Evie Joy Celebrates Her 80th Birthday With Covid 19 And Our Son Celebrates His 56th

Well, now there are two of us with COVID-19 as Evie's been suffering from aches and pains and a cough since yesterday morning. The irony is not lost on her as today is also her 80th birthday as well as our son Tommy's 56th. What a way to celebrate. It's after 10:00 and I just returned from a forty-minute paddle, talking with a couple neighbors, Roman from Chardon and Jane from Victoria. The weed cutters are out in front of our docks, cutting and clearing the dead weeds.

Yesterday was more of the same, sitting around feeling sorry for myself until I discovered Evie also had Covid so I had someone else to feel sorry for. We debated whether she should get Paxlovid and decided to text her PA Michael to see what he says. He thought it was a good idea and called the drug into Wegmans.

So about 11:00, I drove to Wegman's, put on my mask, and waited in line for the prescription. The gal said this was a very popular drug recently so I assume many others have been suffering. I bought a few things and came straight home. Evie spent much of the morning in bed as her symptoms seemed to get worse during the day, especially an aching body. 

I had meatball sandwiches for lunch, leftover from Tuesday night's dinner, and watched my show but could not wait to nap. The afternoon went slowly because there was not much to do but read, nap, or watch some TV. I also went out for short walks but that was about it. 

By dinner, neither of us was hungry and Evie was so uncomfortable that she went to bed. I had a couple of ears of corn and a meatball and that was it. I watched a new film on Netflix called Rebel Ridge and it was pretty bad but I stuck with it for an hour before going to bed. Not much of a day.
