So around here this week....
I'm finally able to consistently take a few breaths without hacking up a lung. The cough is still there, but over the past couple of days I've seen a real improvement. It was really discouraging to go almost 2 weeks and not see that, so I'm really encouraged. It's definitely made its way through the family, though. Not one of my kid's families has been untouched....fevers, snotty noses, coughs, ear infections, ruptured ear drums, we've had it all, but so far everyone's testing negative for Covid.
I did have a chance to wrap up my 2021 planner so, yay. I still have a couple of weeks to wrap up in the Project Life app so I can print my yearly book. My husband and I had Eric's kids this week because my daughter-in-law had some surgery, so most of what happened revolved around them.
Our weather though, hasn't made anything easy. They were supposed to start back to school on Monday, but we had school cancelations through Wednesday because of stuff like this. Bit of a double-edged sword. We didn't have a schedule we needed to keep, but it meant we had to be entertaining. There were lots of afternoon movies, some treat making, and some outside activity time. As an aside, you can hear the scratchy sound of my voice. This was vast improvement over the week before when I sounded like a 4 pack-a-day smoker.
We've had a lot more moisture than we usually get this winter already, and it's very badly needed.
It made for some dandy icicles,
...which Grandpa deemed unsafe.
He was afraid someone was going to poke their eye out, so he went along and broke them all off after I took these pictures. It was a fun week, but as of yesterday morning I hadn't had a chance to put one Christmas decoration away. The tree is still up and probably a fire hazard. Grateful to have them here, grateful now to have time to dig out my house.
SNOW DAYS!

Snow Day was a rare treasure back in our day! Only if the superintendent couldn't make it around the block in his tank. That was the rumor on the playground anyways.
