Woke up with a stomachache in addition to the sore throat—not sure what that’s about. (Could be the fact that I had half a beer via Netflix Party with a friend before bed, which I hardly ever do.)

I did end up getting Animal Crossing for the Switch. I’m finding it kind of slow and soothing as against “fun” per se but that’s not a bad thing right now. I’m also learning to play the mandolin which is a lot of fun (I ordered one online a few weeks ago anticipating that I would be quarantined at some point.) It has the same tuning as a violin (which I played for many years) so that makes it less daunting.

I emailed T telling him I’d been tested for COVID and his response vis email was, “NOOO!!! Oh man, what are your symptoms?” which I thought was kind of funny. After I told him my symptoms he emailed back saying, “Oh wow, [c], I am so sorry to hear this. I hope the rest of the day goes OK, and please let me know if you need anything.” and then reminded me that we have an appt today (Tuesday).

I know I should be grateful he emailed at all but part of me wishes he had cared enough to call.

And speaking of calling, I told my parents that I had been tested and they immediately said I have to call them daily with a status update. And then they send Insomnia Cookies to me and my roommate
