I do not. These are hand carved and one of a kind.

Some good news - G is out of quarantine!!!!! AAAaaaaand! He got an offer for a new job offer with a medical equipment sales company he's been trying to get a job with since before the pandemic. They shut down hiring at the start of the pandemic but they recently started the process again and gave him a job offer. This is a big deal because it's a solid 8K+ more than he's currently making per year with real benefits. Plus it gets him out of the public, which means less COVID exposure AND less working with the public, which like, is great. No more watching someone get escorted out of work screaming by armed security for being maskless for no reason any more.

D will still be working there. But at least we got one person out, and that's good!

Plus I get to hug G again! Yay! I missed that a lot. ;O;

The bad news is he's discovered he's really easily winded. Despite his symptoms being no worse than his every day allergies it's become clear that his lungs were still effected and that's going to be a bit of a trip to recover from. Before he got the job offer he asked work for an extra week of PTO and it was granted, not sure if that's going to be hazard pay or come out of his PTO not but it could be.

We can chat later......
One note : PBS story... Lungs inflammation... Turmeric...

Just read an on line article about dogs detecting Covid infection by sniffing armpits. Poor dog that has to sniff mine. I blame it on Scottish/German DNA. Daughter calls it the 'Wallace Stench'.

My crazy late uncle had a favorite saying "let's choose up sides and smell armpits." Despite this I grew up fairly normal. He was my mom's nutty brother.

found out a friend died of covid-19 this morning.
A group from work went to a closed bar for a party. A couple of guys got it. .. my friend, their boss, got it 2 weeks after the party so they think they got it at the party and he got it from them. I guess he had been on ventilator for a week or so.
He was a couple years older than me, only health issue was high BP that was under control
