canyonwalkerWe thought this was going to be another adventure weekend. Another Friday Night Halfway. It would've been our fifth Friday Night Halfway in a row— a new record! But then Thursday at dinner I got the message I'd been exposed to Covid-19. Hawk and I decided Thursday night we should stay home this weekend.
I shouldn't make it sound like it's all Covid's fault. We were also tired from a long week. ...Me, especially, from QBRs this week with long days/late nights/early mornings several days in a row. By Thursday evening we hadn't booked reservations yet, though we'd narrowed our plans down to a first choice and a second choice. Thus as much as I was disappointed to lose a weekend of travel I was also relieved not to have to roll from a busy, busy week of work into hitting the road hard Friday afternoon and being out all day Saturday. The only minus was that whatever relaxation I could hope for over the weekend might be ruined by getting sick with Covid-19. 😨
Well, here we are at Sunday morning and I'm not sick. I felt a few symptoms Thursday evening like I might be starting to come down with something, but I think those were partly psychosomatic and partly from drinking too much Wednesday night. I was well Friday and Saturday, and took a test Saturday evening even though I had no symptoms. Negative result. My streak of being a Covid dodger— a Novid—continues!
And so far it's felt good to have a take-it easy weekend.
Friday evening Hawk and I made a simple dinner at home then watched a few hours of TV. That was about the right level of activity for the energy I had after a busy few 14-hour days at work.
Saturday I basically puttered around the whole day. I did a bunch of web surfing, worked on my blog backlog, and watched another hour of TV with Hawk. I did feel bored and underutilized at a few points but on the whole it was another day of matching my activity level to my energy level.
Today, Sunday, I'll putter a bit in the morning then have a leisurely lunch. A friend's coming over to visit and we'll likely have dinner together. Then the evening will be just Hawk and me, and we'll probably watch some TV together. Overall this weekend will be a decent way to wind down from last week and reset for the next week of work. Assuming I still don't get sick with Covid.
