Against my advice, my family gathered for Christmas. I didn't join them, because I wanted no part in getting them sick. 

• My mom's side of the family had 17 people in their Christmas day gathering (including my parents). So far, 6 have tested positive for covid, and the other 11 either haven't been tested or are waiting for results. 
• My dad's side had 2 gatherings, and my parents went to both. The first one on Christmas Eve was only 6 people, and the second one on New Years' was 11-15 people. No one has gotten tested yet from that group. If my parents are positive, they may have spread it from one side of the family to the other. 
• My oldest sister and her children didn't join, because she and at least one of the children have tested positive (I say children, but they range from 14-32 years old and have their own children)

Today is also the anniversary of my brother's death. 

Yesterday my mom found out that two of her friends died from covid this week. Her best friend is also very ill from it. She's doing well enough that she's not in the hospital, but poorly enough that she is bedridden.

I'm having a horrible day, so my hubby took me to get comfort food. I plan to also give myself an at-home spa evening, because I need some god damn comfort.
