It was an ordinary day. Almost! I actually got out of bed and felt like doing something. Carol and I have been under the weather with COVID. Often thought I would never get the dreaded disease as long I took care of myself and stayed away from others who weren't as cautious. It just doesn't work that way I found out. When Carol and I moved to Woodcrest Villa we joined a few groups that we thought would give us a chance to meet others with like interests. I joined the campus choir and Carol joined a few other groups. Seemed to be working out well until we found other members of the groups we had joined had come down COVID. We'll still be OK we reasoned since we are being careful to stay away from those that were ill. But, who are those people that have COVID? You can't look at them and see the letters COVID across their forehead. We got COVID from our best friends! They didn't try to give it to us, but we still got it. Let me tell you...YOU DON'T WANT TO GET COVID! As I type this story I am coughing and coughing. At times the coughing never stops. And, when the coughing stops, my throat feels like it is double in size. All we have been doing is laying in bed. Lucky we have a second bed for visitors, since Carol has taken over one bed and I have taken over the other bed. But...we have been blessed with a mild dose of the disease. Some friends have not been as lucky and are now in the hospital. We felt we could never get the disease if we were careful. Careful of what? We have no idea whom we got the disease from! Some people we know haven't been as lucky. As our body ages, it takes longer to get better. So, I've decided I have pushed enough keys and it is now time for another rest in my welcoming bed! It was another extraordinary day in the life of an ordinary guy.
