Is There Such a Thing as Too Much Rest?

Well here we are. Day one out of 10 of quarantining since I tested positive yesterday for Covid-19. The above photo has been my primary view for the day. I didn’t sleep well last night, mostly because I just felt uncomfortable and kept waking up in a cold sweat.

I’m happy to say my fever is gone and has been for about two days, but I’m just so damn tired. It feels like I’m in a haze, like I constantly need to lie down. Still, I’m trying to get up and move around every now and then per PJ and my mother-in-law’s advice (they are the absolute best people to turn to when you’re sick, btw. They seem to know everything when it comes to taking care of someone!).

I’ve been keeping my distance from the kids, not letting them in our room and not getting close to them. I let their teachers know this morning they won’t be returning to school for 10 days, the recommended time that they stay out. Between them at home and me not really being able to help out around the house, I feel like this is going to be a very long 10 days.

PJ took the kids and the little dogs to the farm to get out of the house and get some fresh air. He’s sending me pictures of them roasting hot dogs and of our new project out there (can’t wait to share!!) and I find myself missing them, even after only a few hours. Before he left, he asked if I wanted to come and drive separately, but I didn’t have it in me. I run out of steam pretty fast right now. So I spent a few hours cleaning up around the house with my face mask on as I sprayed down surfaces.

Right now I’m in bed editing an upcoming YouTube video and watching the new 9/11 documentary on Netflix Turning Point:9/11 and the War on Terror. Have you seen it yet? It’s so good. My heart breaks every time I watch something about that day, but I also never want to forget it (how could I? How could any of us?). It’s wild that it’s been 20 years, isn’t it? At the same time, it feels like 100 years ago because it’s hard to remember how things were before 9/11/01.

Anyway, I’m getting back to work, but I wanted to thank everyone for the sweet well wishes on yesterday’s post. It means a lot.

Hope you’re staying well!
