Negative

I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner.

One of our friends in our immediate circle tested positive for COVID.

Two days after we all hung out for NYE. 

Luckily, his symptoms were relatively mild - he did miss an entire week of work though.

Then two of his kids got it.

His wife and their other two kids are still negative.

Steve and I tested negative on Tuesday/Wednesday this week. 

Neither of us have any symptoms whatsoever.

The girls had to be tested (at home) when they got home from school Monday because it was their first day back from break. 

They were both negative. 

So we're just kind of waiting it out.

Since we're both boostered, we don't have to quarantine. 

It's been 8 days since our exposure. 

The CDC says that symptoms can appear 2 - 14 days after exposure. 

I'm taking every precaution because my 40th birthday trip is coming up and I'll be damned if we miss it because one or both of us have COVID. 

I'm holding my breath until the 14 days is up. 

It's been 10 days since exposure and our family is still doing well. No symptoms of any sort.

We don't plan on testing unless we develop symptoms.

Once we pass the 14 day mark (Friday)m, I'll be able to stop holding my breath.

Our trip is in 2 weeks and 2 days.
