So far so good – no COVID

The week flew by – the kids did virtual school, I did virtual work and Clay got to relax in his own home! We are not past the full 10 days from the me and the girls having a COVID close contact exposure, but so far no one is showing any symptoms at all. Marianne must have just had a stomach bug (or too much Mac and cheese – as Clay always says) because she bounced back within 24 hours.

Plus I started back working out with our neighbors – and if I did not die during the two workouts I did, and I could still breathe (which is debatable) I probably don’t have the VID-19. I tried to tell Clay that the pic below was his “Shift” workout – to ease back into cardio and strength training – but he did not believe me for some reason 😜. Instead we are trying to walk around the neighborhood when it’s not raining! But he’s going to be pretty jealous when I’m “jacked” with my new muscles and he’s got his scrawny chicken legs…

Our big project of the week was Bennett’s presidential presentation on Richard Nixon. Probably the only presentation on Nixon that does not use the word “Watergate”. He just found a lot of other more important things that Nixon should be remembered for – like shepherding the Civil Rights Act through congress – than the one bad thing. I am very proud of him for looking at the positive and not getting bogged down in the negative – how much better would we all be if we did the same??? The take-away that Clay and I got from the project is that we are about to start a nationwide campaign to bring back glue paste in schools and get rid of the stupid glue sticks that don’t work. We had about 20 glue sticks and had to use most of them just to get everything to stay glued down. And we aren’t sure how long it will last.

Tonight we are having a chill night – pizza and watching Scrubs! We told the girls it was a better “hospital” show than Gray’s Anatomy which is TRUE.

Please pray that Clay’s WBC’s continue to rise, that he can stay infection free and that he keeps his spirits up!
