So I’ve been in quarantine since last Monday, my roomie tested positive for Covid. I’ve felt generally pretty shitty, but I’m pretty sure I didn’t get it after all. I do have yet another ear infection though, and it’s gross as usual. But I can still taste things, I can still breathe, though I am quite tired all the time and taking a lot of naps.
I’ve stayed pretty on top of my school work, slacking a little on the history readings, but staying on top of everything else. I come off quarantine Monday, but that is Yom Kippur, so I’ll be here at home watching services on the zoom. I won’t be fasting though, since I’m sick. To be honest I never fast anymore because I have hypoglycemia and that’s not a good combination. I generally stick to eating as little as possible just to keep with the spirit of things.
The weeks have been pretty dull — lots of tea and bagels, naps and homework at odd hours since my sleep schedule is all fucked up. But I’ve attended all my zoom classes and gotten things done — I do have to make up a history exam at some point, we’ll see what he says on Tuesday after I haul myself up the 5 flights of stairs.
I also got a flat tire somehow over last weekend, I went on Friday to get tested myself, but it was negative. I noticed on Sunday when I took out the recycling that my tire was dead flat. I have a couple of cans of Fix A Flat to put in on Monday, and then I will need to get my tire looked at, since I have to drive to school on Tuesday. So that’s something I hadn’t budgeted for — I suppose I will go to Walmart and see if they can replace it fairly cheap. I can’t really afford to replace both front tires, one will have to do.
Mum’s been freaking out, but bringing me food and Pepsi as needed, so that’s good. We’ve been doing the masks and she drops things off on the ramp. Nigel has been extra cuddly with both Roomie and I, going back and forth periodically to check on us.
It’s time for a nap again, I didn’t sleep well last night, and I will be back after Havdalah once this posts to chat.
