Well just don't get close. Got home early Tuesday morning and felt a really bad cold come on about 4 hours later. Then proceeded to sleep about 20 to 22 hours per day up until yesterday. Went through all the stages of a really bad cold. Yesterday decided to do a Covid test and either someone on the plane or in Hawaii was kind enough to share . Feeling pretty good though, now.

Many thanks and appreciations go out to Cia for covering me for the last 2 weeks  It is nice to have her to take over in a pinch to help a team member out Make sure you all pass your thanks too, it meant 2 weeks away from me
