I guess there really isn’t any good time to test positive for Covid. My turn came on Monday. I didn’t feel 100% at band practice Sunday, so didn’t join Shockker for drinks afterwards and just went home. I had symptoms Monday morning, so got flagged by the health screen app from my work (Netflix TV series) and got a drive through test at the Netflix Lab (yes Netflix has its own doctors and labs). I got a call later from the HSS telling me the sad news, and began the task of cancelling our gig at the Railway (sorry Balto and Moylan).

After a hellish night of broken glass throat and chest pain, I’ve been able to keep symptoms at bay by eating DayQuil and NyQuil. My poor liver will need to recover from the vast amounts of acetaminophen, but all in all, things could be way worse. Unfortunately, Shane, Brian and Christa all tested positive today as well, and Shockk is isolating with symptoms so… Yeah, after dodging this bullet for two and a half years, we’ve all been caught.
