So the plan was to tow the Lyme Lounge over to the planetory sector of porterization. We would back up the Lyme Lounge into their driveway and have a bit of a happy hour.

That was the idea, but we didn’t do it. When the GG proposed this idea to the Porters, the reply was that it would be great but one of them was suffering from a cold. Whenever I say “cold virus”, in the back of my mind is “covid.” I’m not really worried about getting covid (again) at this point but if covid has taught me anything, it that when I get an aerosolized virus (like the common cold (or covid)), I need to keep myself away from other people. Or at least mask and I have tons of N95 masks around.

I used to travel hither and yon with horrible cold symptoms. I felt good even when I was hacking up a lung. You go girl. But how many vulnerable people did I infect? I have had covid once for sure and possibly a second time in the late summer. But I didn’t test. I just stuck it out with Little Cat Z (who also had whatever it was I had).

Covid WAS extremely scary in the beginning. I think people forget that. People were dying. I have heard stories from my parents about polio. Covid was different but (like polio) it was random about who died. As with polio we didn’t know the virus’s rules and a lot of people did die. Heck, we still don’t really know Covid’s rules.
