Thank you! I'm so annoyed I caught it, although I'm not horribly surprised it was this week. I hardly slept four nights this past week (like maybe 1-2 hours of sleep a night), so I'm sure anything I was exposed to I would have caught. I guess the good thing about covid is it seemed to have fixed my inability to sleep, I've slept like a log the last two nights!
Thank you! I'm so annoyed I finally caught it, I was really hoping I would be one of those people who couldn't catch it!
Oh, good to know! Funny enough, my dinner the past two nights has had a sauce made of fresh lemon juice and honey!
Petals is the pool bar at Pop Century. And it has AMAZING frozen drinks. The Pina Colava is a Pina Colada with raspberry syrup. I always get a drink or 7 from there when I stay at Pop. The great thing is, they are open until like 11pm so I can swing by and get one to take to my room on the way back from a park.
Thank you!I’m so sorry you got COVID - it’s not fun at all! I’m happy you’re already beginning to feel better.
Haha, seriously!Also, BOO to your boss for coming in with COVID! It’s not as though testing is hard. Good grief.
Ohhh, good to know! I do love a frozen drink on a hot day in FL! May need to take a trip over there to try it out.
Thanks! Yeah, good to know what I have, although I wish it were something other than covid!I'm sorry to hear that you had Covid. But at least you now have a diagnosis.
I guess the silver lining is I'm not allowed to come into the office this week now, so it's like a free vacation!
Thank you! I had not heard they changed the quarantine, that's interesting, and seems a bit odd there's no isolation now. Good thing is my work is still operating under the old guidelines where I have to isolate for the first five days, so at least I can avoid the office this week!
Oh man what a bummer! My dad was the same way! I had it back in 2022 and gave it to my daughter, mom, and husband in that order. My dad and brother never got it despite being around all of us. In November my mom got it while we were in California for Thanksgiving, and THAT is when my dad finally got it! Oddly none of the rest of us got it despite all sharing a house and car the whole week! I was sick twice in Feb and my mom was convinced I had covid since I couldnt taste anything with both colds. I tested negative both times. I just always lose my taste when I'm sick so I never even gave it a second thought the first time I had it. I didn't realize it wasn't a common thing to lose sense of taste while sick lol.So it turns out that I have covidI seriously was starting to think I was immune to it since up until now I hadn't gotten it, and had been exposed (like super exposed) a few times
It is so weird how it spreads, like I shared a drink (and a room) with my mom the day before she came down with it, and I was fine! Got tested multiple times in the week following, both rapid and the pcr test, and it was always negative. I was convinced after that, that I would not get it since that was probably as exposed as I'd ever get!
Thank you! I'm feeling a lot better today, although oddly today my sense of smell stopped working even though overall I'm feeling better. It's so weird, I don't know what to think of it! I think that's the hardest thing about this for me, every day I wake up wondering what it's going to do to me today! Hopefully nothing, but who knows with this stupid virus.
(which honestly I’ve been considering, but I’m frankly terrified of the spiders they have down in FL!)
It really is, I cannot wait to go again in December! Totally agree about the pop-up stands, I don't understand why some don't open until so much later. I would totally spend more money if they were open when we were there in the early afternoon!
Ok, I know this is ridiculous, but one of my friends grew up in FL and she told me this story once about this massive spider, like the size of her hand, she saw crawling across the wall or her friends room and hiding behind a picture on the wall, and she immediately called her mom to pick her up since it was so big and scary, and that is ALL I can think of now about living in FL.
And I know there are spiders everywhere, I've had on multiple occasions have them fallen on me from the ceiling here (which is a GREAT way to test your heart btw), but for some odd reason in my mind all the spiders in FL are the size of my hand which for some reason is scarier than the clumsy spiders we have here. Imagineering! That would be amazing, total dream job, even though I know their base is out in CA!
That was really nice of the CM to make a fuss over your parents.The CM was awesome and said he was really impressed I had done that, and told us to hold on a second, he’d be right back. So he went over to this stand and pulled out another I’m Celebrating button and wrote on it “Galactic Superstar!” and then gave it to me. He then went back and got another one and wrote “Best Mom in the Galaxy!” and gave that one to my mom!
It was such a fun little interaction, he was so sweet! He even tried to convince me to get a job at Disney
Have you booked your trip yet? We are going back in December and we are really looking forward to it.
Isn't is beautiful? The tree was so stunning! Yeah, the line for the treats was a bit nuts, it didn't look too bad, but it took forever. They only had two CMs working at the gingerbread house, and we noticed usually only one was taking orders, so I guess that's why it took so long. Still glad we waited, the peppermint bark was really good, and I love the pin I got!
He was so awesome, such a nice guy!That was really nice of the CM to make a fuss over your parents.
Haha, see these don't bother me, I'm actually ok with like 99% of bugs, it's just spiders that I can't handle. It's so odd. Even when I was living down in St John, this massive bug got into our place, and I had no problem just scooping it up with my bare hands and putting it outside, but if that were a spider I would probably have had a heart attack! It's crazy how much I can't stand spiders.
Not yet. We're still working out what trips we want to take with the APs. I sadly realized that I will run out of vacation time if we take all the trips I had wanted, so we need to revise our plans a bit, but at least it's still looking like at least three trips a year!Have you booked your trip yet? We are going back in December and we are really looking forward to it.
