Blog Thread 5: A New Beginning
LeeC:
Yeah, when I moved here I noticed people drive like assholes here. My wife told me they're called Massholes. That isn't to say we didn't have asshole drivers back in the DC area, but the frequent impatience and aggressive driving is rather surprising.
Farideh:
Christchurch, New Zealand as a city is pretty bad with aggressive drivers as well. One of the worst in the country (a dubious honor indeed). Seems to have gotten worse since the earthquakes 10 years ago, unsurprisingly.
Is it cold in here?:
Just got back home from visiting a relative in a red state. 38% vaccination and almost no masks.
A home antigen test was negative.
Gnabberwocky:
That's...I hesitate to say good, but it's the best it could be given the circumstances.
Is it cold in here?:
Speaking of COVID, I'm feeling a touch pleased with myself.
A friend's dream vacation to Spain had to be postponed for the pandemic but after a long time she and her new boyfriend made it there. They can't come back for two weeks because he tested positive. They're in sparkling isolation. She did not have an additional two weeks of prescriptions. She's diabetic. She was having a real problem getting hold of a doctor. The embassy wouldn't even talk to her. She was working up to a plan B of making such a stink that the police would get involved.
These days, you imagine the ideal solution to something and Google it. I searched for English-speaking telemedicine Spain. I sent her a couple of the results. She checked. One of them especially does prescriptions.
Not out of the woods yet, because the prescriptions have to be transported to the sparkling isolation hotel somehow, but way better than it was.
