Ellie had her first volleyball tournament.
She started club volleyball in December and has LOVED playing.
During birthday week I was feeling under the weather. Due to my job I decided I better take a COVID test and turned out I was positive. Flashbacks from last time taking a pregnancy test.
This resulted in a full day of writing lessons plans for the week I had to be out of school.
Symptoms were mainly annoying cold-like symptoms, I did end up losing my sense of smell. I guess I was glad that I had been vaccinated and had received the booster not long before. Either I would have had worse symptoms, or not. I've always been a skeptic of flu shots and such, but ended up getting these vaccines because I enjoy traveling and didn't want to be restricted. So my skeptic side thinks I've been more sick having the vaccines than not, but it may also have been from weakened immune system due to wearing masks all of last school year. who knows???
Ethan ended up being sick as well. We did not test him, but assumed he had COVID as well, so he stayed home for the week with me. My sweet friend Katrina sent us some Crumbl, Yummmmm!!!
Finished the 1000 piece puzzle that we started during Christmas break.
Cooper is still hanging in there 3 legs and all.
Cooper has been shedding A LOT lately.
We are thinking that losing a limb must affect his body in a way that causes this.
