the porch windows to get fresh air into the house.  She also went to sit in one of the chairs on the porch.  Not realizing that it was a recliner until Marilyn showed her how to get it reclined.

I took the photo of Terry without showing her, because we both look like shit - no makeup.  You get the picture.

You only see Marilyn's legs here as I too have no make up on.  

We moved from the recliners in the living room to the recliners on the porch, to the table to eat, etc.

Marilyn did some laundry, so it wasn't a completely lost day.

Ashley sent us her birthday wish list and we are having some things sent to her in time for her birthday.

We watched Jeopardy and got a few answers correct.  Some we did not even understand the question much less get the answer correct.

WE LEFT THE HOUSE

 Before you get too excited, we went to Walmart to pick up our groceries.  Nice young woman put the groceries into the trunk.  Each item was carefully encased in it's own bag.

Our neighbors had some guests visiting.

We both listened to Irvin Keller's Ted Talk.  Irwin just wrote a new book, which Marilyn is reading currently.  Irvin's talk was about his marriage, in the early days of approval of same-sex marriage.  Very funny!

Another boring day - Saturday January 4

 On Saturday, Terry decided that we would order groceries from Walmart for pick up.  However, they kept cancelling her order.  We finally tried it on my Walmart Account and it went through.

So on Sunday, January 5th we will pick up our order.

We are supposed to go to Vanessa for haircuts Monday, we will see how we feel.  We gave her a heads up.

Another boring day - coughing

 Nothing too exciting - we are both still coughing.

Lots of napping, laundry, etc.

Amazon delivered our order of new masks and some vitamins for Marilyn.

All was calm. until Terry went to put dinner in the oven and dropped it on the oven door and the floor got the worst of it very noisy! What a mess  

We then listened to Temple Services - Rabbi Goldstein and Cantor McKenzie did the service.

Nothing too Exciting

 Sometime after lunch, Marilyn headed to the Dollar Tree and then Publix.

Part of what she bought was honey (for tea) and cough medicine for Terry.  Without knowing it, she bought a child's cough medicine. (only one that said cold/cough).

While Marilyn was at the stores, the Carbon Monoxide detector went off in the garage and Terry had to deal with that.  

After dinner we watched Jeopardy and Terry got three questions correct!

Can you stand the excitement????

Happy New Year - 2025

 Generally, we would be at Diane and Tom's for their annual New Year Day Party, but Terry is coughing and we did not go.

This morning, I realized that I had some masks in my car and wore one all day, as did Terry, except to eat.  However, it may be a day late to wear it.  Ordered more masks from Amazon-should be here on Friday.

We both spent the day napping and reading.

That's all of our exciting news!

Hope everyone is well.
