no symptoms

I tested positive for Covid-19 three days ago, but to this point I have no symptoms.

Bern had head-aches, loss of apatite, body pain.

But nothing for me yet.

Mimi said there was an asymptomatic form of the disease.

I hope that's true for me.

Bern should test negative tomorrow.

Just in time.

One of us goes to the supermarket every day so we're running out of food!

That would not be good!

I've got my fingers crossed that the symptoms stay away....

Jail Him Up! Jail Him Up!

To use a variation of the former President's call about Hillary, things are looking bad for him right now.

In New York, Washington and Georgia, he could be facing trials that would lead to--yes, Jail.

And it's time.

He has created tax fraud, stolen classified documents and tried to interfere with an election.

And in the last day he has suggested over-ruling the Constitution to reinstate him as President.

It's time, my friends, to Jail Him Up!

Let me know if you disagree.

I join Bern

I tested 'positive' for Covid today. Joining Bern.

I feel ok, just too chilly and tired and without much appetite.

Bern's several days ahead of me.

Luckily I won't be going to church again until Dec. 18. That should be enough time to recover and not be a spreader.

Keep us both and Eleanor in your thoughts and prayers.

Thank you.

Be safe, my friends.

Time moves on

 As of today, I am still negative for Covid.

Bern coughs a lot but feels better than yesterday.

And time moves on.

Hershel Walker, just like Dr. Oz, was criticized for not really living in the state where he is running for Senate.

When will Republicans regain their sanity?

And time moves on.

It rained hard and long today in CT.

We are saturated to the bone.

And time moves on.

Hopefully the rail strike can be avoided by acts on Congress.

Though I am a big supporter of unions.

And time moves on.

I will miss church this Sunday and next because of precautions about the virus.

And I will miss being there and the folks there and the music there.

But time moves on....

Bad news today

 Bern tested positive today for the virus.

I'll get tested tomorrow though I feel fine.

I canceled my celebration on Sunday and I believe my friend, Michael, who used to work with me at St. John's, will do the service.

I'll cancel next week's Wed. and Steve is scheduled to lead morning prayer the next Sunday, so by then I'll be fine to return to church.

Bad times.

Keep Bern and I and Eleanor and Tim and Mimi in your prayers.

Prayers may not stop Covid, but they can lessen it's effects.

Be well and stay well, my friends.

And stay away from me for a while.

NEGATIVE!!!!

 My COVID test came back negative!

I still canceled my Wednesday class since the room we hold it in makes social distancing impossible.

And I will get tested again before Sunday.

But I am relieved....

Waiting to know

 Though Advent is all about "waiting"--waiting is a pain in the ass.

We learned Saturday afternoon, when Mimi called, that Eleanor tested positive for Covid when they got home from their visit here.

Since they came on Wednesday afternoon it's tomorrow afternoon that I can test. (You wait 5 days after exposure.)

I did church today but sat in the chancel alone--the crucifer and chalice bearer sat in the first row. I blessed the bread and wine before the service without touching it with the Junior Warden as my witness.

In the Episcopal Church you cannot consecrate without a witness.

I wore a mask when I wasn't talking and sometimes when I was and left before the postlude so people wouldn't be near me.

All that was what the Wardens and I came up with as a plan.

A layperson distributed the bread and another the wine.

And I'm anxious, waiting until tomorrow to test myself.

Keep me in you hearts and hope the test is negative.

I sure do....
