Masks work

We have had a bit of insanity behind the scenes over the weekend.  Dani received a call from work on Saturday informing her that a work colleague had just reported a + COVID test. Further, this was someone with whom she had worked closely with all day Tues & Wed.

Note – this was Saturday. New Year’s Day. She and Alex had been up for dinner on Friday evening (so count that as four additional people at the table). Plus, she had spent Thursday and part of Friday a bit north of here at a dog show.

So there we go – quarantine time. And scramble to find testing. Work told her she is on “Covid Leave” till she has test results (this is good – she gets paid). There is no testing available on Sunday. In fact, hours spent attempting to book a test have the earliest opportunity being Thursday (this is 8 days later… on a variant that is likely 2-5 days incubation. Even if she caught it, testing + 8 days later would be a stretch.). Shana found her a walk-in location for Monday. Hours in line (seriously, more than 3 hours) before it was her turn.

Results today came back negative and she will be back at work tomorrow.

I can only truly believe that careful mask wearing, good hand hygiene and not sharing a lunch table paid off in both her safety. And prevented the risk to the rest of the family.

Otherwise, I did no cleaning or laundry today, but I did finish the last two sections of that Fairy Tale piece + finished up the Frame. Completed the last two houses in the Seasonal Skies Sal, leaving only ~85% of the frame to stitch. Worked a bit on the full coverage piece. And just because that wasn’t enough confusion, I have stitched  a whole lot of black in the frame for this year’s ShipsManor SAL. Total of 1283 stitches for the day.

I think I need to sleep…
