Weekend Update
Oct. 10th, 2020 06:34 pmThis weekend is not going as hoped for. Danae is feeling sick and not up to having the online belated birthday party we've been planning. She's rescheduling, but is sad about disappointing people. I am glad that she is making self-care a priority. That's important, and can be hard to to.
(I should note that Miriam does not have Covid. It cost €70 via a special taxi ride to the testing center and back to find out, but it seemed responsible and necessary. It's just a regular kind of ick. We've been doing our best (and a lot!) to keep from being exposed to anything, but if something had to get us, I'm glad it's something less dangerous.)
I am having some physical discomfort (I'll spare you the indelicate details unless you're curious and ask) that's keeping me fairly inactive. I want to clean up the place, but I don't want to aggravate the issue so I'll probably wait a day or two.
I'm still anxious about school even though it seems to be going well so far. It's hard for me to believe it's going well, or believe that I'm really caught up on everything, or that I haven't missed some assignment that I should be working on but am unaware of. But I'm going to do some more work on a couple school-related projects today and tomorrow.
On the plus side, we ordered ingredients to make chocolate chip cookies. I made them for her birthday and they were tasty! We had to order chocolate bars and break them up into bits for the cookies because chocolate chips don't seem to really be a thing here.
