Tuesday was a pretty good day all around. If you read my last post, I was having a fairly relaxing lunch break, work wasn't being overly terrible, and I was looking forward to my Wednesday afternoon off.

Then my wife texted me that she felt like she had the flu.
Then after work we tested her.
And sure enough - COVID.

She's doing ok. It's not hitting her any worse than a mild case of the flu, which is good news. I've self-tested the past three days and all have been negative, which is also good news. Hoping it passes without any long-term effects.

It did end up shifting around my Wednesday golf plans a bit. Naturally, all the things you want when you're sick - gingerale, saltines, cans of soup - were entirely vacant from the pantry, so I had to make a shopping trip and then throw some lunch together for her (the caregiver in me took over LOL). But after that I did manage to get out to the course, and even had a decent game.

Then someone from work called.
There was a customer-created crisis that had to be resolved immediately.
And sure enough, I was the only one who could take care of it after hours.

So rather than rounding out the day with some spicy wings and frosty beers, back home I trod to spend a couple hours in front of the computer. It's part of the job, and I usually don't have an issue dealing with things like that, but when it's entirely the result of someone else's negligence, I get kinda cheesed off.

So a bit of a mixed bag this week, but not terrible. Hopefully yours is going well (even a bit better).
