The plan was to go to hubby’s sisters house, where hubby’s mother also lives (in a “mother-in-law” mobile home), have breakfast, and then we’d all drive to hubby’s brother’s house where we’d open presents and eventually have dinner. As we were driving down for breakfast, we got a call from hubby’s sister announcing she had tested positive for COVID. Fifteen minutes later, she called again saying their mother (87 y. o.) had also tested positive. They had both managed to avid getting it up to this point. Hubby’s mother had been sick for a few days already, but she had been testing negative. Hubby spent Friday with her helping her wrap presents, so he may have been exposed, which means that I may have been exposed as well. We’ll have to wait a few days to test. As we have both had the bivalent booster, I am hoping this whole thing rolls off our backs. We went through our own COVID ordeal last May, and I’d prefer not having to go through it again.
We had breakfast with hubby’s mother anyway, and played board games with her into the afternoon. In any case, Christmas for the family has been delayed by at least a week. Heck, Christmas has 12 days to it (though Americans a re generally done with Christmas by the day after New Year’s, it actually runs to the Epiphany, AKA 12th Night, AKA Three Kings Day, on January 6, which is when the seasonal gifts are exchanged in many cultures. We could do it then.
Let this be a reminder that the pandemic is not over.
Comments are below the fold.
