Sunday night Axel and I walked to the Covid testing clinic. It was by far the best time to do it, there was no lineup to go in and by the time we walked home the sun was starting to set and it was slightly less of a high-intensity laser. The air was still like trying to inhale through a wet sweat-sock, though.
Apparently they were out of the smaller sampling kits and so I got to experience the 4-inch right-past-the-sinuses-into-the-part-of-my-hindbrain-that-still-thinks-I'm-an-invertebrate-part-of-my-head test. A friend of mine once described it as, "I think I finally got that lobotomy I've been considering". So that was fun. No wait, the opposite of that.
Still, I got off easier than Axel. Not sure which one of us has had our nose broken more often, but theirs definitely came out bendier.
Yesterday I went to a neighbourhood rally to defund the police. We kept near the edge of the crowd and it was overall pretty low-key. Everybody kept their distance and the vast majority were wearing masks. There were cops there but they minded their business and didn't start anything.
Today I was just packing up to walk over to BC's place when Axel came into the room and announced that the Basement DJ has symptoms and went for testing this morning. So the whole house is back on lockdown until his test results come back. I wore a covering over my face and made a point of passing people at a distance both days, but this still worries me.
