Back At My Domicile On Christmas

Christmas Day 2021 Noon.

Landed at National Airport a little after noon today. And, I was back in the Asylum by 1:30. Where I am now “self-isolated”. Notice the phrase “highly recommend”. Also, notice that our esteemed medical staff who make up these rules has confused “isolation” and “quarantine”. I’ll cut them some slack on that. It’s a technicality. 

For Residential Living residents:
Should you stay overnight off-campus and should you dine with loved ones, whether you dine on campus in your apartment OR off campus in their homes OR at a restaurant, we highly recommend you self-isolate in your apartment for five (5) days.

This Xmas Eve/Xmas Day travel worked really well for me since I am not a fan of Xmas. Things I noticed along the way:

  • Family of 4 dressed in matching Xmas long johns. Nothing else. Just Xmas long johns.
  • First-class has better seat belts – United Boeing 787.
  • I love being on an airplane going anywhere even back to the asylum. 
  • Pentagon City Metro has brand spanking new escalators. 

Wonder what I will do for the next 5 days. I agree that I should not engage in any Asylum activities. I should not eat in the Asylum restaurants. Or drink in our saloon. And, I will avoid using the elevators for my own safety. But, I will leave my apartment to go to the trash room and laundry room. And to leave the building to go for a walk. Or whatever I want or need to do outside the building. All this assumes that I am symptom-free. 

Gratitude

Grateful to have made it back easily. Also, grateful that Santa left me lots of cookies.
