Day 4 of family virus sweepstakes that we've won

It's actually more like day 4, but this is day 2 in-a-row for me to be home out of work. We'll be dousing the house with Lysol and Clorox wipes later in the day to at least kill off anything that might still be lingering around and hopefully we'll be out of self-isolation by Saturday or Sunday the latest. Of course, with the kids who can and will get into anything that isn't clean it's really hard and you find yourself exhausted, and moving in circles to revisit where you'd thought that you've cleaned and picked-up.

Marni is still teaching her classes which is why I am home in addition to the fact that I also feel like crap as well. I'm lucky to be able to stay home to care for all of them and use my sick leave to get paid. I've made plans to be out tomorrow as well, but have to report on Saturday unless I need a visit to the walk-in clinic for some respiratory relief and a note.

Today's Providence Journal has a small article about the two strains of viruses that are spread throughout RI and the schools, one is intestinal (no thanks) and the other is respiratory which is what we all seem to have.
