fauxkloreThe Aftermath: The day I took the bus from Seward to Denali, I was feeling a bit sniffly. I was assuming it was allergies because it was still springtime (i.e. tree sex season) in Alaska. My symptoms were pretty much insignificant in terms of not interfering with my energy level and I’d been masking (with a KN-95 mask) everywhere I went. So I didn't think much of it, but I was continuing to have mild cold symptoms when I got home. So I dragged out one of the home COVID tests - and, damn, I had an unwelcome souvenir of Alaska.
As I said, I didn’t feel particularly sick, but it did put a damper on my plans. Missing the Circumnavigators’ Club Happy Hour was not a big deal. But the gentleman with whom I conducted the world’s longest running brief meaningless fling was scheduled to visit. Obviously, that had to get canceled. Sigh.
By the way, I tested negative yesterday, so all is well, other than my annoyance.
HVAC Fiasco: A few days after I got home, I got a call from the manager of my condo complex. My downstairs neighbor had water leaking into her unit. He looked at my AC unit and saw water. The bottom line is that I ended up having to get the whole AC system replaced. While I had the money, there are many other things I would rather have spent this on. And, of course, I will at some point probably have to deal with an insurance claim for whatever damage there was to her hardwood flooring.
They had to cut into the wall to install the AC unit. I have someone coming tomorrow to fix the drywall and paint. The bigger thing is that now I am paranoid about things that can happen when I am out of town.
