Plague house
We are hit by Covid again. Pretty common lately, all over :-/ This time Middle Kid has a positive test, plus the gastrointestinal side of the symptoms, which hit while we were down South in England. That's presumably where we picked it up.
Youngest Kid doesn't have a positive Covid test yet, but we're assuming she has it too. She's sleeping in lots, coughing and complaining of stomach pain. That last bit is pretty common - she's trying hard not to eat real food, with some level of success. We started trying to isolate Middle Kid, but if Youngest has it then there's not much reason to -- it's just gonna circulate through the house. Krissy and I and Oldest Kid are already vaccinated, for what it's worth, and Oldest Kid has had it before.
Other than that things are fine. I got myself a nice little digital piano, one with 88 weighted keys, a pedal and the other basics that allow one to play songs roughly as they were meant to be played. It's a lovely step up. I'm still practicing vigorously, in the hope that I'll get good enough to justify it over time.
Work is still fine. I enjoy working on the JIT for Ruby a lot. Shopify's stock price is way, way down so in effect I have taken a big pay cut and that's very annoying. But we're still fine - we treated the stock as a nice bonus, not something required for day-to-day life. That was apparently an excellent decision.
