It's been a rough couple of weeks. I contracted covid. I am pretty sure I got it from an exercise class I took. I was masked for the most part, with the exception of drinking water, but not everyone was. Lots of huffing and puffing. Not the best idea on my part.

My wife ended up getting it too and my youngest child. We have all been quarantined. it ends on Thursday. My kids have started a new school and are having to join remotely at first. It's not ideal. Our childcare provider can't help us so we were back to home schooling two kids, watching a third and trying to run our two companies while being very sick.

Breakthrough infections are more common than people think. The symptoms are also very real. I have never been so tired. My head ached, I coughed a lot and my brain was foggy. There were two days where I must have slept 16 hours. It was debilitating.

Luckily the kids are all doing well. My wife was also very sick. We are recovered though. Hopefully, my wife and I are now superhuman.
