So Mr P tested positive for covid today, but via some miracle or misadventure all the rest of us have tested negative. Thank goodness, as Miniest was at a party earlier and if sheād tested positive Iād have had to contact the parents š¬Now he is quarantined in his room moaning and demanding things lol.

Oh thatās no fun ā poor thing šš·
I remember a couple of months back when my partner had covid, it was a logistical nightmare.
She got the bedroom, I got the living room and slept on the couch.
We both wore masks if we had to be in the same room for any reason.
And then one day I gave her a bowl of soup and she managed to spill it all over the bed. (Thank heaven for mattress protectors!)
Making the bed while wearing gloves and a mask is not an experience Iām keen to repeat anytime soon!
The good news is she started getting better after a week or so. And had completely recovered after a month.
She first noticed her sense of smell was returning while walking past some smokers in front of Woolies.
āDo you smell that? Wait ā I can smell that! I can smell the smokers!ā I donāt think Iāve ever seen a nonsmoker so overjoyed at the smell of cigarette smoke! š
Anyway wishing Mr Peeler a speedy recovery. Yeah, itāll be tough, but hopefully heāll be feeling better in a week or two. Take care š

Thankyou for your kind thoughts š Itās awkward here as heās walking through the lounge to use the bathroom frequently enough for me to be concerned about mine and the childrenās health. So I hunted up my familyās old chamber pot (mum called it āthe gazunderā because it gazunder the bed) and gave it to him to use. But, like all diehard smokers, he still goes out to smoke š

My partner seriously freaked out when she lost her sense of taste and smell. But thankfully it returned (allbeit slowly) over the following weeks.
