Live and kill others

Talking about bad mood my love?
Try this in for size and maybe feel better.

My ex neighbour, the same person who'd let go of sheru had been planing a visit to come over to my house to meet sheru and last week she asked me if she could come today, Monday that is.
She sounded eager and a bit out of it and so I agreed, and in fact even sent her a welcoming message telling her that I would be glad for her to visit and looked forward to meeting her.

I was scarcely done pouring water in my French press when she sent me a frantic message that the guard at the compound gate wasn't letting her in because she didn't have a 24 hour valid covid test result, as she'd got her test done this morning itself and the results weren't yet reflecting on the code!

She then continued to tell me that the guard not only didn't allow her inside but also told her that he won't allow anyone from compound to meet her either as he was unsure about her.

She told him over and over that she's been tested this very morning and that the results will be out any minute but the guard didn't relent and told her to leave since her car was blocking others.

That I was singularly annoyed would be an understatement and I rushed out to meet her but she had left by then.
When I reached the compound gates I saw the guard armed with a scanning device to check the codes and the time since last test, and here's the kicker, I missed tests the past couple days and my code ain't valid for 24 hours either.
Which means that if I leave the compound I won't be able to enter because right at the gates in huge annoying posters there's instructions regarding the tests and that only those with valid 24 hours test can enter.

Turns out our area falls under high risk and these are the steps being taken of which I wasn't aware cuz I've been living in my own little fantasy world.

Basically I'm pretty much trapped inside until I get the test done tonight and we are required to get tested everyday until November 12.

I am so angry that I'm almost calm now.
That person who'd come all the way to meet sheru is now planning another visit and will get tested in advance and I want to set this fucking city on fire and burn every PPE suit in existence.

Happy Diwali my darling.
