Chemguy has a covid test booked for a sore throat. I'm curious about procedure if he has strep, does he then have to go get tested after negative covid test or do the prep a strep sample too based on the symptoms?
Healthcare system is a mess, getting into our doctor or even a nurse there takes about a month. We'll pay at a pharmacy if he needs it, pretty sure pur insurance will reimburse for tgat and if not it's worth it to get him meds quickly. I think the pharmacist can prescribe the antibiotics too.
 
Good morning! The coffee cart is up and running, so gather round. For medical tests and such in a stressful time, for safe travels, and for other topics that come up, let us find understanding, support and community, through the miracle of caffeine.

There are some poles that state nothing by the government of their party can be in err or broken ... and the other side attempts to destroy that ... a sort of dystopian perspective that some can not see by ... Çi ... as the yah-yahs' indicate ... yes that is what's observed ... polity at its finest is when mean and centered ... medis in al ... thus improper medicine ... cause of our lack of knowledge about the infinite dispersal ... a spread of data? Ground of being ... an extract ...

One must gather something from what's out there ... beyond*ness? Absence does something for ide ... and for today I can retain only so much of what some call a waste in time fertility of space time? Many neuropsycho's call this abstract space a mysterious place of pondering like Jesus' garden of essential oils ... chemically it is astounding what is in some of these vegetables ... things are concocted in the core of those trees ... like magi ... kings, etc. despise such things ... to the extend of red faces! Thus red queens ... and other blanched ... stasis?

How well does data and information carry unconsciously? We are yet unaware until what goes round comes around ... circular logic making turns about the straight line ... simulating a Queue ... or that Greek finis ND ... Φ neigh ... generating an extensive code for things that will pass dark and unseen!

Di Vinci may have had a hand in the operation ... weird creations for that tie ... didn't augur well ... but gave the cognate of a meme pump ... osmosis!

Midnight Beauty ... Son!

Unraveled ... ever get that sense of being strung out ... or maybe even strung along ... gnoshite (part of denied Gnosticism which is an etude of the vast unknown ... forbidden by institutions in criminalized law ... I hear som legalists on CNN stating that law should be decriminalized ... perhaps ejecting the criminal element in law making for self-improvement of their private portions ... eliminating Charon! Another moon thing ...

Some people do not believe mindlessness can exist!

Yet in an outburst of gunfire a 3 year old was denied the secular life in the US last night!

Can this be explained reasonably or only in exuberant irrationality as one freed of wits and clues? Dissociative personality disorder in that mystic item called psyche ... much denied because of intelligence is vastly disliked!

Imagine where we could put such conspiracies ... an abstract! Imagine a room for confined th' oughts ... as thoughts in some domains are considered nothing ... when sharpened can they whet love? The complex brews ...
 
*sigh* Currently have 2 medical appointments up in the air now, until Chemguy knows his COVID tests. Phototherapy actually has multiple sore throat cancellations, at least one of which was COVID :cry: I also need to get bloodwork done soon, needed for a series of appointments. Less of a rush but really not good if there's a positive result. I think it's unlikely as Chemguy's exposure to others is minimual, but then the same is true for where he would have picked up anything contagious.
He doesn't think it's strep, but doesn't ever remember having it before either.
I remember having it multiple times a year as a kid. I think he would say his throat is worse than what I'm hearing, but who knows if he just doesn't get bad symptoms?

My sister is feeling a lot of stress at work. Coworker just went on stress leave due to COVID related stress. So my sister is having to pick up some of that slack and also fix some things that were dropped before the stress leave started. She moved recently, so the oldest is in kindergarten and the youngest in daycare, instead of using her friend for childcare like she as done for a few years, meaning less flexibility in terms of not being home.
She asked me to babysit, and she understands my concerns with the current situation. She won't have me do a daycare pickup (current outbreak there), it's just for the oldest to be there when he gets off the bus until someone is home, she said we can just play outside or in the garage if the weather isn't great and I can ask him to keep his mask on (needed on the bus anyway). She's also going to check with neighbours but can't do that tonight and I think he stress is high so she feels better at least having a possibility set up - assuming I don't end up having to isolate!

Neither of us like quinoa. Barley is used frequently - regular and pearl.

I enjoy it. I often make a dish with it in the fall. Cooked with apple juice, add chopped apples, cranberries and then a honey dijon mustard 'dressing' that I quickly mix together and add for extra flavor. Is a nice side for Thanksgiving if it's just the 2 of us, or an option to bring that doesn't need heating.
What do you do with barley? I don't remember having it in anything other than soup.
 
Good morning! Saturday has happened! Let us rejoice with hot beverages!
Side note: I've only ever had barley in soup. I've only ever had quinoa on salads. I have no idea what either would taste like on its own.

Sort of the like or dislike of cream of wheat (or the likes) things without much taste ... but the texture really turns many off! Then God gave the poor chap teeth and the sol none! Thus isolated solemnity ... experienced when passing through a great abyss ... stated by some to be a void?

As metaphor is that annular ... part of the go round? Expect lumps ... sometimes hollo ... like nothing there! Incarnate image that one must make something of, at, to, or pass through it?

Is life the land of illusion, or just delusion about vapors and phlegm ... modes of tackiness? Sanguine is bloody well ...
 
Ocer 48 hours, no results yet. I have an appointment this afternoon so figers crossed I can go!
 
Appointment rebooked, annoyed, Chemguys symptoms are gone now. I wonder how much this affects other lab results right now.
 
Wow. That's what it was like in Ontario a year ago. I think my son got his (negative) result back in under 24 hours when he was sick a few weeks ago.

Grass is cut and I've done some writing today. Ballot is ready to be mailed. Guess I've done my thing for today.

Cases are ridiculously high right now. With about 1500 cases a day and over 10% positivity rate. Doctors kerp saying, healthcare system is collapsing.

Your dish sounds tempting, I'll probably try it sometime. I put barley in stews, casseroles and use it as a substitute for rice and other starchy items.
 
Small towns in SK are famous for their community grapevines. Today it told me that my daughter is sick and people are guessing Covid. She isn't vaccinated. She isn't answering her phone or a text message either. Not that that means anything - she tends to enjoy ignoring me! Fortunately, our son decided not to go to visit her yesterday for reasons of his own . Now he won't go until we hear confirmation that she is ok.
 
Ugh, very annoyed. I asked on facebook and anyone there who had a test got it back uner 48 hours. One person mentioned some people she knows took 3-4 days, but all first hand info is short. One person it took 12 hours. Considering it doesn't affect most household members right now it would be nice if they prioritized those where medically it's important to know followed by households where close contacts are impacted.
 
Good morning! As we deal with waiting for test results for family who are not responding, for all sorts of other things, let us gather round the coffee cart for support and hot beverages.
