DAY TWELVE QUARANTINE - AUCKLAND

 All going well I should get my 2nd Covid test result late today.

OMG it better be negative!

I'm having nightmares that it's POSITIVE, and I get taken to the Jet Park Isolation Facility for a further 2 weeks!

I have NO reason to think it will be positive of course, but with my luck lately?  

Yeah, NOTHING would surprise me.

So... today I shall get some walks in, look forward to shit food and literally hang out for those results to be slipped under me door.

These last few days are really DRAGGING.  I look at the post-it's on the wall and can't believe how slow it's going.  I keep double checking to make sure I've got it right.

While in here there is nothing to differentiate one day from the next.  Ya don't get a 'weekend'.  Or the 'start or end' of the week.  It's all just one day rolling into the next.  SLOWLY.  OMG so slowly.

ABOVE:  Taken while in Quarantine (Sydney),  22nd September. 

ABOVE:  Taken yesterday. 10th November.

I'm pretty sure I've lost a bit of weight.  It will be interesting to see how much once I get home.

I'm picking between 5-10 kilos.

That is probably the only really positive thing from this entire 9 weeks away.

ABOVE: This little bottle of wine got delivered last night.  It's from the Hotel.  The usual blurb came with it.... "Hope you have enjoyed your stay, please come and visit again".  

Like F*#K will I EVER come back here!

ABOVE:  I have a nice little stash of this stuff to take home for the kids.  Shame I threw out the first few days worth.  

Right, might as well get up and have a soak in the bath... not much else to do at this time of the day.

ONWARD...

Well I decided to defer the bath till just before bedtime, and opted for a shower instead.

Then at 9.30 I went down to the lobby walking area and I walked.

And stopped at 11.30.

I saw about 15 other walkers come and go in that time.  It felt great, but I've got freakin' sore toes now.

Time to chill out and then make my lunch.

TRACY:  Thanks for making me check my app:

ABOVE:  Not a bad effort!

Lunch was a ham/salami and salad wrap.  It was bloody yum.

Now?  Gunna continue watching videos/movies etc. 

I've started watching 'The Queens Gambit' on Netflix.  So far it's good!

Not sure if I will finish it while in here ... how many episodes are there?  Anyone know?

I have had another salad sandwich for my dinner... suits me.  I can go nuts on 'variety' once I get home.

At least my sandwich is totally edible and to my liking.

It's 6.15 and I might just go for another, shorter walk.  Cos I want to SLEEP tonight.

ABOVE:  There ya go, another 4,940 steps added, and another 3.78 kms.

That will do for the day I do believe.

Again, not that many people walking with me, which is kinda nice.  I don't have to play dodge with them.

Though there was one lady who arrived and started (and continued) to walk in the opposite direction to me, which I found damn annoying.  I wanted to say something to her, but held my tongue. I might not have been 'nice'.

And that is me for the day.

TWO MORE SLEEPS!  And then I'm freakin' out of here. 

No Covid test results under me door yet.  

Maybe because the tests were done in the mid-afternoon, they won't be ready until tomorrow?

Catch ya tomorrow.
