Early Sunday morning we received our first significant snow of the new year with close to five inches falling overnight. Doug was up shoveling first thing this morning with plans to go to CVS once it opened. Cameron's friends had all tested positive after their birthday gathering last Monday night. Cameron was not showing any symptoms, but wanted to know his Covid status before he went to the girls' basketball sectional watch party this afternoon. Doug and I also needed to know if he was positive for Covid, because I wouldn't be able to fly this week if I had been exposed. Thankfully, Doug was able to get down our road and find a rapid test before lunchtime. Cameron soon tested negative and quickly texted all of his friends to let them know that he "had USA flowing through his blood."
Today was more of the same, only this time it was me out shoveling and Meg taking the Covid test. Friends of hers from Bible study had tested positive and/or had been sick at their meeting last week. Meg also woke up sick with head cold symptoms this morning complete with a bad sore throat. She was relieved to see that her test result was the same as Cameron, although she didn't announce it quite the same. While Meg was busy getting tested, I spent my afternoon shoveling as we got another two to three inches of snow today. Fortunately, it did not impact our day. Cameron and Doug were still able to make it to school and work, and I even got in a short shopping trip to Walmart this morning. Hopefully, today ends both the snowfall and our Covid test runs. I have a feeling, however, that there will be more to come this winter season.
