Dear Family,
This week started off quite nicely. I had Monday and Tuesday off so that was a
great time to rest from last week's overtime schedule.
Adriel came over Monday morning
to sew curtains on my sewing machine while I covered library books for the
church. We had a wonderful time chatting
as we worked on our projects.
I wore my bright blue Rooted tee
shirt and my bright red pants for bowling with the Junior High group. Seth asked, “Are you going out like
that?” I smiled and said, “Yes, I
am!” He was chagrined and said, “It’s
your funeral.” This made me laugh and I
responded, “Perfect, this is how I want to be dressed for my funeral.” Seth’s final word, “It will be a closed
casket.”
Monday afternoon the youth group
gathered for bowling. We had fun even
though Bobby ended up bowling for 4 people (including me) who lost interest in
the game but were enjoying talking with each other. (My back gave me pain so I was out.) I enjoyed seeing how fast they could throw
the ball. I think the fastest from our
group was 19.1 miles an hour.
Bobby is excited about his new
board game. I was very glad the first
night we tried it he let us quit midway.
My brain felt like it was going to explode.
Monday after bowling I received
my 3rd COVID shot and a flu shot.
Tuesday I rested from the horrible achy muscles. I did go to youth group that night even
though I felt horrible simply because I always go, the symptoms from the shots
are just that – symptoms from the shots.
And Bobby is short-handed with Rich being gone.
I went to work Wednesday even
though I wasn’t 100% and Youth Group that night as well. But . . I felt chills and left early because
I wasn’t feeling right. Thursday morning
I had a fever! I was getting worse after
the shots, not better. I was so tired I
decided to take a day off, get tested, and put my fears to rest.
My fear became reality. I tested positive for Covid 2 days after I
got the booster shot. Ugh! Bobby came home. Seth stayed home. We are now quarantined.
I am thankful for so many people
who offered to do a grocery store run.
To most, I answered, “No need.”
But to several, I asked for one thing.
Church family, you are so generous!
The love we feel when one thing turns into about 8 of the same thing or
Chicken noodle soup turns into 10 cups, crackers, and apples. Awwww!
Thank you!! We feel very loved.
Bobby and Seth have to stay home
and deal with the boredom while I sleep through this whole quarantine. They also have the impending doom of, “Will I
get it.” Thank you for praying for our
healing. So far this is just a horrible
cold and nothing serious. Thank you for
your care, your prayers, and your love.
Bobby and Seth are now stuffy, coughing and have chills. They went to get tested Sunday and the
results will come by e-mail in a couple days.
Please pray for them.
May God bless you and keep
you. May His face shine upon you. May you feel his care, love, and
compassion. May you know that in all
things, sickness and in health you are loved, treasured, and cared for.
Much love,
Cristy
