New Year : Covid scare

It is already the middle of January. 

One evening, I was dropped off at the subway by a co-worker. We both had masks on (But not N95 or something like that). I was grateful to have a ride! I was working after the Christmas holidays.

The following day, she texted me with news about her hubby tested positive for Covid. She got tested on Jan 2nd and got a positive result on Jan 3rd. It was already New Year's eve. So, we decided to keep ourselves at home for the New Year. 

Since my workplace is a dental office, I have to go to the office. To be on the safe side and to protect my family, I decided to get tested. I got both vaccines and the booster. 

That is when I realized we could get a PCR test faster if we were willing to pay. The testing centre is at the Eaton Center. But, they will test you if you don't have any symptoms. Since I did not have any symptoms, I got the test.

The result was negative. 

What a relief!.

How is your January shaping up?

October 2020

October is half way now. Thanksgiving is over.

The pandemic is not over yet. Toronto went back to Stage 2 after thanksgiving. I am trying to read more now a days. 

Reading a book in a week? It will be possible, if you get interesting books to read. I found I can keep on reading, if it is a thriller. 

Toronto public library has Libby app and I can have ebooks for free on my phone. Commute time can be utilized for reading. 

The first novel I got was "The Reckoning" by John Grisham. The story about a war veteran killing the local priest and not giving any motive.  When the story unfolded, we learn how a lie ruined the lives of the family members of the killer. I finished the book in a week time!.

The story takes us to war zones and the sufferings of prisoners of war under Japanese army during world war 2. Grisham is known for his legal suspense. This one is also not different. I will find some other thriller for next week. 

How you use your commuting time?
