Just before 10 PM last night, I got a text message telling me that my COVID-19 test from YYZ had resulted. I logged in and got my second negative result. After deciding with Tull that it was easier to just sleep where we were, we proceeded to do just that. This morning, I woke up

I woke up around 730 this morning, delighted to be unwoken by either dogs or baby over the course of the night. However, an hour later, I was starving, and no breakfast was in sight. I waited until 900am to call the desk, only for no one to pick up. I kept calling until I

One of the first things I noticed about myself in the Los Angeles airport is that I have COVID-19 precaution fatigue. I was less obsessive about using hand sanitizer and paid less attention to what I touched. Part of that is because I spent last week being deliberate about everything I touched, all

I got up, ate, showered. I had a meeting, did some editing, ate lunch. I did more editing, chilled, ate dinner. I once more took up the mantle of John Watson, DIDN’T get eaten by a fez, and then prepared for my flight

Sara decided that yesterday was the day to replace all the lights, move and assemble all the furniture, and install upgrades to the smoke detectors and thermostats. Since Mike’s best friend from college helped him move and is still here, the guys got to work on all that. Quite correctly, in

We had a lazy start leaving Lake Havasu. Because of that, Sara started off driving and made it half way to our destination. We stopped at a gas station in California to switch, and, for the first time, everyone was wearing masks inside. (The price of gas was also ridiculous: over $4 a gallon!) When

Today was lovely; I slept in until 9AM EST and got to wake up to a meal and hot tea for the first day in over a week. (I know, #firstworldproblems.) The only issue overnight was that the rooms were really cold. (To clarify, Sara’s Aunt has a lovely house with an attached suite with
