Oh she's isolated in her room. She's not allowed to be with us until her test is negative. Well, other than my husband driving her to the test location, but they both have to wear masks and she has to sit in the back.

It is good that you have a plan in place for getting food, cooking, etc. Hopefully, this will be a non-event.
I would still send Gerald that email, though.

Good morning.
I did my 60 minutes of yoga. I am not sure about this program. I think because the instructors are simultaneously doing the class and giving instructions, it kind of ruins the flow. They usually have a class and they give instruction while walking around and adjusting people. But they can't do that right now, because of covid. So, I think it limits how rigorous these classes can be. They are not bad classes, just different than what I typically expect from these instructors. I also think because the goal is "detox", there is more emphasis on that.
It's supposed to be 72 here today, so I am getting out for a nice walk. My daffodils have really popped this week. It looks like they might open up the next few days.
We were supposed to go to DC tomorrow, but we canceled. The new furnace is getting installed and it takes 5 hours--if all goes well. We didn't want to risk it, so we postponed to next weekend. Unfortunately, the weather is not going to be as nice next weekend, but we'll be nearer to the predicted peak bloom of the cherry blossom trees. They are telling people not to come down to the Tidal Basin. I'd like to get close enough for photos, but not walk along it, if possible. If that's not possible, I'll have to go back next year. Even with a mask, I won't walk among a crowd.

It's too bad about the weather, but from the sounds of it, getting the furnace installed is the priority. And I don't blame you...I won't walk among a crowd either. I hate even going to the grocery store right now.
The only reason I don't mind the grocery store is I go at rope drop.

I went this morning at about 8:30 and it was sooooo nice!! Not busy, no stupid people.
E now has a fullblown fever. Not high, but it's actually considered a fever now. 38.1C (100.6F) And I was talking to my best friend and I told her all about it, obviously. And I mentioned things tasted funny to E, and she said she has a friend who is a doctor and told her that that's also a symptom...that the symptoms don't affect everyone in the same way. So some people lose their taste all together, but some taste everything as a little bit metalic, or a little bit dusty. E said when she had the chocolate earlier, it tasted like really OLD chocolate, like kind of musty. So it all kind of fits....I really expect she'll have tested positive.
Poor kid. Tell her my whole family is pulling for her to get well soon

Thanks. She seems like she feels fine....she was all excited because she had a french test tonight (she set it up with the teacher since she wasn't at school) and got a 94%, and I had to remind her to check her temp again. She wouldn't have really even noticed it if I hadn't made her check her temp, other than yesterday afternoon when she felt too warm, so she checked then. But she didn't even tell me she had checked it or that it was high. So I think she feels fine. Things just taste weird. Even her cough is minimal...I've only heard her cough a couple of times, and she sounded a tiny bit stuffy on the phone when she gave her "permission" to set up a test for her, and listed her symptoms, but when the gal asked if she had a stuffy nose, she said no. It wasn't until later that she was like "Oh....I guess I am a LITTLE bit stuffy." It wasn't even noticable to her, which kind of goes along with what they've been saying in the news...that younger people tend to get such mild symptoms that they don't even realize they have it, so they encourage people to get tested even if they only have mild symptoms.

Oh no! We're hoping for the best for her. Hopefully, everything will be mild and pass quickly. We got sick too early in things to be tested, but it's interesting how you said that chocolate tasted strange to her. When I got whatever Covid-like gunk last February, the first thing I noticed was that my candy bar had a strange taste. To me, it was like the smell of gasoline. Keep us posted.

Yeah, my best friend said she had heard several different things people tasted, but the most common were the metalic taste or the dusty taste. And she said the doctor friend told her that that was because it doesn't affect everyone in the same way. So it's all adding up to me that she most likely will test positive.

I read the suicide part more as a cry for help. I don't think she wanted to kill herself, but I think she wanted some kind of attention. I had some very good talks with the school AP on Monday. I was shocked that the girls' stories all matched up, and he sounded like he was shocked at some of the stuff he learned from everything. Still, I really appreciate that he wanted to take the time with everyone involved as well as fully talking through stuff with me. I still don't trust this girl, but they are working to get her help and all eyes are on these girls now, so they need to behave.

Hopefully it won't be too bad. We've had several friends have it go through their homes. They all showed symptoms around the same time, so any masking at home wound up being a bit too late, but it's not a bad idea if everyone else still feels good. I've seen that with some people in news stories.

Not sure if it's the time change, all of the pollen, the kid stuff, the car stuff or life in general...but I still haven't been motivated to do anything in the gym. I am at least getting plenty of sleep. I'm not oversleeping, but I figure getting proper rest is at least something healthful.
I posted over the auto section, but I found out today that VW is agreeing to repurchase my vehicle. It's not going to happen overnight, but it is going to happen. They are giving me back the value of my trade in, my down payment, and all of my monthly payments. They said that they wouldn't deduct for mileage because the problems started so early in my ownership of the vehicle. So, I'm getting back everything I put into it. I will still need to figure out what I want to replace it.

Well, I have to say I am headachy and yesterday I was sooooo tired and felt pretty cruddy right before dinner and my dinner just... It tasted normal to me, but it just didn't taste good at all. But tonight dinner was great. I do feel too warm, so I checked my temp and it's right at the edge of normal. Normal range is 36.5 to 37.5, and I'm at 37.5. If E is positive, I probably already have it. We isolated her too late, but it's hard to really isolate when you all share a bathroom and she still had to eat, etc. She was mostly isolated anyway, except for meal times, but that's probably enough.

The love is for them buying back your vehicle, not your stress and not feeling motivated. I hope this gives you some peace of mind so you can stop stressing about that at least.

Good news for this morning...my temp is back down to 36.9. Bad news, my husband has a sore throat and E is coughing quite a bit. Still waiting for the test results.

That's really good news about your car. I remember you were looking at the Telluride before you bought the Atlas. Is that still an option?
I am sleeping a ton, too. I have no idea why, but I am going with it. I figure my body wants the extra sleep. I think I was eating more before, since I was awake for 18 hours a day. My appetite seems to have calmed down a bit with additional sleep.

I hope this is all very mild for you all, if you are all positive. I hope your temp stays down, too. How is your son doing?
