We're so confused and frustrated with testing because everyone is telling us that even the faintest line on a single test means he's positive, regardless of how many negative rapid tests and PCR tests he's had thereafter. So the negative tests mean absolutely nothing? It seems like this is the consensus amongst the medical professionals and they are very nonchalant and matter-of-fact about it. Shouldn't we be concerned if the test results are really that unreliable? Didn't you hear, my swashbuckling feline friend, we don't care about the pandemic anymore! (I'm sorry. Sarcasm is all I have). But really, I'm sorry about all the confusion and uncertainty .

My unmasked toddler strongly suspected of having COVID was scream crying in multiple people’s faces with only surgical masks to protect themselves with. I mean, I’m grateful they treated him but I felt so weird being there with him with so few precautions. Seriously considered putting a mask on him.

H was supposed to get his booster yesterday but woke up feeling bad. Tested negative yesterday morning and just tested positive this morning.
And my grandpa passed away yesterday. So now we wait to see if the rest of us get it, and trying to potentially navigate the kids' first funeral solo with a moody 4 year who does not do well with strangers. We were always going to mask but obviously I won't go if we are symptomatic or positive.
And Ian is headed over us today. Nothing like Florida but our power goes out really easily. They canceled school so we're all stuck at home. And of course I have a meeting and another deadline today. At least an impending tropical storm creates good conditions for airing out the house.

Thanks ladies. All things considered, today was an okay day. The kids did well considering we were trapped inside, and I was able to get a decent amount of work done. The power flickered several times, but we somehow didn't lose power even though the winds were gusting 40+ mph. We have lost power for much, much less so I am shocked. And lots of other people lost theirs. I think we are through the worst of the storm now. My mom also called to let me know that we can stream the services if we can't make it, so that's a relief.
