Our COVID Journey
WOW, so it's been a hot minute. Hadn't posted or updated since March when I shared my Top 5 Words/Phrases during this crazy Covid Time. And I just re-watched the video I made and laughed. Everything about those words are so normal to me now. This IS the life we are living. So crazy.
So this past week, Covid has entered our home. Boo. We've been SO careful. We haven't traveled. We haven't gone anywhere without our masks. We haven't been inside anyone's homes besides Jeff's parents and my mom's since Thanksgiving. Besides trick or treating on Halloween with some close friends, we have done nothing.
We have said "no" to house parties, play dates, unnecessary gatherings. You name it.
BUT...we do have Noah in spring sports. He plays soccer 2-3 times a week outdoors and we can safely socially distant at his games. No worries there. He also plays basketball inside a gym with the refs and coaches wearing masks. They do a great job doing temp checks (if those even matter) and having the boys wear masks when they enter and even sanitize the basketballs at timeouts and at halftime. All non-players and spectators are to wear masks at all times. We can only have the immediate family come and watch his games. We are rule followers so we have not had grandparents come. But we soon noticed how many people disregarded that rule.
On Saturday, January 9th, while at Noah's basketball game, one of Jeff's former players was there coaching a team. He came up to Jeff, with his mask on his chin, gave Jeff a quick bro hug and they talked a good 10 minutes before Noah's game started. Jeff was wearing his gaiter correctly over his nose, but we later find out that this person tested positive. Jeff's symptoms started Tuesday and mine hit hard on Thursday. Fever, chills, aches, fatigue...you name it. While Jeff kicked his symptoms in 48 hours, I was feeling pretty lousy. So I thought I would do a video diary of my Covid Journey to share with whoever wants to listen. Here are my first three days, recorded on day 5, day 6, and day 7 respectively.
I do plan to update daily and will do those as individual posts. Mainly as a way for me to pass the time and have my own documentation of this crazy time.
