Notes from my week.
- Covid hit our family this week. Our oldest daughter tested positive, and we were all sick within a few days. I felt like I was sick most of the week but continued testing negative until I finally got a positive test on Friday. Fortunately, I believe we had the less-severe omicron variant and we were all fully vaccinated, so our sickness was fairly mild. In fact, a day or two after the kids were sick, it would have been difficult to tell they had been sick at all. The biggest impact was the kids being out of school and missing out on some social activities.
- Continued making branding updates to the Tallgrass at The Well website.
- Attended the virtual Vue.js Nation conference.
- Made a few fixes and content updates to my website.
- Every company seems to have an end-of-the-year wrap-up, so it shouldn’t have been a surprise to see my PlayStation wrap-up show up in my inbox. I even got one from our electric company.
