My sister is sick, and her symptoms are downright alarming, especially her saying she can't smell anything. She and her husband had Covid once, a couple of years back. Did a real number of them; it was weeks before they were functioning normally again. Although he's apparently recovered from whatever he had last week.
We were supposed to go over to her place and have Christmas with them today. Not sure how long that's going to be delayed. Although that in itself is not completely a bad thing, since mom's gift to him actually hasn't arrived yet, and now she's revealed she's gotten extra surprise gifts for us that haven't arrived yet either.
Also there was freezing rain this morning. I think it's above freezing right now, but apparently there's still a wintry mix going on. It's been good holidays for staying at home.
