COVID-19 Update: COVID all around

After two and a half years, I ended up getting COVID-19. As you can see, not a lot of pictures or fanfare. I had traveled to Denver, then we went to Bryce Canyon and then I went to Minneapolis to do our Assurance Advantage Level 1 training. 

Side note: I love helping with training and really enjoy doing that as part of my job. 

I got a little bit of sore throat on Wednesday night, but did not really think much of it. I felt pretty good on Thursday and then on Friday after the training I was just really tired. I could barely sit up, but I just thought I was tired from the week. 

I got home that night and just fell asleep pretty quick. Saturday I actually was feeling better that morning, but by that night I felt so horrible. I was super sick that night and Shantel was definitely worried about me. Then I was sick all day Sunday and still pretty sick on Monday. Finally on Tuesday I felt better, but of course had to work from home the rest of the week. 


 Unfortunately, I also ended up getting Shantel sick and she had COVID-19 too. This resulted in having to quarantine and she ended up missing some things she really did not want to miss. She thinks she had COVID back in May and that is why she was not as sick as I was this time. I could go into details on all the COVID stuff - but it's probably enough to say we did not love having to quarantine, but in truth- it was not the worst time to get COVID. Part of us felt like it might be good to get it right now in August, so we were not as worried about getting it a few weeks later before or on our Kauai trip.
