Today I finally got out of our condo after self-quarantining for 12 days. I had two reasons to self-quarantine at home: Firstly I took my 2nd dose of AZ on 4th August. It typically takes 2 weeks after vaccination for the body to build protection (immunity) against the virus that causes COVID-19. That means it…

Random Updates
Sorry for the lack of updates. As usual, life without Maria around helping me has been tough. Ever since I accepted a job offer to work from home, I have even lesser time on hand to update my blogs. I only have 2 hours each night to do my writing and assignments. I still can’t…
