Out of quarantine

Having covid, you are supposed to isolate/quarantine for 10 days if you test positive and 14 days if you have been exposed. Mark and I stayed in for the two weeks. It was hard, no running to the store, no seeing friends, going to church, eating out, taking Christmas goodies to the neighbors. We were homebound. I was never sick, I had my energy and went about the day as normal. I enjoyed playing toys and fetch with Sage and letting her sit on my lap. I just felt stuck. I don't see how people can isolate in their homes in fear of this virus. How could you stay home, never go out to a restaurant, buy groceries online and pick them up in your car, watch church online, and zoom your appointments and meetings? Ugh, it is so not healthy. 2 weeks was all I could stand and after that I was ready to get out! To play it safe around my parents, we waited the 14 days. We celebrated Christmas with Mark's family first on the 26th and my family on the 27th. On the 28th Jayden and I went on a shopping outing. I couldn't wait to break out of quarantine. Tuesday we were expecting a storm and Wednesday Jayden was flying to Texas. This would be the only chance for me to hang out and shop with my girl. I had not put a mask on in the 2 weeks and wearing them again and seeing them in public still feels so foreign to me. I will never get used to them. I have the perfect ornament for my tree, 2020 Stink Stank Stunk as The Grinch would state from Dr. Seuss.

Volleyball

Jake went with Karen after school and to the field. My mom, Luke and I went to Jayden’s Volleyball game in Coon Rapids. They played 4 games all losses. They were not having a good serving night and that really hurt them. Still enjoy watching them learn.

Treasures

In the morning we took 3 of our 4 cats to the vet for shots. The 4 th cat decided to wander this morning missing his appointment. On our way out, we passed a rummage sale and stopped. We got some major treasures for next to nothing. The church ladies were so fascinated with Jacob's interest in old radios and televisions. They just adored him and marked the prices way down and gave him some for free. We loaded up on kids books, got some board games, and a few other treasures. Jake ended up with a mini television , an old radio and Polaroid camera. After lunch the boys went straight to the field. My friend Carolyn and her daughter Tabby came to ride horses. What started out to be a chilly day 45, turned out nice and sunny. We had coats on, but it was a great day to ride. We rode through our hay patch and along the waterway near the highway. It was a great way to spend the afternoon.

Dayton Fun Show

It has been cold and windy for the past week, highs of 45. Today the sun was shinning and it got up to 60. There was one final horse show for the season at the Dayton arena. We took Jayden and Jacob while Luke went with Grammer and Po and was supposed to come later. It was a fun show geared for practice and the kids. Jake did really well on Winnie, he rode in walk and trot, barrels, and poles. He did some loping. Jayden did pleasure, milk can, barrels, poles, and a jumping event. Her horse Tex really jumps high for the jump event. Down in the arena, there was'nt any wind and the sun came out. It made for a nice day.
