Troubling day for COVID news for me. I learned I was thoughtlessly exposed to the virus at Church by someone whose family had the virus the week before, but felt like they were now well enough to come to Church. Their autistic 19 year old son often took his mask off. I did not know that they had had the virus until this afternoon. So frustrated. Then, in a separate instance, my daughter also learned that on Saturday night that she was exposed because the daughter of a friend came over to play and then the father tested positive today. I hate this virus and its effect on the lives of so many people! I took meals over this evening to another family that all have the virus. When will this end?!

message 27: by Kristie (new)

Kristie | 3595 comments I started the week off great, but then fell apart with Thanksgiving and didn't get back to into it for the last couple of days. Still had a decent reading total for me. I did manage to read both of my mini-challenge books in the first half of the week, so that was a bonus for me. :)
