After three years of dodging the Coronavirus bullet, it finally got me last Sunday!
I woke up with what I thought was a bad cold. My head was all stuffed up and my throat was scratchy and sore. I stumbled into a hot shower and I felt better after the hot water had a little bit of a healing effect on me.
MBIP Pal and Wheelman, Scott Turley was coming over and we were going to go out for the first Scott Turley Road Trip of 2024. However as the day wore on, the cold kept getting worse. It wasn’t so bad I was going to cancel our road trip, but I thought that I’d test for Covid, just to be safe.
I got a test all set up, swabbed the nostrils and then waited the allotted time and went and looked and my stomach sunk as it read positive! Fuck!
I was hoping maybe this was a bad reading, so I did another test.
Both of them were positive! Motherfucker!
Scott came over and I told him as he was climbing my stairs to turn around, because I was the latest victim of the latest Covid 19 wave. Scott said, “Oh shit!” He wished me well and then was on his way back home.
I do this blog about a week ahead of myself and that’s why I had material for the beginning of the week. I have nothing for today except for this PSA: Always have a couple of Covid tests on hand for a situation like this. I really didn’t think I had it and I’m glad I tested. I could’ve infected Scott and a lot of people on Sunday.
Luckily, I have a mild case and it’s been pretty much the same as a bad cold: Stuffed up head, sneezing, scratchy throat and a cough. I had to quarantine in my apartment and now I can go to the store but my doctor told me to wear a mask and try and stay away from people for the next five days. So the blog will be a little patchy next week, because I really can’t go and do anything until next Tuesday.
I have something for tomorrow that I can do from MBIP World Headquarters and I’ll get takeout for my Saturday night dinner. I’ll get a corn dog to go for Tuesday and then I’ll probably take next Wednesday and Thursday off for Covid Catch Up Days!
This now concludes my Covid 19 update! Be well and I’ll see you all tomorrow!
