Season Holidays

 Christmas was a CT Gangwer family affair.  After working my normal air shift Christmas day, I went to Lizzy and Stas's house.  Tammy was already there as they had picked her up earlier in the day.  We opened our presents and then had Chinese for dinner.  After dinner, we played an escape room type game that took us into the early evening to finish.  

New Year's Eve saw Tammy and I in bed before 8pm.  I was working the early shift at work and had to leave the house at 3:30am New Year's Day.  After getting off work at 9am, I picked Tammy up, and we headed to VT for the annual White Elephant featuring a catered meal from Chiptole.  Lizzy and Stas had left the day earlier.  In attendance, were all the Beauchemins, the Matos, the NY Gangwers, Randi, VT grandparents, and of course us.  

While in VT, Tammy began having what she thought was allergies to the cat.  She had a runny nose and itchy eyes.  The symptoms lasted into Monday morning where Tammy's co-workers sent her home to get tested for covid.  Fast-forward to Wednesday, the test results came back positive.
