Well, November was memorable but not very eventful. 🤣 I'll explain.
The first Friday of November, Todd was feeling funky in the morning. A few hours later he had a small fever, and was a little achy. No big deal, we'll see how this plays out. A couple of hours later his fever had gotten over 101 and he was feeling ROUGH. He though it was just a cold/flu. I was pretty sure it was Covid and that he needed to get tested. As soon as his fever appeared, he was sent downstairs to quarantine until further notice (AKA until we got him tested for Covid and knew what we were dealing with).
He went in to get tested the next day (Saturday), and by Sunday night we had his test results back. He was positive for Covid.
So he had to quarantine downstairs- no contact with the upstairs or outside world. And Riley and I had to quarantine from the outside world too. Fuuuuuuun. 😕
Feeding my prisoner- this was the hardest part- being in charge of ALL of the meals. I'm spoiled and Todd takes care of most of the cooking, so it was a LONG 10 days (probably for him too- I kept forgetting to make sure he was good on food.. 😬)
We moved the little tube TV upstairs so we could play the Nintendo and watch VHS movies (we don't have a TV upstairs, so this was the only way to keep us from going crazy!)
We played a LOT of games together, did art projects, and built stuff with Legos.
And played a LOT of Candy Land. I ended up ordering other games from Amazon because I was so sick of playing Candy Land. 😂
Building towers to pass the quarantine time.
A few days before Todd's quarantine I went to get tested so I could go back to work. It was a Saturday, and by Monday morning I had my test results back.
Positive.
UGH!!
No symptoms.
I had to start my quarantine from Monday, which put it ending the day after Thanksgiving. So we went along with Todd finishing up his quarantine downstairs, and us being able to hang out together as a family by Tuesday.
Monday night I ended up spiking a fever, was super nauseated, and I had a giant headache. So we swapped places and I quarantined downstairs. It was SO hard being away from Todd and Riley. We really mild cases (thank goodness!), but it still sucked.
Riley showing me what book they were reading for bedtime that night. That's as close as we got during my quarantine. Todd was vert attentive and I was very well taken care of. I need to take lessons from him. 😂
We ended my quarantine from downstairs on Thanksgiving morning (free to go into the world the next day!!!). The first thing I did was hug my boys! I missed them!
Todd and Riley starting on Thanksgiving dinner prep. We just had the three of us (still in quarantine), and it was so nice! Todd killed it with ALL of the food!
There were a few nights in November that Riley insisted on sleeping in the chair like this. I moved him every night back into his bed, but had to document it.
Stella is the best pup in the land. This is her reminding me that she hasn't had dinner yet. She just comes and looks at me, then goes and lays down. Isn't she so cute?!
Bike rides pre-quarantine. This kid kills me!
First snow storm!
Decorating the tree. Riley LOVES Christmas and was SO excited that it was finally time to put the tree up again!
Here's to December being a little less Covid-y and a little more outside-the-house-y. 😁
