So Gabe started with a pink eye sorta thing at the fireworks and has gradually become sicker as the week has progressed......but this morning he has quite a few Covid symptoms, after having a negative home test yesterday? I took him to the doctor yesterday and they did a long test so I guess we shall see.......Most of you remember we had Covid at Christmas......and having it definitely changed my view of it.......it was like we had all been dodging this monster, and then here it was.......time to face the dragon......and Gabe and I did fine and Mads never got it.........which I still find crazy........I was watching a show last night......a guilty pleasure one;-).......and it was filmed at the height of Covid as a reality show, and it made me remember just how huge Covid was for all of us......it is human nature to sort of adapt and do whatever is needed, and not really absorb or understand the impact of it all.....but quarantine......changing the way we all lived our lives.......the amount of time all of that remained that way......and my getting a divorce midway through it all, all of that profound heaviness and craziness is not lost on me.......it is a time we all will never forget indeed as it fades into the background......and now.....as life has crept back to some normalcy......Covid is still looming about........just more quietly........its presence there but we have mostly resigned ourselves now.....if it comes it comes......there is nothing to be done to avoid it completely......maybe it will never go away for good.......or maybe it will.......hard to say.......I haven't thought of it in a long time......aware of its presence but continuing on with our lives and trusting it all, as I have done.......so if Covid is here again.....in my home......we will face it and do whatever we need......blessings being I am off for the summer, we are home.....no time off needed......then we will roll into the school year with fresh antibodies......those are both pluses indeed......I am pumping extra vitamins, more than our norm......and just not sweating it.....there is nothing to be done about it.......worry is a waste of time......biggest lesson learned by far.......and conjecture is also a waste of time......Gabe is doing OK......super congested, no fever.....his head hurts and his throat......but he is Ok......just made him some honey tea and sent him back to bed to rest......so we will do home stuff till his test comes back......and see what we see.......I will start working on that to do list I got going on.......all of which can be done at home......and keep the faith......faith that it is all part of our path......each and every day.....I posted about Mads picking out that cross at Dollar General yesterday and it touched my heart so......she has totally gotten on board with my cross finding these days......beginning to form her own faith journey in her little heart.....and faith certainly never hurt anybody, each and every single day:)
