On Friday morning I was feeling very sick, so Abe took the kids to swimming lessons. It was their last lesson of the summer with Aubrey so she let the kids try her mermaid tail. When it was Clarissa’s turn, she refused to take it off and Ammon never got a turn, but he seemed happy diving for rings.
In the afternoon I took the Covid test, and within two hours learned that I have Covid. I was not surprised because by that point I had lost all taste and sense of smell, and all of the other symptoms aligned. I felt very grateful I was fully vaccinated because I can only imagine how bad it would have been without that. Still, I was pretty miserable all day.
Abe had to work a full day, but when he finished we did some laundry together and then he fed the kids dinner and put them to bed while I shivered under some blankets. We were supposed to leave on our Chicago road trip today but obviously cancelled that since we now need to quarantine.
We finished the day by watching a couple episodes of Ted Lasso together. We love that show so much and laughing through a couple episodes helped turn both of our moods around. I had not been very kind (to put it extremely mildly) about Abe working while I had Covid, and Abe had felt stressed because of the prospect of falling further behind in work. But we ended the day in a good place. Thanks, Ted Lasso!
