a souvenier of COVID

Through sheer luck I got a week of individual days off strung together, and then traded with a couple of people to get two more days. The plan was to get together with my brothers; Eightball lives in Arizona, and Hawk would fly there from Seattle.

( sorry it got really long. )

And nobody else has gotten particularly sick at all. Aunt S felt a little worse than her normal allergies, Hawk got a bit of a sore throat, Eightball says he felt nothing from it. Even Hawk's inlaws, who we went to dinner with on Sunday evening (they happened to be in Sedona, it seemed like too amazing a piece of luck to pass up), have texted me to let me know that they are still feeling fine! Something is seriously off with my immune system these days. I used to be the last person to get sick and this past year has been nothing but one illness after another.
