Day Trip: Visiting Peace Arch Historical Park

The Peace Arch

It’s not an understatement to say that finding fun activities in the midst of a pandemic can be challenging. Enter the day trip. I love taking short drives to visit new places and thankfully there’s plenty to see in our area.

Recovering from COVID-19: 56 Days Later

Ya girl is feeling MUCH better. 

Finally.

I can breathe a sigh of relief because the last vestige from COVID-19 is gone from my system. (For the record said deep breath is most certainly happening at home, not in a public space.) A recent chest x-ray confirmed there is no longer any inflammation in my lungs. I’m back! Highlights of recovery include: being able to belly laugh without coughing, taking our dog for a walk and sleeping through the night.

I Survived: My Experience with COVID-19

Earlier this year I read about the novel coronavirus spreading in China and thought it was only going to be a matter of time before it came to the U.S. I rightly assumed Washington state would be one of the first to get cases. On January 20, a 35-year-old Snohomish County man tested positive for COVID-19. Snohomish County is just north of Seattle, which is in King County. From there I was on high alert; watching every press conference Governor Jay Inslee held and reading as many articles as I could. Then the number of cases rose exponentially at Life Care Center in Kirkland, a nursing and rehabilitation center. I’m asthmatic which puts me in the vulnerable population group. As I watched the crisis grow, I would soon become infected with COVID-19 myself.
