My best Christmas gift ever?

I wasn’t expecting any gifts this year. But I did get one gift and it was a good one. Probably my best Christmas gift ever.

My health.

It has now been at least 10 days since the exposure that resulted in the shocking positive COVID-19 test. I think that means that I am no longer infectious, if I ever was. And that I am unlikely to get sick.

I feel like I have dodged a bullet. Better yet, this probably means that I have some immunity to COVID-19. I won’t go crazy now and start kissing people in the ICU but I think the time between now and whenever I get vaccinated will be relatively stress-free.

I will retest in a couple of days. At this point I am really hoping for a positive result. Because if it is negative then the possibility of a false positive remains.

The photo is my flowering hibiscus. The red and green make it an appropriate Christmas photo. And a cheerful one, to match my mood. But I was also amazed at the clarity. This was taken at dusk, in low light.
