Plague Diary: In Which I Plan to Leave the House!

Tomorrow will be 14 days from my positive test. I have had almost no symptoms the entire time, and what symptoms I have had could plausibly be attributed to stress or allergies. But by every metric I have seen, I should be safe for public consumption tomorrow.

I plan to figure out where downtown Cleveland is, and drive there. Also, to go to Trader Joe's for some basics. (I am running out of Manchego cheese, for instance.) Maybe I will also try to figure out where Lake Eerie is. I'm told it's very big, so it shouldn't be hard to find.

If anyone has any opinions about things that are nice to see in Cleveland that don't involve going inside, do mention them in comments.

I am definitely getting cabin fever, at this point, despite how nice my little apartment is.

Yay! I don't know anything about Cleveland, but I'm happy that you're healthy. (How's the rest of your household, if you/they want to share?)

My family is fine, but has delayed taking the test until they are a full 10 days from exposure so as to avoid a false negative. They are planning on taking it Monday, I think. I worry about them, but the fact that they are symptom-free is very comforting.

David is a day behind R and me, because he saw you right before you left. So we could take the test today but David has to wait til tomorrow.

I guess we'd better try to get our act together to do it, because I think the new guidelines that MPH put together require it.

And yes, still fine as of right now, in terms of symptoms.

I am deeply unimpressed with the entire pandemic response, however. Nobody should have to do this.

Yay for lack of symptoms all around.

To find Lake Erie, go north until your hat floats IIRC.

Also, congrats on surviving even the cabin fever.

Yay for being out from under the shadow!

my brother said there are some nice trails along a canal near you. i know there is some public art but i don't recall what is where--google might say if that interests you. there is a nature center pretty much right between cleveland hts. and shaker hts. that has nice paths, if it's not too snowy there.
