The DH is going on a job interview this afternoon.  Thinking of DR vixmom!

He is semi-retired, but the extra income sure would be a Godsend.

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.

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....

Now they have to mask up and get tested, etc.  I also found out that at least ONE of my cast members is NOT vaccinated.....

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.

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.;

Oh, my goodness! :o What is wrong with these ride services??

My office is down one person (and lost another position), but they're interviewing two people today for the one position.  Hopefully, one of them will be good!

Having been vaccinated do you have to quarantine if you are asymptomatic or is it just recommended?

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.

Thanks, everyone.  I appreciate the comments.

Lots of cast support on the private Facebook group with many folks saying that if the test is negative, they are ready to come in for rehearsals this weekend.

So now we wait for the results......
