kareinaWhile I have enjoyed all of my days stone carving, Friday was the most fun. Anna joined me, and we made rapid progress on the bellows stone. With the company as I worked I didn't feelthe need for breaks as often as I normally take them.
Friday evening we found out that our housemate tested positive for Covid.
Friday night I woke up in the middle of the night, and since I was awake anyway, I turned on the computer and set up a google doc spreadsheet for the inventory of what had been in the smithy when it burned. Our boss had asked Keldor to write up a list, so I started one for him. Saturday was my day off, so being awake in the night wasn't a problem.
Saturday they were expecting stormy weather.not only was it my day off, it was also supposed to be Keldor’s day off. But with the forcasted weather he and Rod decided to head down the hill and take down the cover over the forge so it wouldn't blow away.
They planned to come back up the hill, and then go to the longhouse to do some rhings with the wood working tools there. I planned to join them, and perhaps do some carving on my own project, it being my day off.
So they went down the hill, and I sat to the computer. Did more with that spreadsheet, sent an important email, paid bills. Eventually put the computer down to cook the food I had meant to cook.
Eventually, Keldor came back up and reported that the weather was better than predicted, so they wound up working afterall with the children's forge activity.
By then I was starting to feel like I might be fighting off a virus,so I tooka hot shower in hopes that it would help.
Sunday morning I felt fine,so I went upto the longhouse and started stone carving. But was lower energy than normal, not engaging with the visitors,just focusing o the stone. After one hour I realised that I really didn't have the energy for that, and clocked out, went home and slept for another couple of hours.
That evening after the smiths came back up the hill Rachel was feeling poorly, and I, while not feeling quite sick, did feel like my body was fighting off something.
So we got covid tests.she tested positive directly, I tested negative.
Monday morning I still felt like I was fighting off something, soI sent a note to my boss, who replied that I should stay home untill well, and that she also had covid.
Another nap, and then I rode along with Keldor to return tools borrowed from the museum smithy at Å (i could relax as easily in the car as at home, and there was no one in the car to risk infecting. On the way ho e he obtained more covid tests, and this time I tested positive. At the same time, I feel better--more like I won the battle woththe virus and there is just clean up to do. Hope that isn't an illusion.
