Friends list pruning. Also things up my nose.
Just as a heads up, I'm going to cut my friends list back. Hopefully that will help me keep up better with it. It's nothing personal at all!
In other news:
I had to go get a Coronavirus test today.
The drive up part was cool as hell. They had almost a dozen people with signs up directing you to drive here, follow them (in your car with them on foot!), keep your window up, hold your ID up to the window... It was a well-oiled system, and no one was ahead of me, so it was quick.
The test itself: UGH. They stick a swab six inches up your nose. Through your nose to the back of your throat sort of? It was pretty awful, and for hours after I had the oddest pain (sort of like a headache and an earache and nose pain all at the same time) and it burned like I hand snorted pepper.
They told me I'd get the results in 2-3 hours by phone. Impressed by that turnaround time, I left.
Five hours later, still no results, so I called the office. Apparently they only call you if it's positive. And they still hadn't even gotten the results of my test yet.
I was less impressed.
I'm not sick at all, so I'm reasonably confident mine will be negative. But I have a medical procedure on Monday (colonoscopy, ugh) and they required me to get one first.
This weekend is going to be fun. No eating solid food for 48 hours and the prep you have to do...
