So much for my Christmas plans :'(
We met with hubby's family today. All of us are fully vaccinated, most of us already boostered. Still, we all took a Covid self-test this morning, just to be sure. All negative.
While being at the family gathering I got a call from my boss, telling me one of my coworkers has Covid. He does have flu-like symptons and he tested positive in one of those official, accurate tests (PCR test, dunno what you call them). I had direct contact with him on Thursday.
Tomorrow we had planned to meet with my relatives, but I will stay at home now. My aunt will be there, she's well over 80 and in fragile health. Not risking it, but I will miss my beloved relatives :'(
And as if that weren't enough, I have a flat tire on my car, not knowing where it comes from. I'm close to saying this is an effin' bad Christmas, but so far we're all healthy and I know I'm happy to have a large loving family, even if I can't see them tomorrow.
Still sucks.

:'( >:(
Well, at least you got to celebrate with one side of the family. I hope you don't get that nasty thing yourself. Hope you can at least have a video chat with them.

I know exactly how you feel, my family went through this last year. All of us separated, as we all tested positive on December 23rd.
It does suck now, but when the all clear is given, you'll be able to see them again. It's not the same, but you will still have that option.

This Christmas keeps getting worse :'(
Last night we found a swelling at my dog's mammary line. Went to the vet today: it's a tumor. We know nothing more than that for now, since the vet said we have to get rid of the swelling first, before he can see/do more.
Now we wait for the next 10 days while giving her antibiotics and other medication.
Next appointment will be on Jan. 6th. My son's big, final school exams start on January 7th. He has been taking this news very hard already, even if nothing is "too late" yet. God, I wouldn't know what to do or to say to him if we got bad news on Jan 6th. :'(
Sason:
So sorry for your fucked up Xmas this year, Chrissi :-*
You did the right thing to stay home, but of course it still sucks.
Hopefully you didn't catch it from your coworker, good thing you're triple vaxxed.
And your poor son, preparing for his final exams while your dog is sick :(
If you do get bad news on the 6th, can you instead tell him that the vet still doesn't know any specifics?
I don't mean that lying is a good thing in general, but in this case it would be just to help him keep focused on the 7th.
Good luck to all of you :-*
