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! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
StephanieL Posted March 9 Share Posted March 9 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. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

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.... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

StephanieL Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Maybe it's this? 😡 Tires still have not come in. I checked at 4:30 and the guy said his computer was still saying "Same Day delivery". Oh well. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
