As CeCe Peniston has so aptly stated: “Finally, it’s happened to me.”

But for me it was not about meeting “Mr. Right.” Rather, it was an intruder getting in the house. I held off for as long as I could.

This could only last for so long with something as insidious as COVID. At 0503 am Friday morning (Dec. 23) my official PCR result came in.

The test was on the 21st at 16:16. Just a couple weeks ago, test results always came back within 8 hours. Usually, 4-6 for me.

At least half the Chinese populace must be sick now. But we still don’t know anyone who’s had to go to the hospital (although Serena went there to pick up some meds which don’t seem to have helped stop her cough at all).

Runny nose, slightly sore throat, 25% energy loss (maybe more energy today). I don’t have it bad. I only pray the elders, especially those in rural areas who are unvaccinated (Serena’s grandmother) remain safe. I hope if they get sick it’s not worse than the flu for them.

Meanwhile, it will be a COVID Christmas here. Here’s to hoping we can get back to Disneyland Christmas as soon as possible.

Merry Christmas & Happy Hanukkah to all & may “God bless us, everyone!”
