Mostly Mundane

We have been deeply involved in mundane activities. Such as yesterday we went to see the plastic surgeon who stands in as our dermatologist and had some "spots" attended to. We hope they do not amount to anything but since they have amounted to something in the past we cannot assume without checking. This trip I have three biopsy locations and two freeze spots and Butch has one biopsy location. So now we wait to not get a call from Dr. Poag's office. If we do not get a call we know the spots didn't amount to anything. We should know by next Wednesday.

And this is news from Hidalgo County Texas where we reside in the winter months. It seems they have had a big uptick in Covid cases and wearing a mask has fallen out of favor. So they are appealing to local businesses to get the ball rolling once again on the wearing of masks.

Along this same vein, my Grand-nephew Devon went to visit a friend whose father had been exposed to Covid but had tested negative. The next day after Devon's visit the person who had tested negative became sick and has Covid. So now Devon is on 14 days of isolation.

This Covid business is far from over and in fact, may be just starting to get a foothold in our area.

Remain vigilant.

We just returned from the grocery store. Not everyone is wearing a mask and some who do, do not have them on properly. They need to be over your nose as well as your mouth. There were two elderly women by the door who were enjoying a nice long visit. Neither had masks on. It may need to get worse before it gets better right here in Iowa too.
