I was posting in the lockdown thread but thought I'd move over to my own. The kids and I are doing good, thankfully we fought off the covid virus and are doing good but it has been like living with raccoons in the house lol. I got an order from the health dept. that we have to stay in quarantine 1 more week. My symptoms were mostly mild except a tight chest and a strange cough like I've never experienced, super dry and burning with no productivity at all. Ex described the same thing to me tonight so she has it too, she didn't sound too good so she's going to check in periodically. The symptoms also seemed to come and go over short periods. Thankfully it didn't affect the kids as much. I was worried about S because of the pneumonia/surgery a couple years ago but he never had chest pain or cough. I haven't done any cardio yet but I'm betting things aren't going to be the same, my chest just feels a little different now.
I have almost daily contact w/ex (before quarantine) and multiple times a day on the phone the last couple weeks which has been good for the most part. She has snapped and yelled at me a couple times lately from being stressed but has apologized immediately (I don't react), so that's something new. There's a lot of anger right under the surface but I think she's trying. She mentions counseling a lot and I think it's helping. I suspect she broke up with her bf as she was really out of sorts for a little bit. She also told me right before the outbreak that she thought she had cancer and was making an appointment but didn't once things started going crazy. She was really worried and now seems to be sticking her head in the sand about it. From what she told me she should be worried. IDK what to do but I bother her about it often. I'm thinking about saying something to ex step mil or ex mil because I think I may be the only one she has told.
Other than being sick we're doing good. We're starting to get some plans for school and structure to get the kids back on track as much as possible but from the looks of things they're going to be online the rest of the year.
