Barking mad
··Prolific Speedmaster HoarderSix weeks and six days ago was the last time that I wore a watch, six weeks and six days ago was the last time that I partook in an alcoholic beverage and six weeks and six days ago our life was thrown into another dimension.
Almost seven and a half weeks ago the city went into lockdown due to Covid, six weeks and six days ago on a Monday night and totally unannounced ( I was probably half way through my third bourbon😀) they carried out Covid testing for the residents of the houses in our street. My wife had had a cough for a few days and didn't feel great but the thought of Covid never crossed our minds as I had developed the cough but was otherwise fine. Well my wife and son tested positive which meant immediate quarantining of our house entailing red and white tape securing the front and a number of signs on the fence and gates as well as a guard placed across the road to ensure nobody came or went.
The following afternoon they returned, threw a couple of hazmat suits through the gate which my wife and son had to don before they were taken away in an ambulance to a Covid facility.
The house was quarantined for three weeks with the aforementioned guards ensuring the rules were obeyed. The day after my wife and son went my symptoms ramped up as I launched into a healthy bout of Covid and home alone. I must admit I have been very lucky, the worst of it only lasted for about two weeks one which I really can't remember, I have never been so drained of energy in my 61 years on the planet and if you want to lose weight rapidly Covid is the ticket.
My wife got quite a bit sicker than me and at one point was actually concerned about her life, fortunately our son was totally asymptomatic throughout so he could look after her.
Eighteen days after leaving they returned home and we had to endure another week of full isolation. We are both recovering well, consider ourselves extremely fortunate and had our first vaccination a week and a half ago.
Today I am finally wearing a watch and it is the Speedy that I have owned the longest.
Haven't had a drink yet, I have thought about it a couple of times but each time for reasons I can't explain I tell myself I am not ready. Maybe soon.😉
Tomorrow we go into a ramped up lockdown where we are not allowed to leave our houses and a designated person can go out on a designated day and time to a designated supermarket to buy supplies.
They are not stuffing around this time:
I am back and very grateful and happy to be so.
