May. 11th, 2020 03:00 pmCommenceth Week 9 of quarantine and working from home. I would really like to get an antibody test to see if that sinus cold that kicked my ass up one side and down the other for a week in January and then lingered for another two or three weeks was in fact COVID. Back then it couldn't be, because I wasn't coughing, but since then who knows?
We've decided that the rising second years aren't coming back to campus until at least September but probably January. The rising third years are coming back for preclinical and lab exercises only, sometime in early June, and the rising fourth years are at the mercy of the Department of Health in terms of patient care and community health center externships. No idea what that means for the rest of us. At least I can keep working from home. I just wish I had some more options when I'm not working.
After the Saturday Mothers' Day family Zoom, I finally broke down and ordered the cable that will supposedly make my scanner happy. Apparently several other family members are having issues with theoretically wireless devices (holding them up in front of the router to show them where the wifi is doesn't work, because two of us tried that), and we all sympathized with each other. Printers seem to be the major culprits. I don't want a $229 doorstop, and I can maybe fix that with a $10 cable. So cable it is.
And I ordered some more shirts, because as of Friday I've lost three since January to irreparable holes in the left elbow. Still unsure as to why the left elbow, and why only the left elbow. It's all well and good that I can wear T-shirts while working from home (except I have to put a sweatshirt on because it was March for four months, and now that it's May it's April, so it's cold in here), but someday I'm going to need more work-appropriate shirts, and I've been putting off ordering them for going on nine weeks.
I failed to buy kitty litter yesterday, so now it's got to wait until Saturday, because the pet store is only open 10-4. Not so convenient when I have to be online 9-5 on weekdays. I'm not going to run out of kitty litter before Saturday, but harumpf, anyway.
