Thought I’d mention that. After three full years of careful isolation and masking and no COVID in our home, some time with family brought COVID to me.

Mr Jnfr is fortunately still testing negative. We are quite lucky and quite privileged to have a home with plenty of space to divide the house for isolation purposes for a week or so. I also have had all the main vaccines and boosters, including the last variant booster.

Up-to-date on flu shots, shingles, and Pneumovax too.

So far symptoms are fairly mild, like a moderate head cold. I’ve had no fever, my pulse-oxygen is normal and steady, but my head, nose, and throat are itchy, sneezy, and sore.

I’ll update if things turn serious, but for now I’m mostly hanging out blowing my nose and feeling slightly bored.

And on the sixth day: still testing faintly positive. Fortunately Mr. Jnfr remains negative. Will continue my isolation for a while longer. grump grump
