We're getting ice this afternoon and it's a solid sheet outside. I went out to check the mail and fell flat after putting only one foot out. Oooh, are you sore today? We are getting ice today, I'm in sweats, going nowhere. Yeah. Mostly my one knee and my shoulder. Not fun.

Dd1 says her throat hurts. In order to get her strep tested at our clinic she has to have a negative covid test. Their school does free rapid testing on request of parents, so I'm going to have them do that tomorrow, and then I'll schedule the strep test. I dont think it's covid or strep, and is likely being caused by the cold dry air.

I dont think it's covid or strep, and is likely being caused by the cold dry air. I hope it turns out not to be either covid or strep! Does she ever get strep without a fever? That's a pain that you have to get a covid test before you can get a strep test! They should be taking full precautions anyway given that she has a sore throat. Good you can get a test at school, though. Does she have to miss school tomorrow (other than just stopping by for the test) or can she be there with neg test as long as no fever or other symptoms?

Good luck, scotty! Hopefully his case stays mild and the rest of you don't get it or have just mild and nothing lingering! Is your dad ok?

She has had strep before with no fever. In the past, the only symptom she has had was vomiting. I have no idea how it all works with the testing. I think she can just go and they pull her from class for the test, and wait to see what the results are. Im going to call first thing in the morning and see what how it all gets done.

athena I hope you feel better Ice is the worst Dd2 had a terrible reaction to melatonin last night she was freaking out standing straight up then throwing her entire body on top of me. She kept trying to leave my room and yelling. I can barely move my neck today.

Today's "When did I get so incompetent?" moment - I couldn't cut through a squash so tried to sharpen the knife with the thingy that came with the knife set and I totally made it worse! luckily had another large knife I don't usually use that was sharper and managed to cut up the squash.

If your doing butternut or the like it sometimes helps to take a vegi peeler to the outside first. Knife can find more purchase that way.

She’s Ok. Covid itself hasn’t been bad at all. Slight headache and minor congestion. Her biggest issue is that it’s making her blood sugars high (she’s type 1 diabetic) and she’s struggling to keep it under 250. When it’s high, she gets pukey and feels awful. She’s had a hard time getting a hold of her endo for advice on insulin changes to make. She’s made some adjustments on her own that seem to be helping. Thanks for asking 😊

I just talked to her and she’s got the blood sugar better under control but she has the spins really bad. Like can’t keep her eyes open or stand up. Sounds so miserable.

The kids are remote today due to weather, and I am not equipped for it this morning. Especially since H is still in bed (I could wake him up, but DD2 is in a meeting right now and so doesn't really need assistance at the moment. Getting DD1 motivated is the real challenge.

Dd1 is getting tested at 10:30 at school. I cleaned up the kitchen and got what she wants for lunch for the rest of the week made just in case I need to run and get her.
Oh, and I'm also 95% sure I saw a coyote on the way to school this morning actually IN town, but right on the northern edge of it.

I stay as far away as I can but there are a lot of them. We’ve seen them on our ring cameras a few times. 😬

I’m always really cautious with the dogs (and kids) outside. I think they used to live near the house, but we removed some of the wooded area (trees unkept and lots of ivy) and now our new neighbor is completely renovating and cleaned up their yard (really old lady lived there before) - so I haven’t heard their distinctive howls in a while. I got a picture of one last year just standing in my neighbor’s yard (neighbor at the end of the street) just staring at me. One of the streams from the Chattahooche ends at the back of my neighbor’s house.

Scary for anyone whose pets are escape artists, though!

My dad's hip replacement surgery that was supposed to be tomorrow is postponed because hospital too full of covid cases. He thinks it might happen next week; I bet he's going to be waiting a lot longer.

Scary for anyone whose pets are escape artists, though! activebaby is right. Urban coyotes are not uncommon. I read about how they wait for walk lights to change to cross the street. I think that was in Chicago. Anyway, they are here and they are not just out at night or dawn or dusk. We see them all the time, especially when it’s breeding season.
