COVID epidemic in our world

 Connor had an ear infection a couple of weeks ago with temps of 104 and was miserable. Vally had a fever about the same time. 

 About ten days or so ago AJ came home from work sick with COVID. Then Connor got sick and he was sick. AJ was miserable with a fever for a couple of days but Connor was 100% miserable for over a week. A couple of days after AJ tested positive I started violently coughing and couldn't stop. Don asked what I aspirated and I said nothing. I took some Nyquil coughed for an hour then went to bed. I got up, felt fine and went to work. Steve has 300 COVID test in the classroom. Margaret and I took some test home. When I got home I felt like I had a fever so I took my temperature and a COVID test. I have COVID. I felt crappy for a couple of days with a fever, cough and really sore throat. About 5 days after I got sick Don woke up at 5 am and said "I have it" and he was right.

 Somewhere between me and Don getting it Steph got it. I gave it to Margaret who gave it to her daughter who she dropped off at girls camp for a week. When she picked her up from girls camp yesterday her daughter tested positive.

Steve and his entire family have it and I haven't even seen them. Garret is positive. We really have been a COVID cluster. Carter and Sean are still resisting.

Connor was the sickest and he is the only one not immunized. We don't know if he got the sickest because he wasn't immunized or if it's just because he's a baby.

Carter's car

 

This is the second time a teenager has run into Carter. He got hit in Bountiful on the way to the gym by some teenagers who were rocking out to music and ran a red light. The guy behind Carter had a dashcam and stopped and gave us a copy of the video. Technology is pretty cool.

Carter kept saying "it's not my fault, it won't be a problem." I tried to explain to him that while it wasn't his fault it's still his problem and he's basically screwed because his car is total and he has to deal with insurance.

We went out yesterday looking for a new Honda Civic and there is a 10 month wait to buy any reasonably priced new car. We found a used Honda Accord for him but it is a 2017 and it cost more than a new car but he can't wait for a new car. The insurance did pay him more than his car cost new because it's so hard to buy a car right now. Good grief. 

I woke up the day after really grateful that it was only a car that we had to worry about and Carter wasn't injured.

His first brand new car is no more.

Florida car

 That's kind of a Florida wrap. The car arrived from Tallahassee. We had it shipped like AJ and Steph had their Kia shipped. We had no desire to drive across the country so we paid someone to deliver it. We considered leaving it at the beach but when a storm comes and the gulf surges water goes under the condos and the car would be ruined. We didn't have a place in Tallahassee to store it and it's not worth the expense of keeping a car there when we will probably go to Florida once or twice a year. 

AJ said today he feels like they never left and Florida is just a memory. I feel that way about most moves and travel. Once you are home it's like you never left. But they did leave and they have those experiences.
