Do you have any idea where he caught strep?
This prompted me to look to see how long the contagious period is in Strep throat. "Strep throat is contagious for about 2-3 weeks in individuals that do not take antibiotics." So there is no telling where DS9 picked up the germ. The pediatrician said DS9 would be fine to be around people after a day of being on antibodies. Hopefully, tomorrow we can resume normal activities.
With an unexpected day at home, I am looking around full of possibilities. There is so much I would like to do but I need to limit my focus. I think I have it narrowed down to 3 projects.
** Plant grass seed in the front yard. Earlier this year I had a dump truck load of topsoil delivered and spread. I've been waiting for the night time temps to warm up so I could plant grass. I think it will be okay to do now.
** Paint the front porch post, decorations, and doorway. This means detaching the handrails that connect to the posts. It also means sanding the painted wood because the paint has started to pull away from the wood in spots. The actual painting will be easy. Getting it prep'd to paint will be a PITA. It will also require us to use a different entry door for the next day or so while the paint dries.
** Trim and shape about 30' of waist & shoulder-high shrubs. The long line of shrubs looks so neat when they are manicured. But they are looking shabby now with the new spring growth popping out everywhere.
1. Know what you want.
2. Go after it relentlessly.
