I live in a house isolated from family and have many things I feel I need to do in order to care for myself and my family properly who live across town. I am still going to work where I potentially expose myself. The process of meticulously caring for myself before, during and after work has taken a lot of time and energy, but I am meticulously attempting to care for my health in every moment. Please bear with me as I try to catch up with the assigned work you have given in the next few days (before Friday), which I find very interesting and well written, but also detailed and requiring thorough reading. If you feel that I am too far behind, or have failed at attendance, please advise and I will try to drop the class by the due date. Many thanks and stay safe.
