We hung out in the morning and went to a beach where dad loves to spend time in his walker chair with a net collecting shells. We took the kids to a playground after. It was quite crowded.

We hung out for a bit in the morning and then went to the airport. We got into Toledo around 8 or so. Chas picked us up at Toledo Airport. We drove home and got in around 10. Pretty tired. The boys were alseep of course, so we just put them right into their cribs.

PM: 120' on the trainer. 159W. HR 129.

HR up a bit as expected. Maybe some slight lingering congestion from previous cold or something new. Decompressing from visiting parents and getting back into the swing of things. We had a really good visit. A memorable trip for sure.

AM: 6.2 miles before class, averaged 10:32. HR 140.

Felt a little sluggish and like there was some congestion I couldn't clear. Had an observation that I was nervous about and I hadn't see students in two classes, so it was weird, but the class went well overall. 

PM: 60' on the trainer. 216W. HR 152. 

Megan decided not to run, so I jumped on the trainer. Effort felt too high, but I just kept up with the programed workout. Tried clearing the crap out, but it felt stuck. Felt better overall, but felt a little foggy grading at night. And then  . . .

Started to feel not great in the morning and got very tired. I layed on the couch while watching the boys. Charlie buried me with some toys. I started to feel slight chills and fever. Exactly how I felt after the second COVID shot and the booster. Took a test just before lunch. Positive. Well, so marks Jason's almost three year streak with the MO$*EDHDJ FEHDND virus. I had a good run. Felt pretty rough throughout the day. Slept through the early afternoon I think. Then from when the boys went down to late evening. Stayed up for just a bit with Megan and then went back to bed until maybe 10 or so the next day.

Felt pretty crappy but better. Slept a fair amount. Ended up watching a little Netflix with Megan. I've been masking during the day and keeping some distance, but overall nothing too different from normal other than not sleeping in the same room. Boys are fine.

Better but still cruddy. Did some shoveling because we got 8-10 inches of snow. I threw snowballs at the window at the boys to make sure I could see them and they weren't killing each other. They really giggled, which I haven't heard in quite a few days. We made a snowman with the boys, which lightened my spirits a good deal. Felt a bit better. Tried to do some work, but it was hard with the brain fog. Had some wine and watched Netflix with Megan. Finished Dead to Me.
