test my patience

 We are anxiously awaiting news from Carm’s golf buddy A. He thinks he might have Covid so it’s possible (although unlikely) that Carm has been exposed. The other golfing buddy has already been tested with a Negative result. Out of an abundance of caution today we went to get tested ourselves. We are waiting with bated breath. 


If A tests positive, and even if we are negative we’ll have to self-isolate until next Sunday, 14 days after possible exposure.


I can see this sort of stress happening over and over for the next year or more, unless we become total hermits and go to online grocery shopping. I just can’t do it! We are SO careful as it is and surely golf is the perfect social distance sport. But since I’ve been having near panic attacks with the worry it might end up being the best option. Winter will isolate us.


We went to the same drive-thru testing site that we went to in April (or was it May). They were well organized so that even though we were numbers 114 & 115, we were finished by 10:45. The ‘guy’ said that Mondays were the worst and that today was even busier because of the stat holiday yesterday.


Last night we had a long distance visit with Olaf and Stephanie - gosh the time flies by as we natter and laugh. It was awkward the first few times we had online visits but now it seems easy.


It’s been another dreary day but luckily (?) the rain held off until he got the grass cut!



“Faeries, come take me out of this dull world,

For I would ride with you upon the wind,

Run on the top of the dishevelled tide,

And dance upon the mountains like a flame.”

William Butler Yeats
