Saturday was Halloween, and we had a lovely day! My husband made breakfast for us and it was tasty, but I could not eat much at all. Then he and our roommate went out shopping since there is a large expectation that we will soon go back into quarantine since our Covid cases are really rising again in the United States and so many other countries have already went back into a stay home and stay safe order. Then we watched some Halloween specials and ate lunch. Just relaxed around the house doing laundry and light cleaning. Then we went over to our roommate's Aunt's house for a Halloween party!
But while there I found out that two of the cousins had been sent home from school for kids in their classrooms getting Covid, and they were past the quarantine period and also not showing any signs of the illness. So they got to go back to school and were safe to be around, which I am sure is the case or we wouldn't have all been together on Halloween night! I am sure they have taken all the precautions. But my mind ran away with it because I have stayed so secluded since Covid became a concern, I have been only going out for groceries or to visit family.
That night after we got home I woke up at 1am concerned that they might not have had enough of a viral load to get sick, but me, with my shit immune system might have caught it. As I have talked about in previous blogs, I get sick so easily, especially when others are immune to it. The less sick others around me are, the more miserable I am going to end up being. None of us were wearing masks and though none of us touched, there was still the risk of airborne.
I am sure everything is fine, but I woke up freaking out and showering and changing everything in my bedding so I could have clean bedding; I didn't go back to sleep until 5 am, so I thought I wouldn't feel up for much the next day. I know it was safer for me to relax after having such a turbulent night, and rest and relaxation are often tricks to not getting sick if you were exposed sometimes. But it has been two days and I am still feeling great! So I am relaxing about it now.
I was never a germaphobe before, but here I am now.
I am trying not to think about Covid; I did not come into contact with someone who had it. I should be fine, there is no reason for me to be searching for the symptoms. I have yet to have any symptoms.
I am sure other's know what is going on and the school and the parents know not to put others at risk of catching it. I am just so used to staying home and not getting close to others. I had yet to know someone who had been in contact with someone with Covid.
So far, so good. I don't have a fever; I don't feel badly, in fact I feel much better than I have been feeling. I don't have a sore throat, or a headache or a stuffy nose. I am doing well.
We finished our Christmas gift list.
We are on a roll with finishing our Christmas list before Halloween. I'm sure this will change as we have children. But as crazy as I am about Halloween, as an adult without children, we don't get to do much.
And yesterday morning we woke up early and took down all of our Halloween decorations and put out our Christmas decorations.
Today is another great day! I am finally getting back to "normal" with my husband returning to work today. I am getting to do cleaning around the house at my pace while he is working.
Our Christmas decorations are beautiful and now I am cuddled up with a cup of hot chocolate.
It snowed yesterday, but none of it stuck. We listened to Christmas music all morning while we decorated.
I am in the holiday mood now, with our house being completely decorated.
I am eager to start Christmas happy movies already!
I have no appetite right now, so eating is a hard thing for me to keep up on.
I have to come up with lunch and dinner today with my husband back at work, but I haven't even eaten breakfast yet because I am just not hungry.
Food tastes great, I just feel so bloated and full all the time that even thinking about food makes me feel sick. In the evening, I eat better than in the morning. Last night I ate some leftovers at 7:30. I have never been a night eater, and have always been a morning eater, I usually wake up starving and look for breakfast right away.
