Check in

Sat next to my brother at my nephew's basketball game last night. He's a soph. starting on his varsity team, super proud to watch him play. So things are going well.... bro calls me today and says he tested positive for Covid. I'm a bit of a hypochondriac so I immediately start feeling symptoms (you should have seen me when I took my abnormal psych class - I was sure I exhibited every trait of every disorder in the DSM). So I'm going to wait a couple days and go get tested. Im fully vaxxed including a booster, but check off all the boxes of being at risk, so while all will be fine, there's a bit of trepidation. Thanks for asking!

Doing good, and hoping for some snow in my neighborhood today -- the first of 2021. Usually we start seeing snow in October, sometimes earlier.

So far so good - but very concerned since little sis (my roomie) has some symptoms and her boss had Covid! She's going to try to get a test today. Crazy times.
 
I'm well but bored. I'm hoping for some sun today and especially for tomorrow's early morning bike ride. It's been cold and cloudy in the southern Ca desert.
I read today that Conn now has 14.6 fewer days of snow than when I grew up in Conn.
 
Just recovered from a 2-week bout with COVID. Much to my surprise when I came out of my fog The UConn girls were still in theirs. This season is turning out to be a big surprise. We need Azzi to be a #1 type talent and do her 3 point and pull up jumper things. Carolyn is showing us she is our starting 3 with rebounding defense and all forms of scoring. Go Huskies!!!!
 
I'm OK... missing UCONN WBB, but that's small stuff...although a wonderful distraction for me.
IF any of my fellow BY'rs are Prayerful People, I ask that you add Mrs. PAHuskeyFan to your list... you can use the name "Susan"... She is really struggling with a progressive disease for which there is no known cause or cure. Been getting the best care possible from one of the Top Neurology Hospitals in the Country, and top shelf Physical Therapy, but there is no solution and she continues to decline. She is still at home, and I am the caregiver...so it's a stressful time for us both.
Thanks:(

Was doing very good until last night; after the great drive and shot by Hansen to beat SC, I was feeling even better! Be safe all.
 
PAHuskeyFan - I am very sorry to hear about Susan’ situation. I send you both best wishes for a gentle outcome. Please get as much help as possible for your caregiving. It is important that you stay strong, for Susan’s sake as well as yours.
 
My prayers for both you and Susan. As @Ex Nutmegger stated, try to get help on the caregiving. My brother and sister-in-law had to get help taking care of my Mom. They said that it was the best decision they had ever done, it helped keep them grounded during my Mom's illness before passing.
 
I'm feeling great after just getting home from a late 2 day Christmas with my Kids. Life is good. I will keep those of you where life is not so good in my thoughts.

Prayers for Susan. Tomorrow I will light a candle in church for her.
 
Yes, prayers for all doing worse than they would wish.

All is "ok" here in Arizona, I think. I was a bit concerned with some cold / allergy symptoms, but I have them almost every year around this time, felt fine, and after a couple weeks they have mostly gone away. My wife, who is immunosuppressed and therefore stays home is likewise feeling as well as her health concerns permit.

Wishing you all a very happy New Year - better times are ahead, I hope and pray.

Challenging time. Being in the 80's senior window has seen the death from the covid of two family members, who were also seniors in 2021. Can't even attend services, no closure. Thank heaven for zoom and tech folks. Living in a senior facility, great care but on-going exposure and a few cases of the current variant within the property. Scary though a fully vacced property. Age and covid don't mix well.
Love the Boneyard and their reaching out during this difficult time. Through tears, thanks!

I'm healthy... but bored.... and to make things worse, I just got "Registered Guest" status on American Airlines, meaning I can fly for free anywhere they fly as long as there is an open seat... but with this continuing pandemic, I'm grounded... at least I'm in San Diego... :)

Patience, my friend! I just got to 1K with United, but cancelled a couple of trips, including to Maui.

Best wishes to SUSAN! My neurology is my daily companion.
Be the best you can be.... daily! Z
 
On balance, things are pretty good here in Alexandria.

I am triple vaxxed and have been tested for trips to Hawaii and the Bahamas and back from the Bahamas and Mexico 3x. I'm trying to stay safe, as the Covid numbers in my area are spiking very badly.

I was able to play golf 2x in December--unusual--and tried for New Years Eve, but everything was booked! Short days, I guess! After 3 days in the 60s, we had 6" of snow today. It's beautiful outside.

I was able to see UConn games in Hartford, Nassau, Newark, and Uncasville. I saw a number of Boneyard friends and chatted with Christyn, CD, and Tim and Katie Fudd.

After a few years of "kicking the can down the road," per my surgeon, "it's time." I had a partial nephrectomy in 2006 and another in 2014 and am scheduled for a third in mid-March. My surgeon is very good (thankfully) and very busy, so I scheduled the surgery for after the Big East Tournament (as initially scheduled). My doc is confident he can manage the surgery. :)
