This isn't the usual sort of celebration for this thread, unlike us paying off our mortgage and dropping our annual spend around $53K, which I reported earlier this month.
Back in Marchpril, that vague time from 1-March to 30-April, we made 25% of our rental units available for free to medical personnel so they would have a place to stay where they wouldn't infect their families with Covid.
(Ok, 25% sounds mighty impressive, it's one out of our four rental homes. :) )
I stopped by to check on our two guests this afternoon. Both of them had contracted Covid and had recovered.
I'm glad they recovered and I'm really glad they didn't infect the rest of their families too. The latter is our contribution to public health. Those spouses and kids and their friends and other loved ones didn't get infected. Maybe one of them would have gone on to be a super-spreader or some of them could have died.
Sometimes it's the little decisions that matter.
And I'm celebrating that we made the right one.
I've got one more item to celebrate. In my blog on this forum, at a reader's request, I made a list of various directed charity things I had done to help people I knew needed help. Sometimes it cost me money, sometimes it saved me money. I did it to give people an idea of things they could do to help other people out, that might make a good impact on their lives, which often don't have to cost you anything. A blog reader posted something that they had done to help out a friend that they otherwise wouldn't have thought of doing. Made my day.
