Where has the weekend gone?

[hils]

Well, this weekend has been an experience.

Jacqui (my housemate) is sick with a nasty cough. We're 90% sure it's just a cold but because she went into her office building on Thursday to pick up some things she ordered a home covid test just to be sure. This means we are both now self-isolating until we get the results. Well, mostly. Apparently you have to mail the test back once you've done it which seems really stupid. So since I don't have any symptoms I said I'd pop it in a post box tomorrow. I'll of course wear a mask and avoid people which is what I do whenever I go out anyway.

But this means Jacqui can no longer go on her cottage trip. They were supposed to leave on Wednesday and we likely won't have the test results by then so she's cancelled it.

Overall she's fine apart from the cough. She doesn't have a fever or any of the other symptoms. We're just being cautious.

Yesterday we finished Lost Tomb 2 and omg the ending made me so mad.


I fucking knew they weren't going to wrap it up properly at the end! And what made it particularly frustrating is that the last two episodes had SO MUCH UNNECESSARY FILLER. So many shots of them trudging through the snow walking from one place to the next.

And it's annoying because for the most part it was a good show, but my memories of it are just going to be soured by the 'tune in next season' ending. There is no next season! The 'next season' is Reboot which, as the name suggests' reboots everything that came before it.

GDI I wasted 3 weeks watching those 40 episodes.

Next I am going to watch Sleuth of the Ming Dynasty which I have been assured has a proper ending

I really need a break from tomb raiding after that so I've agreed with madamoisellebon that we will finish Reboot together at the weekends and watch our other shows during the week.

This morning I watched Street Dance of China with the usual gang and then amedawg18 and I watched a TON of k-pop. It's fun because we both have different groups and artists that we like so when we get together we just share stuff and both of us get to experience new things. Today we ventured into some of the girl groups which was a lot of fun.

Back to work tomorrow but at least I'm off on Thursday and Friday. Not sure what we're going to do about mailing stuff since I'm not allowed to go to the post office while I'm self-isolating. Will need to chat with the boss and agree a plan.

Ughhhhh I hate it when shows end like that. That SUCKS, bb. Boooooooo. Glad the Kpop stuff could help cheer you.

Good luck with the isolation logistics. Yeesh. What a world.

I'm glad you're being cautious, but UGH, that really sucks. :(
