I panicked when the positive test came back. I immediately went to Instacart and had essentials delivered. I keep a pretty stocked pantry, but we are not pop drinkers (soda for those of you outside of Ohio) and I was worried about the sickies having food and medicine. So gingerale, chicken soup, extra bread for toast, and acetaminophen were ordered via Instacart and delivered within 2 hours.
I had a lot of what I needed for Christmas Eve and Christmas Day dinners, but there were some things that I wanted to buy the week of Christmas. And then there's the extra toothbrushes (because they will need to change those out) and baking items that I forgot I needed. I use Giant Eagle pick up during non-covid diagnosis, but it's really come in handy now. And Dear Giant Eagle, I have added to this pick up eleventy thousand times this week, so you are welcome for the 5 million dollars I'm spending.
I found the Peloton app during the quarantine of 2020, but I didn't want to pay to exercise (I do not have a Peloton tread or bike... but I'd love one). But a month after the new year, I realized I missed this app so much that I subscribed and have no regrets. After the Covid diagnosis, I don't want to leave the house to go to the gym, so I've been using my app even more to get the exercise I need.
Online Church
Yes, we are now back to not going to church (at least for the next couple of weeks). I am so glad for our local churches that post their masses on YouTube. If I can't be there, I'm blessed to at least be able to receive a spiritual communion and watch mass on TV.
Bible In A Year Podcast With Father Mike
I'm on day 355. This is not new. This podcast has been a blessing to me all year. But right now, I need it a bit more than ever. God's word soothes the soul.
