Alas, we have struggled with Covid at our house this week, after 2+ years of being *ever so careful* too! Well, my hubby went to a convention last week in Florida and it came home with him. So there it is. And 3 days after him, I had it too.

Not sure I can blame my impaired solving ability to Covid brain but I am just not seeing my way to the shore. Feeling OK about it since my focus is really on staying healthy. We are quarantined and I've had plenty of time to analyze this puzzle. I sure wish I had been a better piano student!

Re Covid, we are very fortunate to have been given Paxlovid - new Pfizer drug just approved - it works wonders! I am mid course and feel pretty good though still a bit fatigued.That being said, 24 hours after his last dose, my hubby is today experiencing a relapse. So we are not out of the woods after all. Hope this message helps anyone out there should Covid come knocking at your door. Paxlovid is amazing but please remain cautious.

I only have a few hours left till the Sunday deadline and I just don't think I will solve it in time. I can't have a drink anyhow, so it will just be water on the rocks.

My wife and I attended a funeral two weeks ago (had to travel by air) and toward the end of last week we both had cold symptoms. We were thinking that's all it was until my sister, who also attended the funeral, texted me that she was feeling poorly and did a home test twice and the results were positive. So my wife and I did home tests and, sure enough, we were positive. Our symptoms remained cold-like and I consulted with our physician, who said to self-quarantine for five days and wear a mask for five days after that. As you mentioned, we, too, have spent 2+ years of being ever so careful because my wife is a diabetic and one of our sons, who lives nearby, has a pulmonary embolism. Oh well, you can't win them all.

Did you see this article: https://www.wsj.com/articles/more-than- ... lewebshare

I was feeling like a reckless fool for having caught this. After reading the article, maybe I was actually more careful (or luckier) than half my age group.

Hope you feel better soon!
