Poll: Rep Retirement Lodge 204: Covid 19

[Scarlet]

Posted in the Covefe thread, but figured I'll share here. My hairdresser, who did my hair Saturday, tested positive on Tuesday. She's fine and asymptomatic. I found out last night. Going for a test today at 3:00pm. Which in and of itself was a hassle but thankfully I got one. Thing happy thoughts for me. I feel OK. I've been a teeny bit congested the past few days, but that could easily be because it's cold in my place. It's nothing different than what I've been feeling off and on for the past few months. I'm just glad I got this call before I went to see my mom on Saturday.

What's ironic is that I left my longtime hairdresser back in June because I felt unsafe in their salon.

What's so frustrating is that you can be safe, smart and thoughtful about it and still contract it.

Hope you have a negative result!!!

I hate you.

tell me, is your condo in an apartment style building, or, like, one floor of a three family home? Where was it?

It's a garden style - so like an apartment building, not one chunk of a multi-family house. It's in Dracut, right on the Lowell line.

We accepted an offer over asking last night. Woo!

My wife just left the house to go get tested. She works in a school, and one of the teachers with whom she has close contact just tested positive. Honestly, this might be the perfect time for her to test positive, if she does have it, because of the shortened holiday week coming, and she can still work from home, if needed. Since I work from home and am a veritable hermit these days, I’m not worried about testing positive. Of course, this all assumes/hopes for a mild case of symptoms.

Interesting. My condo is apartment/garden style as well. When I asked my realtor for my keys back, we talked briefly and she said she spoke with a few other realtors who trying to sell similar types of condos in my area and she said homes are going well, as are townhouses, but condos like mine have been more difficult what with the common areas like lobbies, hallways and elevators. Good to know there could be a market for my type of place. Seems like yet another instance of my realtors not doing their job.

My hairdresser called me to apologize profusely and said my next cut and color is on the house. Least she could do.

No idea where you are, but the market is different between near-Boston suburbs and outside the 95 belt. There's zero low-cost stock around Lowell, so people just pounce on any listing, and it's mostly investors looking for rental units.

My work has 4 out for quarantine. They had roommates that tested positive. Masks are now required ALL the time within the building. Before, you had to have them on when interacting with people, and that was it. My building (2 people who didn't really interact, read: definition of close contact) didn't require them before. They do now. I don't mind it, really. A hassle? Sure. Poutrage? Nah. I'd rather be bothered than dead.

Stopped into a local brewery for my member's bottles pickup (free with membership). SD'd within the place, but it was full to allowed capacity. Had no interest in staying for one.

Oh, and very happy hockey table today. My building actually got the radio signal for the game this afternoon.

Put an offer in on a house today. Sellers are out of town until Tuesday and aren’t reviewing until then. We know of at least one offer other than ours, and it just came on the market today. Open houses tomorrow and Sunday, probably going to be a lot of offers by the time they get back. Place is awesome and will go fast and for well above asking.

Best of luck, man. Gonna be a rough go in this market, locally.

Place is in Saint Paul, so it isn’t quite as nuts. Still pretty cutthroat though.

*gasp* you might become an East Sider?! I don't even know you anymore.

Yep, even though it would be the same side of the river I’m on now. West Side neighborhood.

We have a place we can hang for a few months if this doesn’t work out, so we won’t end up homeless during a pandemic. If we lose out on this we’ll probably back off and focus on getting moved there.

Moving, even if only apt to apt (which I have done multiple times) is a big thing. I can't even fathom buying a house.

We’d love to move just once, but we’re not willing to wind up settling on a place we’re not in love with to do it. We’ve toured seven houses now, (no open houses, because duh) and this one house is just perfect. Walked in the door and it felt like home right off the bat. For that we’ll throw some money around. If it doesn’t work, ah well we’ll just wait for the next time we get that feeling.

Agreed on feeling like home. My current place (13? years now) I walked in, a couple of pine trees in front of the balcony for privacy, vaulted ceilings, quiet (very quiet) neighborhood, train tracks nearby (grew up next to tracks). Yep, home. I actually got goosebumps.
