Well, I talked with my boss. I failed all the COVID eval questions, which I pretty well expected. My congestion is coming down though, but I still have one round of the antivirals left and I sound very much like I have a sore throat, though I don't feel like I have one.
Good news: Friday, barring any symptoms, I can just clock back in and get back to work! Also, I can attend my big show after work.
I was able to buy a new (to me) jacket this morning. All my others were casualties of the busted water pipes earler this year, and this morning was the breaking point. I masked up and found my way to a consignment store. The clerk there took pity on me and charged $5 for the jacket and heavy flannel shirt I selected. 50% off that was much appreciated given my limited income at the moment. She even had some excellent shoes that she tried to sell me. I want them, but another time I hope.

I will permit it to pass over me and through me.
And when it has gone past, I will turn the inner eye to see its path.
Where the fear has gone there will be nothing. Only I will remain."
