With Hannah leaving yesterday for year 2 at Olivet Nazarene University, today was Sarah's first official day as a newly minted "only child".
All I can say is that this is going to take some getting used to. The house feels quiet and empty.
Melissa and I were disappointed that with our Covid diagnoses we weren't able to travel the three hours to Olivet with Hannah yesterday and help her move into a new apartment.
The timing of her own Covid diagnosis worked out perfectly for Hannah, though. She had been worrying that she might catch Covid sometime during the semester - or even just get contact traced - and have to miss a bunch of classes. And apparently the professors are not planning to go out of their way to help students who have to quarantine. (It's all part of the pressure the school is trying to put on everyone to get vaccinated.)
Anyway, since she was heading back to school just two weeks past her initial symptoms, it means Hannah is safe for at least 90 days from catching Covid again and won't even have to do the weekly spit tests that she was dreading.
As for the rest of us - I am taking one more day home from school and then planning to return on Tuesday. Melissa is planning to work from home this week. And Sarah is ready to go back to school, assuming we can prove that she is past the contagious stage.
