Comfort Food

Maya left work early today feeling very ill and asked if she could come home. She tested negative twice for Covid today but has most of the symptoms and looked very puny when she arrived. Jeanine is the superior caregiver in such situations but she was fully occupied at work and had an evening meeting. I did my best to do the things she would do if she were here. I took Maya’s temperature (>100F) and administered Ibuprofen. I asked her if she wanted anything to drink or eat. She requested fruits and Gatorade, so I went to the market to retrieve those items, as well as a broccoli quiche which I thought she might enjoy. Mostly, I just let her rest and hope that she will feel better in the morning.
