Gosh, a lot has happened since I put up a substantial post — and yet, at the same time, very little has happened. I’m not going to try to catch us up, besides mentioning that at the end of July we thought Benji might have COVID. He spiked a fever four days after attending an outdoor birthday party for one of the kids in his “play pod,” or whatever you might call it.
Happily, our doctor’s office got him tested promptly and we received results 36 hours later: Negative. Still, the doctor recommended we quarantine ourselves for the next 10 days just in case, since the test results aren’t real reliable. Which raises the question of why we bothered to get the test.
