Well, I beat the odds. I am triple immunized, with my booster being less than a month ago. Made it through my recent Mexico trip and had to test the second last day there. All clear. Got dinged for another test here in Canada before I left the airport.....got the results Wednesday that all was good. But as I went to work Wednesday, I was feeling pretty tired. Of course, I had awoken at 3:30 aam and did not get back to sleep, so I wrote it off to that. Besides, I was tottally alone in the building, and also locked the door so I didn't get any visitors. There is the Omnicron running rampant after all.
Wednesday night I started having more symptoms, so went for a test along with the wife Thursday morning. The lineups are very long these days, so we got there early. Then we had to isolate, although my life is pretty much that way anyway. We did have family over for Christmas on Monday though. That was acceptable because we were both double vaccinated, and had no symptoms. Tests came back today. Wife is negative. I am positive. It basically is like the dreaded man-cold. If I could ditch the sore throat I wouldn't mind it nearly so much. The extended family are showing no symptoms either, which should materialize by now or in the next few days. Took a walk out to the shed yesterday in the -33 weather. While the nice thick air felt good, the numbness of the extremities did not. Luckily it was just for 10 minutes. Got to try out my new Manitobah Mukluks. Comfortable and warm, even if I didn't bother putting socks on. They say everyone will catch this one. Here is is hoping you all have less symptoms than me, and get over it in a few days, or not even know you caught it at all. Happy New years to all and stay safe, but keep on living.

Yep, and I won't have to pay for a PCR test to return if I was freshly off a case of Covid It has pissed off the wife as the test costs $130 Cdn. I told her I would trade if I could.
Temp jumped up from normal to 100.8, and now I have chills. Don't care about that stuff, I need this sore throat gone. I coud stand to lose another 20 pounds if it could be done safely. Then another 20 after that.

Get well soon, Rob!
Sorry to hear you are unwell, Rob. Get well soon!
To all the vaxxed, boosted and unvaxxed alike, please, please seriously consider reading Robert Kennedy's book 'The Real Anthony Fauci', ISBN 978 1 5107 6680 8 for the hard copy, ISBN 978-1-5107-6681-5 for the e-book. Agree with him or not, this is one of the most comprehensively researched and referenced books I've ever read. Mike

Don't care much about who says what about who.......
With the web we are bombarded by misinformation..... beleive what you want...
Sorry to hear you got the bug Rob....let us know how long you are in the dump!!! Wife and I had our 3 shots plus the senior flu shots....so far so good......my only visitor is Grant....... and the occasional grocery runs in Rockland...... we restocked the pantry with non perishable goodies, freezer is full and lots of firewood on hand..... so is the wine cellar!!! So far Winter in Ottawa has been late in starting, mild with little snow but more to come. Fly low, stay below the radar and don't visit Quebec......... Shitty way to start the New Year but hoping it will end better......... Spending quality time in the barn with Grant cleaning up the shelves from old junk to make room for new stuff...... Cheers

Found an old expired bottle of Buckleys tonight. Wife demanded I have two spoon-fulls....she wasn't watching so I had 3/4 of a spoon. That stuff tastes like sh*t but I feel like a new man. I am actually able to talk with a slight volume, and might even be able to sleep tonight.

I think I can safely say it is just about over. The sore throat has reduced to the point I ate a couple grilled cheese for breakfast, although that was with the help of a few throat lozenges. However, the wife was starting to feel symptoms yesterday and got worse this morning so headed into town for another test. She is now in bed so I guess I can return all of the kindness and caring she showed me this past 5 days. I actually like to overdue it, in the hopes that next time she feels she has to do the same. As I fluffed up her pillows, she kicked me out. Methinks the old buckleys may have to come out if her attitude doesn't change towards the positive. But seriously though, I hope hers is even less than my experience was.
