JRR Tolkien is out there naming two entirely different characters Sauron and Saruman and I'm telling myself I can't have two names starting with the same letter in one book.

I'm covid-quarantining in my daughter's bedroom, because it's at the back of the house and far away from my husband. The window is open onto all the neighbors' backyards. The weather is absolutely gorgeous and someone has a radio outside playing old 90s radio hits. Honestly, aside from the covid part, this pretty much rocks.

@npub1nh6…jd80 Yeah, I've consistently masked on public transportation, including the subway, so no one on my crowded trains yesterday was exposed.

@npub1nh6…jd80 I know I shouldn't but I can't help it. Last night as I was sending out texts to everybody I worked with yesterday, I felt SO BAD.

I knew all of this, but I got a little lazy around the edges, so really, it's my own fault. For the past several weeks, I have often been the ONLY masked person in the grocery store/ in a meeting/ etc, and I still got Covid. So this variant is SUPER EASY to get. Don't leave any cracks in your defenses, like I did.

Pretty sure it was one of those "glancing encounters" that finally got me. Remember, exhaled Covid particles can hang in the air for AN HOUR after an infected person has left the room. That means someone with Covid coughs in an elevator, and when you get in 15 minutes later, you're still breathing in Covid.

So for the past month, I've been back to masking indoors nearly all the time, *but not 100% of the time*. I masked in fittings with performers, and in crowded rooms, but if I was in a room with just one or two co-workers, I'd leave it off. If I was entering a building, I might leave it off in the elevator on the way in and not mask up until I was entering the work space.

Even my industry has scaled back since Covid was declared "over". No more testing, masks optional (although plenty of people still wear them backstage). I also got slack during spring/ summer of this year, until I noticed an uptick in cases at work. Theatre people seem to be canaries in the coal mine for new variants. I knew there was a new one weeks before it was being reported in the media.

So here's the deal with transmissibility. My industry (Broadway) has operated under *heavy* Covid protocols since we finally came back to work in July 2021. We masked in the theatre 100% of the time unless you were a performer, and even then, the mask came off right before walking on stage and went back on as soon as you came off. We tested constantly. It varied from company to company, from daily spit test rapid PCRs to 3x weekly rapid antigens. Culturally, we are VERY CAREFUL.

So my three and a half year no-Covid streak ended last night. Tested positive. So far my only symptom is a scratchy throat and I'm tired, so I'm hoping I only had a minimal exposure and hence low viral load.

So this Erin Carter show on Netflix is pretty good so far.

Just because it's cycling through my playlist right now, have this gorgeous rendition of Wichita Lineman by the Villagers. https://open.spotify.com/track/401JZcvEPe7qMUwZmpvbWE?si=d8aa3e2593f549c5

Y'all...I have worked so hard this week. Just hit send on One. More. Email. This is me the rest of the night.

@npub1gr2…5jm0 Just wait till you spread it out to cut.

I'm watching stuff in #hungarian on Netflix, with English subtitles, to expose myself to more of the language. I started out with The Witcher, but there are too many made-up words in that when you already don't know the language well. Lol. Switched to Enola Holmes. It's "old-timey" so the language is more formal. Right now I catch words, but not sentences, if that makes sense.

Re: that last boost. If you get Covid, get yourself a scrip for Paxlovid. Both my husband and daughter got on paxlovid within 24 hrs of testing positive and they were both symptom free within a day. Neither had a rebound infection.

Oh hey look, the second book of my contemporary series, Love and the Laws of Motion, is on sale for $1.99 right now. Astrophysicist and a computer hacker with a heart of gold, set in Brooklyn, if that's your thing. https://www.amazon.com/Love-Laws-Motion-Romano-Sisters-ebook/dp/B07NWL18VP?ref_=ast_author_dp

I'm looking for Hungarians posting in #Hungarian to follow. I'm learning the language and I'm finding it's really helpful to expose myself to it as much as possible. Any reccs?

There's nothing worse than your kid being sick when they're away from home.

Two emails from Twitter yesterday. Branding fail.

@npub1vrd…5cax A couple of months ago I got absolutely walloped with a brutal sinus infection. I kept testing and that's all it was, but I haven't really been sick in three years, so it hit me hard.
