Stacking the Shelves #200 Sunday Post #197 Sunday Salon #191

Hey, my bookish friends!!  How are you all doing? This week was better than last week, but still busy. I ended up having Monday off because of the weather, Tuesday I ran a bunch of errands. When I got home my son was running a temp of 103.3, so off to the doctor he went, he tested positive for Covid 😭. He had started getting a sore throat Sunday, of course we didn't distance or anything, because Covid was the furthest thing from our minds. Wednesday found at CVS for soft tissues and more Covid tests (I was negative), as of right now, my husband and I are okay. I already had Thursday and Friday scheduled off from work, which worked out great because I could not risk taking the germs into their house (I am a nanny). Thursday I had a follow-up appointment for the aneurysm, all went well and I will have a new scan a year from now. Friday my husband and I went on a field trip to look at a home builder to see if it is an option for our next home, and had a nice lunch at a local coffee shop. This weekend we will mostly be laying low (and continuing to pray we don't get sick). What are you up to?

  4. COVID is still hanging around. We had a scare two weeks ago and tested negative but still felt bad, both of us. I guess that are other bugs than COVID but it is the one we can test for at home. Hope you don't get it.

  5. I hope you manage to avoid infection, though most people prefer to pretend otherwise it’s still a huge risk, especially for vulnerable people.
    I’m glad to know your appointment went well.

    Wishing you a healthy reading week

  11. I'm sending good thoughts and prayers that no one else gets sick. I hope the builder works out. And I'm glad you won't have to see the doctor again for a year.

    Five books read is a great week!
