I am not dying. Not even a little bit. But just miserable. My fever has broken, Now I would just like to be able to get some uninterrupted sleep. (queue more whining…)
About Holly
fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash.
After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either.
I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying.
Life is good!
Has anyone been tested for Corona? I assume this will no longer result in anyone being quarantined.
Germany is in the middle of a large Corona wave that made two friends of ours very sick despite having been vaccinated five times.
If you haven’t had Corona or a booster in the last year, your antibody protection is probably no longer strong enough to avoid an infection, but your T-cells should still keep you out of hospital.
testing is still pretty routine on ship. Everyone tested thus far has been negative- so this is various flus, colds, and perhaps RSV
