December 14, 2021 – Day 2

I didn’t sleep well last night. Too much worry and anxiety for that. When I got up, I felt like I woke up to a bad dream, but it was still my reality. I hadn’t dreamt up my child’s COVID status. It was still very real.

Day 2 was a blur. I remember crying on and off. The DuPage County Health Department called, knowing they were likely not the right county to talk to me. That call hit hard because it made everything just that more real. I managed to make it through another work day, however, very pissy. I had too much more important things going on in my home and yet, I was still working. #JustATadResentful #IWontDoItAgain

Cadence did spike a fever last night and into today. I went ahead and medicated. We will get ahead of this the best we can. She was still eating pretty good, though. I surprised her with 2 apple cider donuts from the Orchard. I froze a dozen because we weren’t going to eat them all. Good thing I did because this brought a smile to her face. It was even better when she said she could smell and taste the deliciousness. I guess I have to call that a win! #SometimesItsTheLittleThings

Now that day 2 is done. Come on day 3!
