So my wife Christine works at a Retirement Home in the area. She loves it. I love that she loves it. She loves that I love that she loves it. I lo…well you get the idea. It’s a really great fit for her.
Sadly, on occasion, bad things can happen at work that affects us at home. More specifically, one bad thing has happened. Christine called me from work on Tuesday (2 days ago), saying that her workplace was in an unconfirmed outbreak. She was taking as many precautions as possible, and despite being the receptionist, was pretty much running the show, as many of the managers were sick. The virus was very contagious however, and she eventually go it anyway. This meant that, the minute I stepped into my home, I was going to have to stay away from school for a few days. This was kind of a bummer, but hey, free day off, right?
I’m not sick yet. But here’s the worst of it. Well, that IS the worst of it. Christine has exhausted herself out, but I’ve got this creeping neurosis that, like attending Lepers on a Leper colony, it’s only a matter of time.
Scary. Hopefully I won’t get sick, but we’ll see.
As Tom Petty said,
Waaaaaiitin is the haaaardest part.
