On Monday we traveled home from Florida. We had no complications! Still, it was a long day. We were all exhausted, but Beth especially. She had to walk really slowly and take many breaks to get back to our car. I was really worried about her. We all were. Still, we made it home. Savannah was happy to see us!

On Tuesday I emailed Beth's endocrinologist to see if anything is going on with the chemicals in her body to cause her fatigue and she ordered some bloodwork. Ben went back to school and was super happy to be back! Beth did go to school. We included a caffeinated cola in her lunch and she made it through 3/4 of the day! She was able to do some homework when she got home, too. Ben went to karate that evening.

On Wednesday morning we got Beth's fasting bloodwork done before school, had some breakfast, and made it to class only 15 minutes late. Then she made it through all of school and a rehearsal for Newsies (at half speed). Thank you Dr. Pepper! That night Kevin had to do meetings for the YSA ward even though he was feeling really sick. Beth, Ben, and I went to our ward's trunk or treat and had chili on an unexpectedly warm night. It was really fun.

On Thursday, Beth couldn't quite make it up for her first period class. She made it to school by lunchtime, though, and went to rehearsal. Ben went to karate that evening. During the day, I got to go to my first group supervision at Center for Hope (where I'll be doing my internship in December) and it was fun and I'm really excited to get started. Kevin went to a doctor because he was feeling worse and worse. Turns out he has COVID.

On Friday, Beth made it to all of school and rehearsal again. She also brought home her electronic baby for the biggest assignment of the semester in her child development class. She was dragging by Friday night but had promised a friend to come over and carve pumpkins. Ben had a friend over after school Friday and they did electronic games all afternoon and evening. Kevin and I watched a movie from opposite sides of the room.

On Saturday, Beth felt awful and she'd been up three times in the night with the baby. She tried to do homework but mostly felt miserable and cried when the baby cried. So now we're wondering, does Beth have COVID? Ugh. Not helpful. Ben had a good day hanging out with friends every moment. Kevin started to feel better. I got out of the house to run some errands. In the evening we watched a movie.

Today is Sunday. Beth is feeling better. Yay! Kevin is feeling better. Yay! Neither is 100%. Savannah and I have headaches and a cough, but that could be from anything, right? Ben is great. We all stayed home from church because COVID is so scary. I'm not sure what we will decide tomorrow.

On a side note, Savannah is doing great at her new job. She sews standing up everyday from 6 to 2:30. She's getting faster. She's making friends. She's getting used to a new sleep schedule. So far, it seems like a great thing!
