Got an email from mom’s facility. A fully vaxxed staff member tested positive.
Got a phone call from our aide. Her fully vaxxed daughter and SIL tested positive (she hasn’t seen them since Christimas so unlike to have been exposed that way).
BUT. Her majority-time client (21 hrs/week), fully vaxxed, tested positive today. She tested negative, but she’s deifnietly been exposed. Feels fine so far.
So she won’t be seeing the hubster this week. But now I’m concerned about my brother. She’s planning not to stay at the apartment during the week, as she usually does on weekdays when she isn’t working or running errands.
I offered to do things for my brother this week in her stead (fix meals, shop, test his blood sugar, fill his pill minder, run his laundry…).

I’ll probably fix broccoli-cheese soup from that big bag of florets they sell at Costco, and bring him a couple of servings.

I feel bad that our aide–who’s being responsible about her exposure to covid–is missing income this week. So I’m paying her for “sick days” (well, hours) for us. I don’t know if anyone else is doing it–she was surprised so I don’t think so.
