COVID-19 Quarantine: Days 366-370

Day 366: 3-14-21 (Sunday)

The Johnson Originals: Lori, Brett, and Tyler

Today is Lori's birthday! She is an awesome big sister and I am so lucky to have this sister-in-law in my corner!! We miss her! DC seems extra far away. Especially during COVID.

Today was a busy day for me with two ward conferences and I sat in and helped with Bryn's YW lesson in our ward too. So I technically went to three wards. I had to book it from the last ward conference to get to Bryn's class in our building just in the nick of time. It was really fun to sit with her class of girls. They were all just my primary kids and it was so fun to be with them again. They are all so cute and enthusiastic!! I have also really enjoyed visiting different wards. They all have their own vibe and feel. It has been really interesting.

We got some yard work done today. We did a little spring cleaning in the backyard and had a good FHE.

Day 367: 3-15-21 (Monday)

Today was a good day! There was a lot going on! We got some resolution in an area that has been super stressful. This has been a long time coming and it was so nice to get. Baby steps.

Tyler had an appointment with his endocrinologist. His new looping system is doing amazing things for him! His doctor said to keep doing what he is doing. He had his lowest A1C ever!! His doctor is in Idaho and they, as of this week, are offering the vaccine to all of their patients. She was thrilled that Tyler had already received the first dose. She is incredulous at the way WA state is handling things. 

We had a good video chat with Kameron today. He is doing okay and staying busy. His companion continues to be a challenge but Kam said he is just trying to focus on the positive and is counting down the days until transfers.

Bryn's school was in lockdown today due to a bomb threat in the area. I have NOT missed this! It has been a relief not to have to worry about school shootings and lockdowns. We also got a notice of second case of COVID at the high school. Luckily no one near Ailey. It sucks that the second dose of the vaccine is still several weeks away!!

Day 368: 3-16-21 (Tuesday)

Not much happened today. The girls were very busy with homework on their off day. Yay. Finally.

I am busy prepping for the Spring Open House and Tyler was busy with work too.

Now that we are partially vaccinated and will have our 2nd dose in a few weeks; we started planning a family trip to Las Vegas to see my father. Just the idea of a trip is THRILLING!! We won't get our 2nd vaccinations until AFTER Spring Break...bummer... so we will do our family's Spring Break a few weeks later.

Day 369: 3-17-21 (Wednesday)

Today is St. Patrick's Day!! 

The girls left for school in varying levels of festivity:

Those are Kam's socks! LOL. To his great sadness his Mission President doesn't allow wild socks and he had to leave his EXTENSIVE collection at home. :)

The girls requested Green Lunches and I was happy to comply. We also got our traditional McDonald's meal for dinner. Filet-O-Fish Meals with Shamrock Shakes. They loved it!

Bryn started her online "music club" which is how they are teaching band/orchestra now. Once the kids went back to in person school they were told that there would be no more band or strings classes for the rest of the year. They started a Zoom Music Club for the students once a week to keep learning their instruments. Sad. But I guess it is good that she still can continue to play in some way.

I had a stake meeting about a struggling primary presidency. My heart goes out to all of the Primary Presidents right now.

Day 370: 3-18-21 (Thursday)

We bought our plane tickets and booked our hotel for our upcoming trip to Las Vegas. Sweet! We cannot wait!! The girls are so excited.

I had a gigantic booth redo in CDA for the Spring Open House. It is this weekend. It took hours. But the booth looks fresh and spring-like and a Easter-y too! 

Reilly and Hunter saved the day. Ailey and the dance team performed at half-time and parents of dancers were finally allowed to go watch. Since Tyler and I had to be in CDA; they filled in for us and even took Ailey out for ice cream afterwards and brought some home to Brynnie too. They were great and we really appreciate their willingness to jump in and help out when needed!!

Go Ailey!!
