Now that we're all fully vaccinated, my parents came up to visit us. I am happy to see them, and it's definitely been way too long!

However, they did manage to stress me out enough yesterday that I am having an arthritis flare. I weigh 2lbs less than the day before, am running a fever of 99.8, and my joints hurt so badly I can barely walk. 

So, although I missed them dearly, I am happy they will be going home tomorrow so I can recover a little bit before going to work on Wednesday. I am going to try to hide how shitty I'm feeling because I don't want them to feel guilty. I'm not sure how I'm going to do that while avoiding more stress... but we shall see!
