I’ve been sick for over a week with this horrible cold. I’ve stayed in completely so I wasn’t coming into contact with anyone (for both their and my protection).

Tonight I was going to get a carry-out meal from KP South Clubhouse but decided that it wasn’t worth the risk of spreading my cold to someone or contracting something in my weakened condition. I went on-line and ordered an Asian dinner from China 1 in Apollo Beach to be delivered by Door Dash. (Everything was paid for on line, including the tip.)

Yes, it cost me considerably more, but it’s worth it to be safe. I put instructions on my order that the doorbell was to be rung, my meal placed by the door, and I’d come out and get it. There was no close contact with the delivery person. We all need to start thinking of protecting ourselves and others. When you’re sick, it doesn’t take much to plan ahead and and avoid contact with others.

Living in a senior community it’s even more important that we are pro-active.
