I spent a lot of yesterday anxious that I might have been exposed to anthrax. Long story that I won't waste space here on! In any case, this morning I seem to be past that.

I mentioned in another post that I do not feel like having my therapy video session today. Yes, considering above, some may think it necessary, but I just need a break. My therapist never seems to take a vacation, and the ones I have known about seem to be very short and always fall between my weekly Tuesday appointments. Actually, I am kind of yearning for a day completely alone, too. Hubby has been working from home for a long time now. I asked him if he wishes he had an occasional day all to himself, and he said no, that he likes me home all of the time with him. Of course that makes me feel guilty/bad about my wish.

I don't know what to do with myself, lately. Major home projects are done. The whole flurry of activity that began when we thought hubby would be laid off, is over, since he wasn't. I did express my desire to "run away" (with him), in a sense. We've been looking for flights to Europe in September, which we can't really afford. We are obviously uncertain if the pandemic will still prevent/damper that. My husband's best friend regularly travels to Europe for his job. He just returned from there. Before he left on that trip, he had a major hassle getting a doctor's certificate stating he did NOT have covid 19. Firstly, he struggled to even get tested since they require people must "first display symptoms". Yes, there are some very long line drive through tests in the state, but that wouldn't provide a doctor's certificate. He had to really argue for one, and the test had to be no more than four days before his departure. At least that was the rule for Czech Republic, where he went. It was helpful that he has both American and Czech passports, too. If he didn't, they might not have let him board the onward flight from Frankfurt, Germany to Prague. He said that one American man was sent back to the US, I guess because of unpreparedness, his reason for going to Prague (a friend's wedding), and the fact that they are hesitant to accept people from the US, where the very worst of the pandemic has been. Hopefully this won't be so strict in September. We plan to fly to Vienna, Austria, which has similar rules as Czech Republic. My hubby's Czech passport wouldn't help in that case, if the same rules apply in September. And of course I don't even have an EU country passport. My husband's friend said that upon return to the US, there was basically no checks or inquiries about covid 19 exposure. I'm not sure if it was because he is also an American citizen, or if that was across the board.
