Chad's adventures of shaving, officiating, and life

Yea it seems if you are going to get it, Omicron the one to get
Yep. The virus has finally evolved to something that is good for it. Easily transmitted but doesn’t kill the host. Ask the common cold how well that’s worked for it.

Sorry for your troubles, Chad. We had it here in my house during the Christmas season. For all that the separation and quarantine stink, they work. Only one of us got it and the rest of us weren’t infected.

So far it's just me. Others have remained symptom free. They test tomorrow.
 
Well today was D-Day so to speak. Find out if the virus spread throughout the house. Now mind you I have been told that I have Omicron which is more transmissible. I add all this here not to spark debate because I still firmly believe that each person needs to make the best decision for them self, their children, etc when it comes to anything that they are putting into their body so I won't even entertain discussion as to what we have done. But for real world first hand knowledge I will tell you how it all happened. First our kids school is 100% masked, except when distancing in the cafeteria and eating, they even wear masks outside at recess. My wife and I wear our masks. Regardless of one's position on the shots I do firmly believe that when inside you should wear a mask. When outside if in a large group probably a good idea. But I also stand by that I have officiated over 100 football games since this pandemic started and have not caught this virus while outside. Anyways here's what happened.

I am vaccinated with two doses, and was eligible for the booster the week of Christmas, my plan was to get the booster right after Christmas. I caught covid instead. Once I knew I was sick and exhibiting symptoms I began isolation and got a test.

My wife has had all 3 shots. Her test today is Negative.

My son is 7 years old, we have not vaccinated him for corona virus. Today he tested positive. He is asymptomatic at this time.

My daughter is 4 years old, she is not eligible for vaccine at this time. Today she tested positive. She is asymptomatic at this time.

Now let us hope that Omicron can bring an end to the pandemic!

Still no shave. I am also currently no longer in isolation for above reason and I have passed day 5. According to new rules I am asked to wear a mask until day ten and to ensure no symptoms come back or new ones arise. If they do back to isolation.

So I am planning to shave and Georgia is coming!
 
Well since my last post my shaves have been going well. Almost done with the Stirling Christmas Eve soap and while on vacation I was using the CBL PB Tonsorial Soap.

My shaves have been boring as of late not a lot of changes and just really enjoying what I have I assume 2022 will be another year of that.

As to the home front the trip was a lot of fun but not much else to share. Been dealing with a lot of personal stuff and have a lot going on right now in my personal life. Which has led me to not participating much around here.
 
Well another good shave today with the Strling soap, Razorock OC razor, and an Smattayu brush. Great results and BBS every day.

As to the home life settled back in after our trip to Georgia. Yesterday I worked a basketball game that was very entertaining. #3 vs #5 in the 4A classification. However tomorrow I work the game that I worked last year when I tore my calf. Same teams and same location. Hoping to make it out of the game unscathed!
 
Well in an effort to write at least some type of update here I am.

Today's shave was the EXACT same as yesterday. And it provided the exact same results.

As to the home life yesterday was the first college football officials meeting of the 2022 season. No major rule changes this year but the studying is starting. Also had a good conversation with my assigner who told me that I should see some spring ball assignments and hopefully a college game during the season. Moving up and forward. Tonight I have a basketball game as well. Lots of activities also this weekend with the Knights of Columbus and the March for Life activities.

Have a good Friday all.
