My wife only had a fever. Weirdly she didn't test positive until after she had symptoms. She only tested because I got it afterwards. Kids both had it and were asymptomatic. Ironically I was the only one who had a booster in the last year and had the worst (though still mild) symptoms. 

My brother was the only vaccinated one in his family (I think two doses, but no booster available yet), and he had the worst symptoms. The doctor finally gave him remdesivir because he just wasn't getting better.  It was unfortunate because it only encouraged his spouse not to get vaccinated (apparently she's not anti-vax, but is vax-hesitant. But I'm pretty sure she's anti vax - her parents and siblings are).   

We are not so poorly here. Just flu-y. I'm hoping my ears clear up soon. My parent no longer has a fever, but is still worse off than I. Worse cough, sorer throat. But better today than yesterday, so I'll take that as a win!

I went to the DMV to get a learners permit this morning. That was the first annoyance: that although my UK license is perfectly OK for driving in the US (as long as I’m not a resident), it is not suff

My new cowboy boots hurt my feet. I know I have to go through a breaking-in phase, but in the meantime my left pinky toe is cursing at me non-stop.

The tires I needed to order came into my local Costco Tire Center on Tuesday, but no appointments to actually put them on were available until next Friday.  So I can only run short errands until then because I still have the spare on my car.  Waiting that long is a real pain, but I've been ripped off at other tire stores and at least I know Costco is honest and has reasonable prices.

Update: apparently the tires I ordered were "run flat" tires, meaning that they're designed to be OK at speeds up to 50 mph when you get a flat.  However, all 4 tires have to be this type--you can't have a mix.  The tire guys told me to order this type without knowing what I had on the front, so when I went to get them put on I was told that they weren't compatible with my not "run flat" front tires.  Cue a reorder and a refund of the now useless run flats.  With any luck, this will all get resolved by tomorrow.  Still driving on that spare....
