I had a strange dream involving a cousin, a stranger, and my mother and it all occurred in the Hamilton Ohio home of my Aunt Jean. I no longer remember the first part of the dream, but my cousin and I upset this strange man who would not leave the home and he suddenly pulled out a gun and shot my cousin. As he turned to shoot me, I made a run for the kitchen and got shot in the upper leg. I called the police and waited outside for the police to arrive. A car pulled into the driveway, and I ean to it asking, "Are you the police?" The stranger came out of the house and got into the car which drove away. I believe my cousin was dead, but my mother showed up. I cannot remember now if the police ever did.

Thanks to everyone for all the vibes for my SIL.  I have not heard from my brother today - but I think they were going to do hospice.

Someone asked the difference between palliative care and hospice - and I think the woman said Monday that with palliative care, the patient would continue to receive treatments such as radiation/chemo and such.....but with hospice there are just a few instances that would be treated....the patient has waived further treatment.

My appointment was for 9:45, so allowing 80 minutes with complicartions, I scheduled my ride for 8:25. At 8:25 I got a message saying the driver was on his way, so I went downstairs to wait in the lobby. I then got a message saying he would be there in 2 minutes, so I went out to the  street.

I called Access-A-Ride and told them he was not in front of the building. I waited for a godd 3-5 minutes while the operator tracked him down. Then she told Ce he would be there in 15-30 minutes, which would make me late. I told them to cancel the rides, called my HMO and rescheduled, and we'll try again next Wednesday.

Color me really, really, really pissed.;

My pianist called me this morning to tell me she had a temperature last night of 101.....she took Tylenol and it came back...

She took one of those drug store home tests and it came back as Positive For Covid.  Her Boyfriend also took a test and he came back negative.

She has gone for the more substantial test and will get the results in two days or so.
Title: Re: THE NOTHING SPECIAL DAY
Post by: Jrand74 on August 04, 2021, 11:43:28 AM
I immediately notified the cast and sent them the CDC guidelines for vaccinated folks who may have been exposed and told them we would know for sure by the weekend.

I canceled all rehearsals for the rest of the week, including the preview showing we had scheduled for PCCS - the local special needs folks' home.....

I am now in quarantine until I can get a test.....which I am supposed to wait about five days for....   And it is my opinion that we should cancel the show - scheduled to open on August 10.

Because it is my guess that it is indeed Covid.  She was scheduled to get her second shot on Thursday.....so....there you are.

I feel terrible that I have put all of these folks in this position and endangered not only them but their families and colleagues....

No words....I may be scarce for a couple of days while this plays out.....I am sure the local media will cover it....and I am sure that even if the test is negative, I will lose some cast members.

And I don't blame them.

DR Jrand70, I feel so terrible for you and your cast. I don't even know what to say. It's all cold comfort. My only advice is, don't blame yourself. I think the whole country has jumped the gun in assuming that it can open and go back to what we were because attention spans are short these days and everyone's tired of being cooped up.

DR JANE the Indiana recommendation for vaccinated folks if they are exposed to a person with Covid, that the vaccinated one mask up for two weeks.  After five days - get tested.  If the test is negative then the mask should stay on for the rest of the two weeks to in case you are a "carrier."

I would say more like a flu than a cold.  There have been reports of lingering issues, such as fatigue, with vaccinated people. 

Originally I feared a shutdown.  At this point I am thinking your are right that it won't happen.

I was told (on the sly ;) ) that the first interview went really well.

The candidate had some really good experience and seemed like she could learn things quickly.

The second candidate never showed up! :o

And I don't think she ever called to say why or what happened...at least, not before I left work. :-\

But they are going ahead and checking the first (only) candidate's references and if they check out, they'll offer her the job!

She and her husband are moving from the northern part of the state to this area because her husband is starting a new job on September 1st.

So, if she accepts, then more than likely she could also start here on September 1, if not earlier.

I finally got to the three fish tacos. The stench of nasty fish was so bad that I almost vomited on the ground.

Oh, no! :P

Just read the latest from LA County - 97% of the Delta variant cases are unvaccinated people. 98% or something like it of Covid cases ARE the Delta variant. I think this makes it perfectly clear who are putting people at risk.

Darn.

I started reading my book, Project Hail Mary, and since I only had three chapters left, I finished it!

Thanks for all the vibes. Apparently it went well. The DH was offered the job of interim music director/organist for a local church, and he has accepted, to start in September.


Congratulations on hubby getting the job.  The strange thing is he had applied for a job at Amazon.

Is Mercury stuck in Uranus again, or what? It feels like very little is going right for anyone right now.


Think of the size of that Ex-Lax tablet.

I called Access-A-Ride and told them he was not in front of the building. I waited for a godd 3-5 minutes while the operator tracked him down. Then she told Ce he would be there in 15-30 minutes, which would make me late. I told them to cancel the rides, called my HMO and rescheduled, and we'll try again next Wednesday.

Color me really, really, really pissed.;


Have you called management about these screw-ups?

I'd gotten some fish tacos from Taco Del Mar, and they were really good. :)
