So….wake up Xmas morning, go downstairs to get my cuppa Java and my wife is already there, not unusual for a typical family Xmas morning, but she looks at me and says; “Has she told you yet”? 
Well apparently my junior-in-college  daughter had just heard from her bf, the one she’d just come back from a ski trip with the day before, that he’d tested positive for Covid. 
Now here’s the thing: My son and his wife had arrived the night before & my other son was planning to arrive that afternoon. I for one had spent the previous day w/ my daughter Xmas shopping, so now all bets were off- we needed to get tested…pronto!
So after notifying all friends and relatives that we were off limits for Xmas, we find the only open drive thru testing spot in Charlotte, register online, and head out.
When we get there, I kid you not, we find a mile long line of cars snaking down Freedom Rd. Unreal. 
Having no other choice since i need a rapid test before Monday to see if i can even go back to work, we go to the end of the line. 
After 3 hours waiting in the car- talking, laughing, arguing as a family often does on Xmas day, we get near the front and, you guessed it, they ran out of tests & we’re isht outta luck!
No other  recourse left but to head home, attempt to have some semblance of a Xmas day, & return…today.
And yes, as I write this, we’re sitting in our car…again, having been here now since 8:00am,  waiting on line, still not tested and moving at a snail’s pace. 
This has been the…oddest Xmas on record for our Fam, and only further illustrates how much of a SOB this Covid can be.
Wish us luck….and a belated merry Xmas to all!
