Another week has gone by and we are still under the weather. In the meantime, I did sell the Florida cottage and am only waiting to sign off on the title documents that I sent down unsigned. That process should then complete the sale of the home and we can move on from there. I wish Nancy was feeling better, as she is now day 14 of Covid. Maggie was also a bit under the weather, but I hope fresh chicken later today will fix that up.

After a long period of time getting the Delaware house ready for our winter trip to Florida, disaster hit, as Nancy got Covid, late Saturday night, November 1, 2025. As the symptoms continued to grow, resulting in a couple of sleepless nights, she saw her Primary doctor on Monday, November 3, and was told she had become a victim of Covid.
Not to be left behind, I also started feeling under the weather Monday night, November 3, getting a serious sore throat. I had tried to get a test done at our fancy, local Urgent Care facility Monday afternoon, only to wait a long time, despite having made an appointment and then being told it would take 3-5 days for results. While waiting, Nancy slid out of bed. I have cameras set up, so I saw this from Urgent Care and immediately went home.
Prior to this, Nancy had fallen out of bed at 2:00 AM Sunday morning (November 2) and I had to call 911 to get help from the EMT unit.
By Wednesday, November 5, after lots of salt water gargling, drinking chamomile tea and sleeping in 2-3 hour spurts, I began to regain my composure. My throat felt much better and I was starting to regain some of my strength.
Unfortunately, now 7 days into this mess and Nancy is still sick, still in pain, still struggling. She is shaky, unable to stand without help from me. There was nothing given to her to help, no instructions to ease the pain or lessen the illness. She was told rest for 5 days and all will be fine.
Well, I guess this is our modern medical system at its worst. For four plus years the government was in a panic about Covid and now, “Good luck, hope you land feet first.”
