Raincharm’s Weblog

Carl has been diligently working in the yard this week. The weather is cooperating, and the Mariners are out of town.

He is a busy guy, though. Yard work, walking, shopping, throwing buckets of balls to many folks who play in the local baseball leagues, and working on his baseball projects.

He has made a new baseball pal, Bill “Spaceman” Lee. He’s called a few times, and they have exchanged letters. If he ever gets to Seattle, he says he’ll look us up.

I have been privy to his schedule in depth this week because I have been home every day.

I felt poorly on Friday, spent Saturday sleeping, managed to get sitting and ate a bit on Sunday. I thought I had the flu and not likely to go to work on Monday. Since I had a doctor’s appointment scheduled on Wednesday, I wanted to verify I didn’t have Covid. Except that I did.

Canceled blood donation, doctor’s appointment, soccer game attendance. Working remotely has kept my hand in, although the early days were not as productive.

Every day since has been a bit better, and I no longer have a fever. But it doesn’t take much to wear me out.

I have been keeping my distance from Carl and sleeping in the guest room. He has been doing a great job of caregiving and so far has tested negative.

Well, that’s the exciting news from our corner.

On a more somber note, my brother-in-law’s father passed away earlier this week. He was a really fine person and lived a long and productive life. More on Mark’s blog.
