No. But I might have a stomach infection called h-pylori. The doctor took biopsies and I will find out in a week or so. If it is H-pylori its contagious and resistance to drugs, meaning it's not going away easily. awesome.

But it's not going to stop me from going after my goals. I spent 45 minutes working on the drywall with Nana Reta, then we had lunch before going grocery shopping, picking up my prescription, then headed home to work on my goals.

COVID-19 News:

  • The US Food and Drug Administration has authorized Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine for emergency use in the United States.
  • As Covid-19 vaccinations continue to roll out across the US, hospitalizations hit new records for a 12th straight day.
  • French President Emmanuel Macron's Covid-19 diagnosis sent ripples through the European political sphere, with multiple leaders forced to quarantine.

The FDA is on its way to granting emergency use authorization to Moderna's Covid-19 vaccine after the agency's advisers voted yesterday to recommend it. If it's authorized, officials expect nearly 8 million more vaccine doses will reach US states by next week. Vice President Mike Pence is set to get a first shot of the Pfizer/BioNTech vaccine today, making him the highest-ranking US official to be vaccinated against the virus. Other countries are getting ready for their own vaccine rollouts: India is preparing task forces in anticipation of an emergency use authorization for at least one vaccine candidate. South Korea plans to vaccinate more than 80% of its population -- about 44 million people -- by next November. Meanwhile, Germany and Japan have reported new record case numbers, and in the US, Covid-19 deaths have already topped 40,000 this month.

Other News: US cyberattack

The Department of Homeland Security's cyber arm has warned that the recent cyberattack affecting government agencies is far broader than officials had thought. The Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency said the compromised software program, SolarWinds, isn't the only way hackers infiltrated networks, and those responsible may have used "tactics, techniques and procedures that have not yet been discovered." This news just escalates already growing concern about the scale and scope of the breach, which the agency says "poses a grave risk" to the federal government and other areas of the public and private sectors. Questions are also lingering about how long the breach went undetected by the US government and when President Trump, who has stayed silent on the matter, may address it.

My son is fifteen! Happy 15th Birthday Layden.
Layden,
All of my feelings for you are so intense, but also tramped down and covered in bravery so as not to embarrass or frighten you. Somehow, each year turns out okay, some even turn out awesome, and we say goodbye to an illness that we never imagined we’d get through, at least not quite so quickly. And we welcome a bright future.
There are so many things I want you to know.
I don’t really care what you do when you grow up. As long as you are happy. And safe. I need you to be safe. And healthy.
I am proud to call you my son.
Your best quality is your kindness.
I love listening to you talk. Even when I have no idea what you are even talking about, which is at least 60% of the time. You know I hate video games.
I believe in you.
Lastly, I want you to know I love you sooo much.
Happy birthday.



I set up a snack station of Layden's favorite snacks for his birthday. 





I hope he is happy 



I'm still feeling excited for my book but nerves about the editing. I'm doing better about not pushing it off. Just get it done.

Chris and I couldn't wait to get up and start our vision board. I made us a yummy naughty breakfast to enjoy before I took over the kitchen with our vision boards supplies. 


2020 Vision Boards coming down. I accomplished a lot. 




Chris also got a lot check off his board.



Checkboxes are starting.


I love that Chris is making stuff for his vision board on my Cricut machine



Athena is very excited about her vision board this year and is really taking the time to create a board she loves and is passionate about. 



Layden and Ryleigh are having a cook over before starting their vision boards. They did a great job and it was yummy.



Issiah isn't the most creative but what is on his board is important to him. 


Issiah finished his board in an hour. It took me 6 hours to do 1 board.


Ryleigh went digital.




I'm trying the start my next board but the kids need my help and I want to help them. Athena is so happy with her board. 



Chris is done with his board. I wish he would let me help him make it look nicer. 


Layden took 30 mintures on his board but his goals are important to him.


Teaching my kids to go after their goals is important to me and to them.
