Despite my continued social distancing and mask-wearing-in-public, I have somehow managed to come down with pneumonia. Again. Second time within the last twelve months…and it sucks. At least this time the symptoms were much less severe and there wasn't any pain, unlike the bout last spring that landed me in the hospital for four days.
Still, it's not fun. Thanks to a regimen of modern pharmaceuticals and a knowlegeable (and I must say, cute, gay) doctor at urgent care earlier this week, I do seem to be on the mend. Now before you scold me for not getting the vaccine this year, I will accept full responsibility for that. With everything else that's been going on, it completely slipped under my radar and I going forward I will not make that mistake again.
I'm cleared to return to work Monday if symptoms continue to improve. Not looking forward to that, but thankfully next week is my two-days-in-the-office with the other three working from home.
Ouch! Now we know what kept you away.

On the bright side and by what you've posted above, you've outdone yourself today. Excellent!
Take good care,
Laurent
I'm very glad you're getting better!
Mending is always good!
Mark, the silence was deafening.

were concerned. Take care and remember
