June 5, 2022 by Rob Leave a Comment

Once i knew i had COVID i slept 15 hrs got up for 8, slept 12, got up for 2 slept 3... I finally started to feel better about Wednesday but didn't test negative until Friday.

COVID finally eased off enough that the borders are open so my cousin Marc and family could attend over the US Thanksgiving weekend. 2020 was a brutal year for the Nixon girls as we like to call my mum and her two sisters.
