i've thrown myself into planning my kid's birthday party two months from now.
i don't know who will be there besides us, but it's going to be extremely cutely decorated
my other kid had his birthday right at the peak of everything here. it's hurting my heart that the other one won't be able to do what he really wants either, so i'm throwing money at the whole situation. somehow it helps.

TheoV2, I’m so sorry, that is so stressful. Are the kids wearing masks? We had a Covid positive case and no other students have caught it! We’re currently wrapping up our quarantine as well. I’m sending you guys lots of positive thoughts. Thankfully yes. The biggest stress for us is that my son is so panicked. He is on the spectrum and has anxiety so it's difficult to pull him back when he starts getting upset.

I was reading back to see why you wanted her to stab a man There is a low threshold for stabbing in 2020.

Is he getting tested? Fingers crossed, they have a rapid test and you guys won’t have to wait for results. Maybe. I'm not sure. I don't know if I would trust the rapid test since it seems to have a higher false positive rate.

They just announced that even if numbers go up there will be no quarantining of kids whose parents or siblings test positive for Covid. Kids will still have mandatory schooling and need to go in. How kids will get to school has also been an issue as Covid sick parents shouldn’t be at school or on public transport.
Our numbers are starting to tick up again, and they won’t close schools if numbers get high in a region, they didn’t close a local school when 10% of teachers tested positive, they will only shut down if they don’t have enough teachers to be open.
It’s going to be a long autumn.

Anywhere worth going doesn't want us. I tried to convince MH to road trip to Arkansas to see fall leaves over the next long weekend and he’s like, Arkansas? Please stop. 😂 My husband and I are taking a trip to Fabulous Chattanooga in a few weeks. This was supposed to be the year I flew across the Atlantic.

I don't know if I would trust the rapid test since it seems to have a higher false positive rate. I think it's a higher false negative rate. Not sure about false positives, but I think they are still low for the rapid test.

According to a local paper if NJ followed the travel advisories/quarantine restrictions from other states for counties in NJ, our county would be travel restricted. Like OMFG. The rest of the state gets it. But not us. And they want to open schools too.

I just got the call from the school that my high schooler was in close contact with a positive student and will now have to quarantine. Well fuck. I'm sorry.

It’s going to be a long autumn. This just blows me away beyond belief. I’m sorry you have to deal with this. On a positive note they announced this because they may soon recommend that the spouse or partner of someone who has tested positive also stay home and quarantine whereas since March they have been told to go to work and don’t qualify for paid leave -so I guess it is progress? They haven’t done it yet though and it will only be for areas with high numbers for short periods. In the future? I have an appointment with my youngest in the hospital for an X-ray tomorrow and they don’t even wear masks there. I have an n95 for me and my kid to wear. I know they will give us shit because masks on grownups are weird and and a rejection of our local experts who are always right, but masks on kids are terrible. But I’m ok with their judgement. Sorry this got ranty —

Welp, DS2 made it bts, but DS1 never did. Got sick, won 10 days of home isolation, and we're heading for testing shortly.

My husband and I are taking a trip to Fabulous Chattanooga in a few weeks. This was supposed to be the year I flew across the Atlantic. The Whiskey Thief rooftop bar in The Edwin hotel is very fun if you’re okay with an outdoor bar. It's already under consideration! Our plan is to hike some, eat a lot of takeout/patio food, and not be around our children for 4 days. There seem to be a plethora of delicious looking restaurants within walking distance of our Airbnb, so I'm actually pretty excited.

Our courts officially announced yesterday that they were doing zoom court for all family cases (where all of my cases fall) through June 30 of next year. So I’m pretty sure that means my boss won’t call us back into the office until at least then. It’s so insane to think about but it’s a relief.

Not sure where you’re staying, but this is my favorite breakfast/ brunch place. www.thedailyrationchattanooga.com/I'll take the pimento cheese, the biscuits and gravy, a southern Benedict (that's fucking right, double up that pimento cheese), a kimchi rice bowl, and a spicy chicken biscuit for dessert. With a side of white cheddar grits. Someone get that to me ASAP thanks so much.

STP when I was in Chicago last year we ate at the most amazing Tapas place. www.cafebabareeba.com/When you are able/comfortable/in the area, anything really I can not recommend it enough. Whenever the after of this is, the ladies I met with in Chicago and I are going back and will likely eat this daily.

I have dreams of getting all dressed up, going to our favorite hotel bar and sitting in a big comfy chair and having a fanceh cocktail and snacks. People need to get their shit together! Yes. Yes. I just want to put on a sexy top, and drink one too many cocktails, and eat five kinds of appetizers. Some day, right? SOME DAY?!
