The OM is now awake.

Think I shall get a few miles in before we have to leave and before The Orb departs completely.

Had a dream last night that i was changing the oil in my truck . i drained all the oil then drove the truck down the parts store. (With no oil in it) then the lady behind the parts counter gave me a 55 gallon drum of 90w gear oil... i said lady, this is the wrong stuff. I need 15-40 and 12 gallon jugs... Oh ok sir no problem...

Then she comes back with like 200 bottles of finger sized oil jugs saying my total will be over 2,000 dollars.... I said u got to be kidding me, what kind of parts store is this... I remeber being so confused and angry and hopped right back in my rig (with no oil in it) and drove right back home. About that time im pulling into the driveway my engine seized up.... At that point i became so angry and lit my truck on my fire right there in the driveway... About the time the fire department showed up thats when i woke up and realized it wasnt real life.... But im still angry about how the parts counter lady can be so dumb...

Around Dec 27th I was in the truck in NC. I felt like I was coming down with a head cold, but otherwise okay. I ate at the truckstop restaurant, called Missus Skillet, and went to bed.

I woke up at 4am, feeling very stuffy, kinda weak, possibly feverish......."crappy".

I called night dispatch, told them I wasn't gonna make my next load, I'm sick and gotta rest, I might have the flu.

Night guy says, no problem, there's some bad crud going around, all terminals are affected, take care of yourself, keep us advised.

I slept, drank water, monitored my temperature. Was near 101° for about 24 hrs, then broke. Overall body aches set in.

I felt well enough to travel on New Year's Day. Got up the road about 3 hours, pulled into a Love's, and went to sleep. Got up the following afternoon, drove the rest of the way home.

At home, head congestion got worse, moved to my chest a little, coughing started, minor case of the runs, no appetite, sense of taste/smell gone, general lethargy.

Missus calls my doctor, who has left the practice.

The gatekeeper says we'll cover him, go get a covid test.

(My old doc would never have done that. I wonder if that's why she left the practice.)

So we did. We're both positive.

"Take tylenol, get rest and fluids, call us if you think you need a ventilator"..........

So, the county health department gets paid for the test they gave me, gets federal money for "two more confirmed cases of covid", gets to report me to DoomCenter 7 as fuel for the never-ending-crisis-and- hand-wringing machine, and meanwhile, I'm arguing with the big boss about being able to use my vacation pay since I've been out of work a little over a week, and my anniversary date is just three months away.

I still can't taste or smell, so it doesn't matter what I eat.

I DO have an appetite, but eating seems a chore.

Still rather stuffy. It improves over the course of the day, the longer I stay upright. Using my cpap overnight "re-packs" my sinuses.

I figure when the "quarantine" ends Wednesday, might as well go back to work.

I tried the Mucinex, but skipped the roller dog. That was the flaw in my treatment plan.

theres the problem with this. These “doctors” arent treating people. They say just go home take something for the fever and come back if you get worse. There all drugs that help people get better but you have to find a doctor that really cares about people. Not like the pulmonologist that sent a patient home with pneumonia because they werent vaxxed. Yes that really happened in my area and theres more like that one also. This one doctor went on a tirade about his fellow cohorts but he stopped before naming them.

22 is barely a round trip to the nearest store/gas station for me... Town is 20 miles beyond that store.

Just have to plan your shopping. Make that one big trip to Wal mart once a month. I love the Country. I have to agree with my wife though, it’s sure is handy to have everything within a few miles, 15-20 at the most. A lots changed in 40 yrs. 2 lane road with nothing but a barn, now is 5 lanes each way. It’s convenient.

Skirt steak diced and seasoned with Cilantro, lime, garlic, cumin and a few other spices. Then a quick high heat pan sear on the cubes.

Anyone with Omnicron that's been vaccinated? Is it less severe?

This is from my Daughters employer. The other 3 major trauma hospitals are reporting roughly the same. Henry Ford, Ascension, and U of M. Non essential surgeries are being postponed. The concern is a possible shortage of beds and Workers for seriously ill patients of all sorts, that need to be treated in a Full Trauma Hospital.
