Not gonna lie, this week has been ROUGH! It started out with my husband testing positive for Covid. Yay. We were all trying to quarantine and social distance in our house, but with three people, it’s been difficult (plus the hubs gets super cranky when he gets cabin fever – he does NOT like being forced to stay at home). We all sort of had our own sections of the place just tried to be really careful, but of course, it wasn’t enough.

I tested positive on Wednesday. I thought that maybe I had avoided it. I never ran a fever and only had a few mild symptoms that could have been written off as allergies. That’s still the case, which I’m grateful for, but it does make me miss work, which means a bit of a leaner paycheck over the next week or so. Not the end of the world, but I’ve been trying really hard to do better with my finances, paying off debt and building a savings. It’s a set back. A small one, but a set back nonetheless.

It’s also taking a mental toll on me. I know in a week things will be better, but right now I just feel really down. I am grateful that none of us have been super sick. So far, the kiddo seems okay. I worry a bit because we did hang out a bit just before I tested positive (because I swore I was in the clear), but if she does get sick, at least this strain seems mild and, since she’s taking a break from school, she can just hunker down in the house and ride it out.

So yeah, I’m not doing great this week, but I know things will get better. Just gotta get through it.
