I'm getting windows and maybe house siding today (finally! the hail storm was last autumn but due to supply issues it took months to get the windows). I'm hoping the electricity won't have to go off, I'm not sure how they put siding on the side of the house with all the electric box and phone box etc. The guys doing the work said none of the windows had been properly taped off. I'm not sure how windows are installed, but I can easily believe they weren't done right. I've read many times that manufactured homes have better quality control, but this house must have been from a really shoddy manufacturer.
I imagined everything would be done via outside access but the men are tromping in and out of the house. It is too early for me, I set my alarm for an hour early but should have got up even earlier.
Yesterday I went to my first crowd event (a "home show") since the start of the pandemic. The venue website said masks would be required, but very few people wore masks, there was absolutely no enforcement at all. I wore a mask and was only there for a couple hours. But, I don't know, if we are all going to get omicron I guess it might as well be now as later -- assuming I will be okay and having low hopes for an omicron specific vaccine showing up soon. My ex-manager got omicron last month, both he and his wife, he has a lot of health issues and his wife was recuperating from surgery. They were both okay after it, so that gives me a lot of hope that omicron really is milder. But so many people are still dying and I don't know why. Also a younger coworker and his wife had omicron last month and were okay after several days. Anyway, I'm trying to encourage myself not to worry. The doctor's office had told me that when they get a call from someone that caught covid, they recommend for them to take vitamin C and D. I already take vitamin D, and I bought a jar of Vitamin C gummies last week to have on hand just in case. About 15 years ago I caught measles (no idea why, I'd had both types as a child) and I spent the whole winter after it catching cold after cold after cold, and having a very terrible case of each one. Later learned that measles wipes out all the immune memory cells. But, that awful winter left me with a huge fear of colds and a miserable awareness of the difference in having a cold on top of prior immune exposure, versus having one without immune memories to help. I'm so glad we have the covid vaccines so that when i eventually catch covid my immune system will have some "memories".
