Been a long time since I commented here, though I've been lurking in chat.

HEADINGS

Yes

COVID

Also yes, right before Christmas. 4 people in our "pod" caught it, not throwing anyone under the bus for mistakes today though. I had a very mild sore throat for 2 days then fever chills for 3 days while never having a temperature higher than 99.5. coinciding with the chills my pulse rate would spike whenever I moved. Sitting up in bed raised it to 100, standing up sent it to 120. Of the other 3 people, two had very mild sure throats for 2 or 3 days, and one had a high fever for 11 consecutive days.

CHEESE

I got four and a half pounds of cheese from my in-laws as a Christmas present. It's clear that they love me.

COLD

Lost power in an unpredictable 60 to 90 minutes on / 8 to 12 hours off for almost two and a half days. Got a bit cold in the house but it was the most peaceful two days in the last year. Not sure what to think about that, that sitting on the couch with no heat or electricity was better than the way I handled the pandemic the rest of the time.

GARDEN

Gonna plant cherry tomatoes, poblano peppers, green beans, white scallop squash.

Was this in Texas?

Yep, DFW area.

Politics and power aside, it was actually really nice to get weather so unusually cold for a change.
