Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 23, 2022, 02:24:09 AM: I have not been able to sleep all night. This has never happened before, and I must say I am perplexed, bemused and mystified as to the why of this dilemma.
Title: Re: STUMBLE-THROUGH FANTASTIQUE
Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 23, 2022, 02:25:42 AM: Today is brunch day at Christine's Farm to Fork restaurant.

I have been looking forward to this for two weeks. However, a lot depends on my ability to stay awake for it all.

Not that I am in any danger of falling asleep right now. But, still....needs must at some point.

Title: Re: STUMBLE-THROUGH FANTASTIQUE
Post by: elmore3003 on January 23, 2022, 08:00:04 AM: I went back to bed around 7:45, and nodded until almost 10:00. I've been feeling down, unmotivated, untalented, and afraid of the future, so I'd rather stay in bed and hide.
Title: Re: STUMBLE-THROUGH FANTASTIQUE
Post by: elmore3003 on January 23, 2022, 08:02:50 AM: Just before 10, my neighbor Ann showed up. Last night I had asked her, if she went out today, to get me a half gallon of Lactaid, and she did, along with (I don't know if you need this) a bunch of bananas, a blueberry muffin, matzoh balls and chicken soup from Zabar's.

Title: Re: STUMBLE-THROUGH FANTASTIQUE
Post by: John G. on January 23, 2022, 08:10:35 AM: Watching Deborah Kerr and David Niven in Eye of the Devil. Sharon Tate, David Hemings, Flora Robson and more round out the cast. It’s all rather silly. And somewhat effective.
Title: Re: STUMBLE-THROUGH FANTASTIQUE
Post by: John G. on January 23, 2022, 08:13:04 AM: According to imdb, Kim Novak had filmed most of the movie but injured herself before completion. All of her scenes were reshot with Kerr.

Post by: ChasSmith on January 23, 2022, 08:20:53 AM: One of my big projects was going to be laundering and changing my bed, but the housemates are more in need of the washer and dryer today so I'll wait and do all of that tomorrow. Which makes total sense, anyway, and how I should always plan it. I will spend time on other things that need doing around the house and, later, doing a quick shopping trip for a few groceries.

I went back to bed around 7:45, and nodded until almost 10:00. I've been feeling down, unmotivated, untalented, and afraid of the future, so I'd rather stay in bed and hide.

Just before 10, my neighbor Ann showed up. Last night I had asked her, if she went out today, to get me a half gallon of Lactaid, and she did, along with (I don't know if you need this) a bunch of bananas, a blueberry muffin, matzoh balls and chicken soup from Zabar's.

I hope that Ann's kindness and the goodies picked up your spirits.

It is very rare to have a false positive test. Which test did you use?

My sister got it for me...the CareStart COVID-19 Antigen Home Test (https://accessbio.net/products/covid-19-detection-kits/carestart-covid-19-antigen-home-test).

While it doesn't have a top rating it should still be pretty good. If you test positive again I think you can pass on going to an official testing site.

I tested again today and it still says I'm positive. :P

DR George, how do you feel today?

Not so bad. My voice is still an octave lower, and still have a sore throat, but that's still only as bad as it was yesterday...not any worse than it was.

This is great. What about your temperature?

My temperature is now back down to a more normal (for me) level. The highest was 99.3 and the latest was 97.4.

Thank you for asking, DR Jeanne. From Thanksgiving to Christmas we made weekly visits to the burn clinic in Dayton and each week I learned a new procedure for treating and dressing the wound. At first that had to be done twice a day, but by Christmas we were down to once a day. We’re still there but the trips to Dayton are not as frequent. It’s healing nicely and I suspect the appointment this coming Wednesday may be almost the last.

Post by: Ron Pulliam on January 23, 2022, 07:33:46 PM: Brunch at Christine's Farm to Fork restaurant was delightful. We all three had the Big Jake Platter, which consisted of three eggs, bacon, andouille sausage and grits. The service included biscuits and apple butter.
Coffee was particularly good to me, but my cousin prefers a much lighter roast and wasn't all too pleased.

All of us absolutely despised the andouille sausage because it was uber-spicy and burned our mouths. The rest of the meal was delicious. The bacon was crisp, the eggs fresh and the grits were both generous and scrumptious.

Sigh.

So, television was the ticket. I watched "The High and the Mighty" (Warner Brothers, 1954). Somewhat silly nowadays, especially given that John Wayne's character opens a door in the main compartment of the plane and starts throwing out masses of luggage that mysteriously fit in the front of the plane. No air compression of any kind resulted in that door opening. And he just stood there throwing out piece after piece. They made a good show of opening and closing the door, however.

DR George the information on when you can return to work is a bit confusing. You might check if work has a current policy. If you need to retest before returning maybe you can guess which day and make an appointment ahead of time.

I read the e-mail that went out and it kind of looks like if I've been vaccinated and boosted within a certain period of time (and I am), then I can actually go to work with a very well fitting mask, but it's not absolutely clear, so I'll call in the morning when I get up.
