It would be nice to come out of this COVID ordeal with some kind of accomplishment besides being able to cut & dye my own hair. The instrument rating test (IFR) is scheduled for Thursday morning, kind of a now or never thing. I'm tired of studying every day, it's time to just do it. … Continue reading Over Studying
It's good to be back home, it's been strange every time I go someplace else and adjust to it. What's been the most shocking is how packed the beaches were?? More than ever!! Usually I throw a bike in my truck so I don't deal with parking closer to the beach, but since I didn't … Continue reading Escape from L.A.
Armed with a negative result, it was time to see my mom again. There won't be a service for Jefferey for awhile, the grief is coming to all of us in waves. It was so sudden, it's easy to see all the photos and think he's still here. If I've learned anything about people dying, … Continue reading COVID & LA
It's really easy to get into a routine of never leaving the house this past few weeks. Now I can venture a bit, still being cautious. First thing I did was sign up to swim again, today a hike and cleared my head. Every night I've been sitting outside to see the comet, just can't … Continue reading Some Freedom & Loss
Get to keep my pilot's license AND go see my mom!! That'll teach me to take 20-somethings out with me. I'm going to be a COVID paranoid bitch from here on out, or maybe just be able to say NO. Still going to watch "Ozark," it's 4 o'clock 🙂 That took 8 days after the … Continue reading Negative
How incredibly inefficient!! Monday I would have sat it out 14 days for the woman and her daughters who tested positive and the one I took sailing. Here's the deal with that, I quarantined immediately after she left and have seen no one. That's me, anyone else would have just gone about their lives with … Continue reading No results still…8 days later
This is frustrating!! When that woman signed off saying they tested positive she said, "Sorry for the inconvenience." At least I have a chance to just sit tight and study for this IFR (Instrument rating) test. I've been studying for months and doing practice tests. There are a few things that weren't clicking that are … Continue reading 5 days & waiting
14 days since contact with COVID, 7 days since my guest left and started self quarantine, 3 days since my test which might take a week for results. Gone through a gambit of emotions. Now I'm just waiting it out, almost hoping I do have it if I'm not sick and haven't been around anyone … Continue reading Things to do while waiting test results…
Went in to get tested, it was pretty easy actually. I signed up on-line a week before when the girl who works at Trader Joe's didn't back down from visiting and staying with me. What I didn't expect is that other family txt'ing me saying they're all positive! Doing the math, out of possibly 10 … Continue reading And now, I wait
So far, so good. It's been almost 2 weeks since I went to that outdoor lunch with the family who tested positive, the girl who stayed with me left on the 7th and I'm still sitting that one out self quarantined. The hardest part is trusting that other people have good judgement when they are … Continue reading No Symptoms
