the q's are common words

The thing I like best about babble for me is the ability to revel in small victories whether they are mine or someone thousands of miles away. It makes difficult times better and good times more fun.
7:13 am
dan2bit
jmc totally agree. also right column done!
7:15 am
jmcnrick
way to go! (and you aren't even thousands of miles away)

Minveryork
I am doing well. Tomorrow is my last day of quarantine! I am going bonkers being cooped up inside my apartment.

Oh, I know what you mean. We were quarantined after Christmas Eve for 2 weeks. I was nearly bonkers too by the end of it (DH wasn’t talking much)
10:38 pm
Minveryork
I did not have to quarantine for 2 weeks thank goodness!

Nef
How long is yours?
10:40 pm
Minveryork
My supervisor at work told me to quarantine for 10 days.
10:42 pm
Minveryork
I think because my quarantine was due to EXPOSURE was the reason I only had to do it for 10 ten. Others who GOT Covid had to quarantine for 14 days. I did not have virus.
