Notes From Quarantine
​DAYS 4 AND 5
Monday, Nov. 9 and Tuesday, Nov. 10


The masked woman who lives upstairs seems much improved. She talks of some congestion and an occasional cough, but little else. She still is bereft of odor detection, which is troubling. A burst of energy from her yesterday inspired her to dust everything in about 20 square acres of area. My entire day consisted of working remotely, yesterday, which was fine.  My necessary scheduled medical treatments were cancelled Tuesday, and it will be at least 10 days before I can get them. Just another example of how this virus threatens people’s health, even when they aren’t infected with it. Learned today that even though the masked woman upstairs can end her public quarantine in two days, she and I still need to quarantine from each other for a week longer. Was extremely sleepy today, slept through most of the morning, woke up and had lunch, did some work, then slept through most of the afternoon.

Today’s observations:
The next person who tells me to get more Vitamin D will be punched in the throat, virtually. I have six doctors, who all examine me thoroughly, regularly. I diligently follow their advice. Why would someone with absolutely no medical training, who has absolutely no idea how much Vitamin D I am getting or not getting, presume to know that I need more Vitamin D? Thanks guys, I know you mean well, but you don’t know what the hell you’re taking about.

When I call people idiots, it’s only because it’s not polite to call them assholes. I don’t talk that way, do you? I don’t. Do you?

OK, let me get this straight, Mitchy — there’s something illegitimate about the ballots that elected Joe Biden … but … The ballots that elected all the Senators and Representatives are totally legit … but … They’re the same ballots. You’re a clown, Mitchy, you’re a clown.

When I watch the movie “W” it actually makes me like George W. Bush.

I miss the TV show "Cheers."

Today’s quarantine playlist: Gordon Lightfoot, Bob Dylan and Metallica.

Overall status: Fair to middlin’.
