Hello! I’m alive. Thank you all for your well wishes -- it's been a tough few days in our house, but everyone is doing fine & we're pretty much recovered from whatever we were sick with earlier this week. *sigh of relief*
I don't really know if we had COVID, but it seems like we may have, based on the symptoms B and I had. Regardless, it sucked. Big time. We're lucky that we both were partially vaccinated, so it only lasted a few days. The baby thankfully didn't ever really have any symptoms of anything, except for a tiny little cough, so that's what I was really most concerned with. I was toying with the idea of getting us COVID tested, but since the fevers broke after 24 hours and we're both almost entirely better already, it seems unnecessary to now go and be around a bunch of other people who think they might have it, just to get tested.
Today marks one week since The Cauterization, and we actually (..wait for it..) were able to do some sexy stuff! I'm not 100% healed, but hey. I'll take it.
This week has stalled the weight loss efforts a bit, though I'm still giving it an honest try and I did see 203 on the scale the other morning!! So close to onederland. With not being able to work out so that my lady bits can recover, I've been doing lots of cooking.. baked ziti and beef stew were among the favorites. The weather has been wonderful, so we've been grilling a lot also. We threw some steaks on the grill last weekend when my parents were here and I got to enjoy a glass of red wine with my dinner! Amazing. My mom also helped fold laundry and took care of the baby for a while so we could get some extra sleep... once we're all fully vaccinated, I'm going to be inviting them over for many, many more visits. So nice having the extra hands.
Oh, and we bought a rug for in front of the kitchen island. Casper thinks it's just the best damn thing that's ever happened to him. :D
