Here is today’s play-by-play:
5:55a – Start steaming routine
Last night’s sleep was extremely poor because I was so concerned about this morning’s test. If you recall, the last time I was here and took the test, later that evening I was taken back to the hospital because of the positive test result.
I was already awake when the alarm went off because I simply couldn’t sleep. Not to mention, the room was extremely cold because the window is broken and all the cold night air was rushing in.
Steam…done.

7:15a – NAT test – no oral swab today
The guy was a bit rough with the long Q-tip but I’ve done this so many times now that I’m a pro. It stung a bit but I didn’t resist.
7:42a – breakfast delivered (saved for lunch)
10:11a – Laundry in the tub! ?
Well this was a first!
And it was pretty interesting to do, friend! Now I can wear something other than my Soweto dress. ♥️
11:03a – Exercise Time
Broke out the good ‘ol walk away the pounds and Billy Blanks Tae-bo today! ??
Also, during the workout, one of the hazmats came to fix the broken window.
12:06p – Lunch time
After lunch, I showered and washed my hair, then went to relax.
Sometime after 1p – temperature ? fairy ??♀️
7:58p – Test Results

Test results are back: NEGATIVE! I get to stay in the hotel and I won’t be tested again until Day 13. ??
Unfortunately, Ada’s test came back positive again and she has to go back to the hospital. ?
I told her that I would continue to pray for her and send positive energy her way. ??
Now I can get a good night’s rest without having to worry about taking a test in the morning.
Off to sleep I go, friend.
‘Til tomorrow…
