Happy Homemaker 2020-09-20

Good morning!

After 8 days of waiting, my husband got a negatif result for his covid-testing... meanwhile we did not go out (he worked from home even though it is not the ideal job for that) and we did not see the kids either.

We got to see my grandson on Friday night - he came over for supper after his daycare.

Saturday morning my husband and I went to work on my son's garage (the back-siding of the garage is not finished).  Kids had a brunch at her father's house.  They stopped by for lunch.  In the afternoon my husband and son worked on the garage and daughter-in-law got some sleep (she has been feeling nauseous and vomiting the last few days with this pregnancy).  I stayed home with Xavier.  They came for supper and left afterwards to rest some.  Xavier stayed the night with us.

Sunday - my husband spent the morning at my son's house with him.  They all arrived for lunch here and left with Xavier after lunch.  We went out for supper for some pizza.. maybe the last time for awhile, as it was announced that we are now going in the orange zone for covid-19 (green, yellow, orange and red are the zones).

Orange means:  bars don't serve liquor after 11:00 pm, they close at midnight.  No more than 6 people inside a house (2 different adresses), 1 person per family to go in the groceries and stores, .... too many new cases in the last 2 weeks.

Our nights are getting cold!  We have had 1C last week and it's mostly around 3-4 degrees celsius.

How I am feeling this morning
Slept so-so but decided to get up early.  Lit the fairy lights in the LR and the kitchen and put on some music, then took a hot bath and read a little.  will have breakfast in a few minutes.

On my mind

Daycare are on unlimited strike so will try to help the kids today and one other day this week.  

Govt exams this upcoming saturday.... ugggggggggggg!!

On the breakfast plate

Probably some toasts with bananas and almond milk.
