First Week of January 2023

This has been an extremely long week of doing nothing. I don't like self quarantining. Even though I ended my last post saying I was feeling so much better, I exaggerated a bit. I have never been one to be sick for more that a day or two, so being under the weather for a week was no fun. I did feel a bit better each day, but that was very slow progress for me. I managed to be somewhat productive for a couple of hours each morning before crashing on the couch for the rest of the day. I didn't eat hardly anything for several days and for the very first time in my life I actually lost a little weight when I was sick! Now the trick is to keep it off. lol

Everyday seemed to be just like the previous day. My "couple of hours in the morning" stretched to an hour or two in the afternoon. Finally around Thursday and Friday I actually spent all day "working". I spent time in the scriptures. I worked on my lists for awhile. I got to chat with fellow co-workers about a few things. I did a research project or two. And I was able to spend some time on Family History. I even reconnected with a 2nd Cousin in South Dakota thanks to some help from Sean.

Steve is doing much better and even went to do a quick grocery shopping trip on Saturday. He spent three days binge watching Lord of the Rings from Wednesday to Friday. I was more tired on Saturday than I expected and crashed on the couch again. We were hoping to go back to Church on Sunday, but realized we haven't been tested yet so technically we can't go back until we have a negative test. We are going to try and get that done soon. We are so ready to go back into regular life.

On Saturday, MyLiege sent me some pictures of Anna's Winter Formal. It turns out she traded in the beautiful pink dress she picked out last week for a new black gown. It is also very beautiful. Anyway, I thought I would share some of her beautiful pictures in our blog since we didn't take any pictures this week.

I hope everyone is healthy and happy! Enjoy your week and especially your life.

All our Love,
