Well cross your fingers for us…looks like it’s our turn to all get covid.
A child in the 2-year old room has it. So my unmasked son has been exposed.
The daycare is shutting the 2-year old room and only allowing kids with negative tests back Monday, unless more than 3 test positive, then shutting for 2 weeks.
Oddly, my 4-year old is still allowed to come, but she now has to wear a mask outside (they already wear them inside.)
Looks like he’s ok and we don’t have any symptoms and are ok as well! Yay!!
I know someone else at I think 3 daycare exposures and tests and quarantines where there family has stayed safe!
Confirmed positive exposure. Plus all three of us worsening symptoms. So I assume we have it
Friends 2 year old room was exposed to a classmate and NONE of the other kids got it 
fingers crossed for you guys.
Fingers crossed for a mild course for you all 
Anything we can do for you three? Food deliveries/book recommendations/amusing anecdotes to pass the time?
Hoping it’s mild and confers super powers.
Crap. I hope it passes quickly!
Oof, really sorry to hear this. Fingers crossed for you all.
I realize that the huge fireworks display scheduled for downtown on NYE is outdoors, HOWEVER, whenever this sort of things go on the CTA gets so crowded that there are lines going all the way up the el stairs and onto the street below (or above, for subway lines). People are going to be jam-packed together on trains and buses to get there and, especially home from the loop.
I think this is a bad idea.
MI has averaged 6500 cases per day for the last week or two. The last two days average is almost 13,000. Oof.
Book recommendations! Especially on Kindle unlimited. Maybe family friendly tv and movies too. We have Netflix and Disney plus
I just read the lost alchemist and it was super good. Last year read how to lose a time war and enjoyed that a lot too.
Well, srepMIL is very sick . No tests to be found.
Kid friendly tv on Disney+ if you’re not Christmased out - Mickey’s Once Upon A Christmas is several short stories featuring the different characters, Mickey and Minnie Wish Upon A Christmas is on longer story (50 minutes) about the gang getting split up by accident and trying to get back together to celebrate Christmas.
The Tinker Bell movies Secret of the Wings and Pirate Fairy are good. The Buddies movies are what you’d expect, I’ve seen the Super Buddies one a bunch of times.
I read The Rose Code, the Alice Network, and the Gown over the last few months, and they were excellent. All WW2 historical fiction.
I just read Song of the Forever Rains and Dance of a Burning Sea (EJ Mellow) on Kindle unlimited. Unfortunately the 3rd book isn’t out yet. 3 sisters with magical powers who are normal rich ladies to the world, but the super powerful assassins/enforcers of the Thief King. The second one has pirates.
The Vine Witch(Luanne G. Smith) trilogy was good. Early 1900s France, but some folks have magic. Main character of first book is a special witch who makes wine and is trying to get revenge on who cursed her to be a toad for 7 years. 2nd and 3rd books follow the women she encountered in book 1 and their quandaries.
Jamie Beck has a ton of contemporary romance that is enjoyable.
Charlie N. Holmberg has several good fantasy series. Smoke and Summons is the first book of the one I read most recently.
Uncle who was recently put on hospice has had another MI. The hospitals are so overburden where he is that they need to transfer him out right away, but they can’t get any in-home hospice because all the hospice companies are too understaffed right now. My aunt can’t handle him having all of these cardiac events at home alone, so they’re going to transfer him to a long-term care facility even though there’s only a roommate situation available. That means no option for visitors, and obviously a much higher Covid risk. At this point he probably only has a week or two left to live. One of the worst parts of it all is that he lives in another state from all of his sisters, and so my mom can’t go and safely visit him. She just wanted to hold his hand before he died. He’s pretty out of it at this point. Covid really sucks.
Also my cousin,( his son), currently is dying from a neuroblastoma, and so it’s not safe for him to travel down there to see his dad one last time either. His step sister (my uncles adopted daughter) died a couple years ago from cirrhosis from alcoholism. So now it’ll just be my aunt and her 4 year old grandson that my cousin left behind. Fuckin fuck, man.
Oof oh fuck
