12/3/21 Thoughts

Today we got an e-mail to inform us that someone on Livia’s bus tested positive for Covid. She doesn’t have to quarantine, but we’re supposed to monitor her for symptoms. It was only a matter of time before this happened, which is why we got her vaccinated. I’d be happier if she were at least two weeks out from her second shot, but I figure she must have built up at least some immunity by now. Meanwhile, I have a sore throat and gummy eyes, and I wonder if I picked up something while I was out and about without a mask last week and weekend. That would be just my luck. I’m scheduled to get my Covid booster and flu shot next week, and wouldn’t it be terrible if I had to miss my appointment because I had Covid or the flu?
I bought way too many books for Christmas. Livia said she wanted a ton of books, and I guess I took her literally. Then, to keep things fair, I had to buy a lot of books for Marshall, too. Three more books arrived today. I also got an e-mail from the local bookstore to tell me that my order is in and needs to be picked up. How much do you want to bet that I’ll buy more books while I’m there? It seems likely, because book shopping is so much fun. Too much fun, maybe.
J.C. Penney canceled two items that I ordered online. I wasn’t surprised or upset about it, given the Pandemic and all. However, I was surprised and pleased when they sent me a $10 reward to make up for the inconvenience.
