MIQ: Day 11

It’s Thursday morning and I’ve woken early 5am. Disappointed with how the past 48hrs has gone I need to find my mojo and make the most of my ‘freedom’ which I expect will only last until late tomorrow morning. At that time on Friday I will be given my Day 12 COVID test and the rules say that you must not leave your room from that time onwards until I am cleared to leave on Sunday afternoon to avoid cross contamination with newbies at the facility. It is what it is, but does make yesterday’s farce all the more annoying.

I had a nice chat with Rob on the phone this morning while still in bed and we planned what the pickup on Sunday would look like. I’m so looking forward to being home.

I clean myself up and breakfast is waiting for me when done. It’s muesli and fruit and morning tea consists of an apple banana and a pastry.

The menu for lunch and dinner is here too. I’m having buttermilk fried chicken, with mash, gravy and salad for lunch and dinner consists of panned fried market fish and salad. I’m worried because I generally think it was the same fish dinner that made me crook on Sunday night…what to do what to do?

I’m due my normal health check this morning and/or wellbeing check but I’m thinking some people may be a bit gun shy towards me now. I made my complaint to MBIE last night but this morning I sent another email to the person in charge here telling him that his response only “noted my concerns” but did not actually offer any explanation as to what went wrong regarding both the failings of the health team and the lack of communication from the wellbeing team. I told him I was due the courtesy of an explanation.

On a more positive note the first session on today’s exercise schedule is 10.40am for an hour. I’ve just got to keep looking for these positives…
