The idea was to work here today so I could pick up my backup laptop and if I had time, pop the hood on the dead laptop to see if I could remedy a loose plug or something.

When I got here, I tried starting the dead laptop again, and it started up just fine, except for showing me an error report -- the one I shared in the prior post.  It had a problem waking up after going to sleep, it said.  OK ... I'm glad it finally woke up three days later!

Otherwise I've been working -- I should be able to quit work a couple hours early, and then I'll spend the night.  I had a date night with T last night, and he's taking a class tonight and over the weekend, so my previous thought that I'd spend the weekend at the house with him is obsolete.  I may as well stay here tonight and maybe tomorrow night, because T will be preoccupied with something else anyway.  At least here I can play with toys and make noise, and I even have a working Xbox 360 here if I want to play games.  I'm slowly bringing over my Xbox 360 games library, because I don't use a 360 at the house anymore.

Our maids have been furloughed for a while due to COVID-19 exposure ... so no help cleaning the house for a while ...

Cases are picking up again both locally and nationally.

My sister-in-law had invited us for Turkey Day, but I'm going to say no, because the latest CDC guidance says that people at high risk should celebrate the holidays within their own households this year.  I consider both T and myself to be high risk, although for different reasons.  But neither of us has ever been tested for COVID-19 infection or antibodies, for all we know we've already been exposed and are already immune, perhaps we were asymptomatic.  Who knows.  I'll let my sister-in-law know over the weekend.

I'm also delaying asking my fuckbuddies if they want to fill the empty slot on my dance card now that K is in Portland.  Not while local cases are on the rise.  A bunch of my coworkers have been sick lately, and I had a sore throat all week (it's gone, finally), so ... stuff is going around, whether it is COVID-19 or not, we're not isolating well enough around here right now.  It's time to pull back some more.

B is wanting to spend more time with us again, as his husband's departure nears.  We'll see how this goes, after over a year of rarely seeing him.  He'd made noises about possibly moving in with us ... maybe if we'd spent more time with him over the past 14 months it would be an easier "yes", but for now we're saying "let's spend more time together and see."

-----

I should have a call with K this weekend!  I'll see when he's got time to spare.  Last I checked they were still unpacking.
