Holy Shit
My plans for this weekend have changed again. First off Liz texted me and told me that sometime next week when the buyers sign for the house I will be signing for the condo. Liz seems to think I will be moving right then. I am resisting that a lot at the moment. So I will be rushing to clear out the closet and start some of the pre-move activities (get quotes for the alarm systems, get the change of address moving kit from the post office, more importantly the moving companies) and keeping up on the housecleaning (it’s redundant to say housekeeping). I actually would have been doing that anyway.
I was supposed to meet up with my childhood friend Lisa this afternoon but that really had to change again when I learned from VT at work that NW had been tested positive for the virus. So I had to change my appointments for Monday (I was going to my primary for a physical, covid, and flu shot). I guess I would not have gotten the covid test at the primary. I also cancelled my infusion for Wednesday.
There hasn’t been any official notification and when VT told me after going on a tirade (and I somehow guessed who she was talking about) she told me that the ED knows as she spoke with her Friday morning. Now I told two others before leaving for the day. A part of me is now worried that it will blow up in my face.
I actually called AB today and told her. She is worried for me now. As well as the NW, I did ask her not to tell her the info came from me but she will see what NW says.
As I cancelled my appointments I called Liz and left a message (I learned later she was sleeping) and when we spoke that last night we talked about what this might mean. I told her I am not going to PA. That I am going to work until I get my results or they send us home.
After a couple of missteps I did manage to get a covid 19 test appointment for Thursday. I tried to get it earlier but either I wasn’t doing it right or there weren’t available times. When I talked with the others they all got them for this weekend. Well I am not going to a town/city 45 minutes away to get an appointment when there is a testing site in my hometown. STUPID.
So I have been waffling as to whether or not I am going to PA the weekend after Thanksgiving. I wasn’t looking forward to the phone call to Jim to tell him my decision. I spoke to him earlier this week after earlier reports about even more increased cases. His response was one of frustration I think but I was also giving him permission to say tell me “Kate stay home”. He feels we are adults we can decide if we want to get together.
I ended up calling him as I writing this and told him of the latest developments and of an idea that Liz gave me last night. He wasn’t keen on her idea and when I told him of some of the other things that BB wanted to do he says he wants to talk to Liz about the extent of Bob’s authority. He believes BB’s authority should end with the house. So he wants phone conversation with Liz about it I am fine with it because I am not comfortable with relaying info from one person to another because I usually lose the translation. Although I do think we should discuss it as a family. He didn’t want a conference call. How about a zoom?
Before I forget, the idea that Liz ran passed me last night was use what I have in my savings $2K to buy a new couch and bed for the condo and have BB reimburse me. I am hesitant because I am not sure how long it will take me to build back up. Jim feels that Bob should just give it to me as he said he is willing to help with that. That’s when I told him that BB wants what is left over from the final condo sale to go into the kitty.
I am trying to play catch up with my blog entries. I got as far as Monday’s entries and still have plenty more. I know that Debra will have a lot of reading to catch up on.
Before I do I think I am going to get the moving company quotes.
