Rather than rest on a Sunday I rested a bit yesterday after a VERY tiring week. I'd planned yesterday to be a cleaning day but I literally had no umph.......that starts over for me tomorrow.
I have 4 days until I take the biggest exam of my life. I need to have a couple meetings tomorrow and do clinic. I was supposed to host interns but its going to be virtual now. I pushed tomorrow's meeting for them to Tuesday. Today I need to study and deep clean some more. Its sheet/blanket wash day. My washer has a "sanitize" setting that really turns up the heat on the wash. Then its back to cleaning, and tossing toys, cleaning their dozens of stuffed animals, etc.....Its 11 AM and I'm so tired already. My husband is doing all the cooking and childminding today. He will help the oldest with schoolwork So....prayers for strength needed.
The good news is everyone here is doing fine, the oldest with COVID feels good, is playing, and just has a little cabin fever. They've been on immune boosting vitamins for weeks. They literally eat the equivalent of 1/2 their weight in fruits and veggies weekly and very little meat, cows milk (except yogurt which they absolutely love) and lots of water.
Silver lining: The toddler, who is COVID negative continues to nurse. Since I'm vaccinated, she has been getting a bit of a passive immunity from me since December and January. She is closer to weaning, but not ready to stop I can see. I will likely get my booster the end of the month or next month. I suspect she may have eluded sickness due to that--despite her exposure--- IF THE SCIENCE ON PASSIVE IMMUNITY VIA BREASTMILK and mom's vaccine status is right
The eldest with COVID was nursed herself until she was almost 4. Her immune system is amazing but I never want to test it. She beat so many things. SOOO many things already. But for her---she herself will have immunity hopefully through the end of the year simply by surviving this thing. She asked for a vaccine but is too young. So I have hope.
