testing....

 Today I had my first ever Covid test.  Happily the result was negative. The reason for the test was my granddaughter's exposure to Covid last Wednesday. Before he knew she had been exposed and brought the possibility of infection home, my son gave me a ride to a rehearsal on Thursday night.  Happily, all of us have tested negative.  Of course we have all had out shots so that's the way it's supposed to work.  I was reluctant to have this test because I didn't think I would enjoy having someone stick a cotton swab up my nose.  I still don't think I would like that but, happily, Walgreens has a different system.  Following directions emailed to me, I drove up to their drive-through window, rolled the window down just enough to communicate and pass things back and forth.  The friendly masked stranger behind the window and plexiglass layers showed me just where to hold the swab and and how far to stick it up my nose.  I'm sure it was much more comfortable doing it myself.  The instructions said that I would receive the results sometime in the next two to twenty-four hours.  However, when I had made the twenty minute drive home and checked my email, the result was already there.  The next step for me is to get my booster shot and I hope to do that tomorrow.  But I will not self-administer.  In the meantime, I hope you have been enjoying "International Adjust Your Chair Day."  I will continue celebrating by tilting my recliner back just a little farther.
