Bah! Humbug.

Well, the plans were Christmas Eve brunch at my son's house, with all the siblings who could make it.  Then, back home for a while before 4:00 Christmas Eve mass, then home for the evening.  Christmas Day plans were a little altered anyway - casual late afternoon with the kids and granddaughter, stockings, soup 'n' sandwiches.  Then big family Christmas was planned for New Year's Day, since our youngest daughter is away, working as a nutrition intern at a college football bowl game in Orlando.

But - a positive Covid test this morning busted those plans all up.

I haven't had Covid since early January 2021, so this is round 2 for me.  Had a sore throat last night, and was more concerned that it might be strep, and I'd need to find a testing location and get an antibiotic on Christmas Eve.  But I did a Covid test first, and it was a big positive.  I have a slight sore throat, a little nasal congestion, and seem to be a bit more tired than usual, but that's it.  But, in the name of not spreading it around, plans today and probably tomorrow are scuttled.  

Oh well - the Christmas season was already extending by a week, so there's a silver (and gold) lining.  Now we just hope that no one else get it before New Year's Day.

So, Merry Christmas Eve everyone!  I'll be back with a couple other rambling posts before wrapping things up for the year.  I hope everyone has a wonderful holiday!
