I am apparently the world's worst host.
Had a houseful of friends/company which is a Fall tradition for us. Friends traveled long distances and brought gifts, food, wine, liquor, and more. And Rigby very much enjoyed playing with a dog one of them brought.
In return, I gave them all Covid. One day into their visit, I went from healthy to being knocked flat. So I only saw little of them. Fortunately everyone finished their long travels back home before they got hammered with the same illness I had.
Everyone got blindsided. I must have been exposed to Covid, somehow, just prior to their arrival. I still don't know how.
I was "down hard" for 2 days, then maybe another 2 days rebuilding normal vitality. Came to our CA property for a few days to do some work. And am feeling well enough to split and stack firewood today. But I still have friends who are bedridden and quite sick. Really nasty stuff. Nobody saw this coming.
But I did find a bird pix for Ron ...
