So glad you are better now! We did all the usual precautions, but my older son has a nail biting habit and we think he picked up the virus from a car we were traveling in, even though we all wore masks and the windows were down. We'd hired a driver (with a 4X4) to take us up north because the roads are so bad in December. At the time, many locals didn't believe in Covid and were not wearing masks. He was only doing so to humor us. It turned out, he was using the housing/lodging money we'd paid for to save for his family and sleeping in the vehicle. He had complained of stomach issues at the end of our trip so we think we picked up the virus from him. We were probably one of the rare cases where we picked it up from a surface as opposed to through the air.

Thankfully we all recovered. My older son was sick for three days only. My younger one had no symptoms at all. My husband got it but recovered within a month. I took the longest for some reason.

Glad you like the Malawian patterns. I'm sure they will find their way into more future illustrations and paintings moving forward.

Best wishes,
Kristen
