the plague diaries: Day Four
Feb. 27th, 2024 06:29 pmSo I'm the one who's not contagious right? And I'm quarantining anyway, because virus in the house and the not-zero risk of being asymptomatic and still infectious.
So guess who's not here?
Housemate announced they had to send some mail out, so off they went. I did offer to do it for them. That was three-four hours ago, and they haven't returned yet.
Oh wait, maybe they went to the hospital. They did say they wanted to. If that's the case I probably won't see them until tomorrow.
---
Kitchen boxes are unpacked. Some stuff I just said fuck it and threw it back into a box because what am I going to do with two coffee makers or six corkscrews? I'll let the housemate go through it and see if they need to take any of it with them, and then maybe whoever moves into the basement can probably use some of it. Whatever is left will go to my sister's shelter. They take donations of household items for their clients when they manage to get them permanent housing.
For my next trick, watching youtube videos about how to change the bulbs on potlights until I find somebody who is showing my specific model. It could be that the person who installed it just screwed it too tight to loosen - we had one light where we finally just had to smash the cover to get into it. But I want to be a lot more confident that's the actual problem before I take a pair of pliers to it.
Said pot-light is in my toilet and it's the only light in there so it's peeing in the dark until I figure it out. The bulb did last over 10 years in the first place.

[ETA] They did in fact go to the hospital. Kinda surprised they were able to get admitted, but maybe the doctors want to keep them for observation for a while.
