When covid comes to town – again.

We had notification last night that there is an active positive Covid case in my youngest child’s kindergarten class. In another of the junior kindergarteners, all of whom are too young to be vaccinated even once unless born in Jan or early Feb. So even if the young ones have had a first dose very little time has passed for partial immunity to build. Ugh!

So this morning we were testing, and worrying and watching, and waiting. So far thumbs up, all good. Negative tests for our peace of mind. And a stay at home sick day for our troubles. We always knew it would come calling. Pushing it’s dirty tendrils into every facet of our lives. We’ve been very fortunate to only have a few cases in people we know and are close to, physically that is. People from within our semi permanent ten person bubble. Let’s just say it’s been a quiet two years with just our ten faces in close contact. Not that we haven’t seen others, outdoors and physically removed by several feet, and masks.

Makes sense that the greatest threat lies within our youngest child’s kindergarten class. Little kids don’t care much for the potential threat, and lose track of themselves when they get excited by play-dough or toys. It’s understandable. I don’t like it, but I get it. As far as being the weakest link and all that, I totally understand.

So – what to do, what to do, with both kids home, yet again. Glad to have gotten my work completed while they were in school otherwise I’d be stressed out. But no online school, and no work projects calling my name urgently. Day 55 could be a wash.
