Weekly Ephemera #111

• The Wife's older brother and his wife stayed at our house after Mom's memorial Sunday.  We went to Louis M's for breakfast on Monday before they went home.
• Tuesday I went for a nice walk ... the first of many I hoped.  I walked 5.3 miles (8.6 km).  I was planning to walk on Thursday too but something was going to get in the way.
• On Wednesday, with the help of one of Mom's stepsons, I moved Mom's Guatemalan furniture to our basement.  We still aren't sure where the cabinets, tables, and benches will go.
• Wednesday afternoon Mom's urn was buried in Dad's plot at the Noble Center Cemetery.  It felt very final as the urn was lowered into the hole and dirt was tossed in.  Mom is gone.
• Wednesday night my throat was scratchy and I developed a massive sinus headache.  By Thursday afternoon I had a mild fever.  I was trying to recover on the couch in the basement when the Wife's brother confirmed he and his wife had tested positive with COVID.  Her other brother who had come by our house Sunday night with his wife also tested positive.  So did I.  This is my first confirmed COVID infection though I had a possible one back in 2022 (I was irresponsible and did not test at the time).  I think walking is done for a few days.
  
  

  

  Crap ...

  On Saturday the Wife said she wasn't feeling well.  As of this post she hasn't tested positive yet.
• When I wasn't watching the Democratic National Convention I finished "The Boys", watched the latest seasons of "Solar Opposites" and "Futurama", and started the second season of "Hit Monkey".  In other words, I've been catching up on some television while I've been in quarantine.
