Life as Usual

 Grace didn't mind 

her week-long exile 

kept short by a negative result

But getting the pink band cut off

nearly took all day!


We're glad that adventure is done

Even more so that the one positive

in the classroom resulted in no new positives at all

No harm done

but let's not have another scare please.


Mom was sick instead

but strangely so

two weeks of dead tiredness

and a tickle in the throat 

that never grew into cough or cold


But now we're back to normal

school work in the mornings

soccer and song writing in the afternoons

longing for some beach time

waiting for lack of rain


Advent preparations

Christmas ideas bandied about

An added dose of inventiveness needed

under an expectation of lockdown extension

until the new year
