Inevitable

 I think I mentioned the surprise birthday party my SIL had for my FIL last Sunday. 17 people. 17!! I knew it was inevitable - we were exposed. My SIL has covid. We found out last night. And I suspect our experience is typical: you are supposed to quarantine 5 days after exposure, then if you have no symptoms you can go out as long as you are masked. But of course it was 5 days before we found out we were exposed! (She took a test Wednesday evening). T has to go into the office, which he has been doing all week. Thankfully neither of us have symptoms. He called his boss last night and she gave him the green light to go in (masked of course).  Given the complete lack of masks and the positivity rate in our state, I suspect herd immunity is around the corner if the medical system can hold up under the strain. 

On that note, my mom decided to postpone her knee replacement surgery that was scheduled for 3 Feb. She doesn't feel good about having it done right now and I don't blame her. She's looking at late April. 

It's Jan 7 and I have done yoga 6 times. It's not getting more fun or easier, but that's just too bad. I need to keep at it if I want any progress. So I will keep taking my proverbial medicine. It's 20 (or so) minutes a day - I need to stop being a Wendy Whiner and just do it.

Food has continued to be pretty much on point and I am down 2.4 pounds this week - go me!

Take care.

Congrats on the loss. I had a .6 pound loss. As for exposure, I think everyone has been. According to CDC 82% have had at least one shot. I think we are getting closer to herd immunity. I just work on what I can control. Getting to a normal weight, exercising, adequate rest, and following the recommendations we follow every year for flu. Hand washing, avoiding crowds, 6 feet. I wear mask when I go to the stores. We don't eat out much or travel. I pray & have faith things will get better. I am working toward another loss next week.
