2. Merry Christmas!

Enjoy your solitude, and your supper and cobbler.

My friend invited me for paella on Christmas, her 2 nieces were driving up, another local friend was invited, so 5 ladies, vaxed and boosted. My friend hasn't been feeling well, had a PCR test that will give results on Monday. One of her neices was exposed, also took test that will be in Monday, so they're not coming even if my friend wasn't isolating.
So Christmas supper is cancelled.

My friend in NYC called me last night, similar story.
His son and new bride are visiting from Mexico, since 12/1. They were having symptoms last week, found out they were exposed, now isolating. Friend is too, but his Christmas is cancelled too. Their test results are due Monday too.
We'll spend some time together on the phone.

Now I'm scrambling to figure out what I'll eat for supper. I was really looking forward to that homemade paella. Oh well, another time.

But honestly, looking forward to the solitude. And the Christmas stollen I got from my favorite bakery.
