Thank you all for the birthday wishes (and, Julie, the beautiful cake!) This was a different birthday, to be sure, as I'm isolating in my daughter's guestroom with Covid.
My husband spent a week in San Diego visiting family at the end of June. Apparently that Friday (July 1), when he was flying home and in two airports and on a plane, he caught Covid as he tested positive on Tuesday, July 5. Because of his age & underlying health issues, he went on Paxlovid that night. His fever was gone by the next day and he tested negative on Monday, July 11. (He was isolating in our spare bedroom.) By the weekend, though, he was feeling very, very tired and that Sunday night he tested positive again. I had plans to drive down to my daughter in Virginia on Thursday to help her with various activities she was in. So I tested Wednesday afternoon & I was negative. And I tested Thursday morning & I was negative. And by the time I got down here I was coughing and felt yuck and tested positive. My daughter was just as happy that I was here as she said she would have felt obligated to come up to NJ to take care of me (and dad) otherwise. So I did have a restful time. She will drive us up to NJ this afternoon and then take the train home on Sunday (she was going to come up for the weekend anyway).
