knit1purr2I spent the last 6 weeks saying I just need to make it through October. October was when hubs was out of town for a week and then I had my week long conference. The rest of the year would be mostly normal stuff so I just had to get through October.
But then one of the speakers from my conference got COVID so we had to reschedule that for November and my oldest kid brought something home from school. It seems like a cold (we have been testing negative for COVID) and it has been a slow onset unlike flu which tends to hit like a brick wall. But he has been home all week with a cough and a runny nose and a bit of a fever for a few days. Thankfully hubs and I have been able to work from home and adjust our work hours to take care of the sick kid and the baby. Cause we aren't going to send the baby to infect the grandparents.
And yes the baby has started getting snotty and coughing. So now I have two kids who are sneezing all over me and super clingy. I know it is just a matter of time before I get sick. So I am hoping that I can finish up my convention wrap up stuff before I get taken down.
On the brighter side the baby got his first COVID shot today. He will get the second one in early December. And this let me let out a breath I didn't realize I was holding. Other good things, my MIL has brought over a few dinners which is good because we still need to eat. I should be getting a raise come January.
Not quite sure what my work situation will be in January. I will have a job and will be getting a raise, those are for sure. Also I will no longer have a physical office to go to. I will be full time work from home. What I don't know is if I will be still employed my the same organization or if I will have gotten absorbed into a different organization (either a small one or a larger one). I may have some answers about that by next week, but I am not going to worry about that cause there is absolutely nothing I can do about that and I have enough on my plate.
Other fun news. Hubs and I decided to splurge and buy one of the fancy automatic litter boxes as that has become a very frustrating thing in our lives. The cats have gotten picky about the litter boxes and I am tired of cleaning up their messes in the living room. Here is hoping that it is worth it. Time for me to get some sleep. I have a meeting at 11 and I have no idea what shape the kids will be in tomorrow morning.
