the positive result came in the morning, and I was informed that I would be contacted.  After a few hours of that I decided to cut the waiting and call my doctor.  Unavailable and unresponsive until now.  Then I called the coviv emergency number.  That’s when I was told that I had a few more hours to get the paxlovid and they’ll call.  

so i sit by the phone, remembering when i was afraid it was too late to get a date, and what luck that i have friends.
