I spent the weekend streaming Christmas movies and taking care of Scott. He continues to feel lousy because of his Covid infection. Thankfully he does not have a high fever and he is not violently coughing, but he is is exhausted and managing a constant headache. Hopefully he turns the corner soon because I know he is absolutely miserable!
Because Scott was sick and we didn't want to spread any infections in the community we stayed close to home this weekend. Saturday we were hoping to view the "Ring of Fire" eclipse but were instead treated to (another) rain storm and dreary day. So instead of going to an eclipse party we had milkshakes and cookies at home.
On Sunday the weather cleared and the ground began to dry. After days of constant rain it was nice to be able to get outside again. Timmy spent his afternoon gleefully decorating for Halloween. We now have skeletons, spiders and assorted creepy props strewn through our yard and in our trees. He definitely upped our spook factor this year.
While Timmy was all-in on decorating for Halloween, I have my eyes towards Christmas. In an attempt to avoid the news and to keep my home safe for kids, I have started to stream holiday movies instead of CNN. The movies may be predictable and cheesy, but at least I don't have to worry about Timmy walking in on graphic images.
Scott is off again today and will remain home for the next few days. He has to be symptom free and test negative for Covid before he is permitted to return to work. Hopefully he will turn the corner soon. It would be nice if he could enjoy his required sick days.
