DS1 woke up with a bad headache and a fever of 102. So I have a call into his doctor and I’m debating leaving a message for my therapist because my anxiety is causing me to think of worst case scenarios.

I hope it's just a dumb sinus infection with really, really bad timing.

So sorry, 4PrivetDrive - hoping it's just a really shitty-timed bug and that's it. Hope he's feeling better soon!

Oh No! 4PrivetDrive, I'm so sorry. I hope it's just a random bug and he's quickly recovered.

Omg 😂 DH works with a lot of airport/airplane nerds that would eat these tickets right up. They are the people who book round trip same-day tickets to achieve high airline status and because they just love flying that much during non-COVID times. It’s insane. 😂

Man. Idk what to do. DS’s bestie went to a birthday party last weekend. No masks, indoors, sharing food, playing games. The whole shebang. We had been on the same ultra cautious page with her mom and now it seems like we’re not. I know she’s had people over in her backyard too, and she takes her kid shopping all over town lately (masked, but still, DS almost never sets foot inside a building). DS is an only child and getting to hang with his BFF has been essential for his mood and mental health. Idk if we need to stop seeing her or just accept a higher level of risk. Obviously I’ll talk to H about it, but man, I’m bummed.

I just know taking kids to stores, unless necessary, is something that I question with some of my friends here. I haven’t hung out with one family because she told me they went back to school shopping with their son. I know the risk may be low, but was that necessary?

And she knows she could just drop her off with us anytime. So why drag her to the store? I got an update - the party was outside, there was a water slide, no one wore masks. She didn’t think to tell us because it was outside. I’m not sure I feel any better about it.

NBC News tweeted that the US has passed 200,000 deaths The online tracker was showing over 200k yesterday afternoon. I wanted to do something to commemorate like they do crosses or pics of deceased but no way to do 200,000 of anything.

4PrivetDrive you keep coming to mind since I read your post. I hope whatever illness your dealing with is manageable at home. Sorry your ex put you in this position. easier that stinks about your DS’s bubble friend. If my kiddos were still at home exclusively I would be limiting contact with those I didn’t think were doing the same. I’ve only lessened up some because of school/work. I wanted to keep my bubble for as long as I could!

Well son's school was 34 students being managed for covid on and off campus, then the next week it was 96 students being managed for covid on and off campus, and this week is 273. so multiplying by 3x each week. oh my gosh
Now the county dashboard says that most of those in the last week are probable cases, results not available yet, so maybe some of them just have cold symptoms and are being managed as if they have covid. And not all of them are on campus but the college is reporting on and off campus students together, county is only doing by where you live and has on campus housing listed separately.
none of the students are reporting parties, some have a few in person classes[small class sizes like 10, most classes are flex/hybrid], food at dining hall (it's all to go) a few restaurants open with limited seating,

I have no idea if the clinic calls on the weekend. s1 is feeling better today, but just wants to lay around which for him is out of character.

Both boys had fevers last night. I have a stupid thermometer that won’t work unless you link it to your phone, and it was dropped last night and now it reset and I can’t get it linked. Fucking technology. I’m exhausted. I can’t tell if I’m stuffy from allergies or if that’s symptoms. My neck also hurts. But I also slept like crap.
My mom is dropping off a thermometer today. I had hoped we got DS1’s results yesterday but maybe they don’t get our results on the weekend. I’m sure they’ll want DS2 to get tested now that he’s had symptoms as well. And I’ll get tested too. This is such fun.

4PrivetDrive. I’m so sorry. Sending healthy vibes. I’d send you my extra thermometer too but your mom will probably get there quicker. I had to have my mom pick one up for me a couple weeks ago too. She got me 2

4PrivetDrive, hang in there friend. Most labs/states aren't reporting results over the weekend, but hopefully you find out first thing tomorrow. I'm sure the waiting and wondering is agony.

My dad watched a British tourist get arrested today at the grocery store. How did he know he was British? Because he kept telling he was a brit and that's why he didn't need to wear a mask. 🤦
