And what I have to report is mostly positive.
My precautions: eating outdoor or in my room. I masked up going inside and on the exercise bike (35 minutes…kind of a small but nice air conditioned room) and I did some rehab in my room and walked for 5-6 minutes.
Hampton Inn: Muskogee. They had breakfast but provided gloves and masks; I had my own mask. I also took my food to my own room.
When I checked in; the receptionist said I didn’t have to wear a mask. I told her I was ok; I wanted too, so she offered to pull her mask up. We chatted a bit; she is vaccinated and wonders why so many are resistant to it.
Earlier, I stopped at a Kum-and-go to get some dinner: I got juice, yogurt (and bought some Naproxen as I was too lazy to go into my suitcase). I went to an outdoor table to eat it (along with dates and protein bars). A young woman saw me and wiped my table down without my asking!
Back to the Hampton Inn: when I was working out; one other guy was on the elliptical. He left. Another started to come in and asked if I were ok; I said “sure.” Of course, I had on a mask..no big deal.
There are 7 hours left on this trip, but so far, well, only a few are masked up but most everyone has been polite.
Aches/pains: shoulder was mostly ok last night. A few glute tingles. I’ll stretch before I get on the road and again when I arrive in Austin.
