Well, hello.

I wanna start this video first of all
1
5073
1747
00:06
by saying happy new year.
2
6820
1780
00:08
I hope you're enjoying 2022.

So far, it seems like a pretty good year
4
10740
2490
00:13
even though it's only been a few days.
5
13230
2120
00:15
I wanted to say happy new year
6
15350
1510
00:16
and I wanted to kind of tell you that I've had a good break,
7
16860
3230
00:20
but it's been a little bit different
8
20090
1760
00:21
than what we were expecting.
9
21850
2510
00:24
Three out of the six people in my house
10
24360
2310
00:26
have tested positive for COVID.
11
26670
2890
00:29
As we started the Christmas break, we did some testing,
12
29560
3740
00:33
we had some rapid tests, and one of my kids had COVID,
13
33300
3150
00:36
and then another one.
14
36450
1290
00:37
And then, yeah, I think it just kind of spreads from there.
15
37740
3120
00:40
What I will tell you is that I'm also not feeling well
16
40860
3650
00:44
as of a couple of days ago, but it seems fairly mild.
17
44510
4390
00:48
The people in my house that have had COVID,
18
48900
2210
00:51
they've had some sniffles, like a runny nose,
19
51110
2650
00:53
a little bit of a cough, a little bit of a sore throat,
20
53760
3020
00:56
and I'm kind of having those same symptoms.
21
56780
2250
00:59
We're all vaccinated, we're all double vaccinated.
22
59030
2670
01:01
I even have my booster shot
23
61700
1570
01:03
so I think that's helpful as well.
24
63270
1930
01:05
But I just wanna say that I haven't tested positive
25
65200
3990
01:09
for COVID, but I certainly don't feel great today.
26
69190
3210
01:12
Today is Thursday by the way.
27
72400
2080
01:14
So that's going to mean that my break from YouTube
28
74480
3050
01:17
is going to be a few days longer.
29
77530
2300
01:19
I don't feel like doing a live lesson tomorrow or Saturday,
30
79830
4140
01:23
so Friday and Saturday,
31
83970
1160
01:25
because I feel like I'm not sure I can talk for an hour.
32
85130
3200
01:28
Like I don't have a super sore throat,
33
88330
2330
01:30
but it's kind of scratchy
34
90660
1370
01:32
and I just think it would be a bad idea.
35
92030
1690
01:33
So I'm gonna hold off
36
93720
1420
01:35
and I'm not going to do a live lesson tomorrow or Friday.
37
95140
3470
01:38
Sorry, tomorrow or Saturday.
38
98610
1820
01:40
I'm losing track of the days.
39
100430
1580
01:42
I am planning, hopefully, to still have a video out for you
40
102010
3780
01:45
next Tuesday.
41
105790
833
01:46
We'll see though.
42
106623
833
01:47
I'm not sure how things will go.
43
107456
1694
01:49
And then, I do wanna just state again, don't stress.
44
109150
3920
01:53
We're not like really badly sick or anything like that.
45
113070
3810
01:56
For my one son, he was sick for a day
46
116880
2440
01:59
and then he was better again so it wasn't too big of a deal,
47
119320
3030
02:02
but certainly it's a little bit weird
48
122350
2200
02:04
'cause we're kind of stuck at home.
49
124550
1300
02:05
We've been stuck at home for about eight or nine days
50
125850
2700
02:08
and it looks like we'll be stuck at home for a few days more
51
128550
2430
02:10
as well.
52
130980
833
02:11
So anyways, thanks for watching this little update.
53
131813
2267
02:14
I hope you're having a good 2022.
54
134080
1690
02:15
Happy new year again.
55
135770
1160
02:16
And hopefully I'll see you next week
56
136930
1370
02:18
with another live lesson on Friday
57
138300
2520
02:20
and a live lesson on Saturday.
58
140820
1390
02:22
I'm sure I'll be feeling a lot better by then.
59
142210
1957
02:24
Bye.
