Every couple of years whether I need to or not.

Okay let's face it. I don't post here very often. I was gonna say once a year whether I need to or not, but it looks to me like you have missed even that extremely easy to achieve goal. The last time I said anything was in February 2019. Obviously quite a bit has happened between February 2019 and May 2020. The main thing has happened is that we are now all avoiding the coronavirus. 

So far I have been social distancing and staying at home as much as possible. We have made special arrangements at our office to avoid any risk of spreading the disease. I am working from home most days.

When you read the news, everyone seems to be worried about dying of the coronavirus. But that's not the only bad thing that can happen. I've read several reports of people who were young, healthy, and got the coronavirus. Suffice it to say they didn't like it. It was extremely uncomfortable for a couple of weeks and greatly inconvenienced them and everyone they were around.

Another inconvenience associated with the coronavirus is the test. They take a very long Q-tip and stick it very far up your nose. I have seen many descriptions of this process. I think the lady who said that they stole her soul was is exaggerating a bit. But, only a bit.  I am going to have to have that test tomorrow. This is associated with another unpleasant medical test which I will not describe here. But I have to go in very early tomorrow morning and let them stick a Q-tip way up my nose. The good news is we will find out if I have somehow managed to get exposed to the coronavirus in spite of our rather heroic efforts to avoid it. Assuming I have not, I am going to have to self quarantine (as if I had not been doing that anyway) until early Thursday morning when Helena will take me to the doctor for this other unpleasant test.

I suspect I'm fine. If you don't see a post from me here for a couple of years please assume that the reason is that I just don't update this blog all that often. I could promise to do better, but there's absolutely no reason for me to make this promise. I honestly don't think anybody reads this except me, and I don't think I read it all that often.
