Covid finally hits Samoa 🇼🇸

I’m not sure people knew that there were still countries that were covid free – but Samoa was one of them, up until last week. Well, actually, the case was caught only bc this person was traveling & needed a negative covid test to board a plane. Imagine the shock when it returned positive. Clearly it’s been in the community here, and they’ve been faring well, but since it was discovered of course covid regulation stuff started. Honestly I’m not gonna write all about my feelings towards that – I don’t run the country or the emergency response & I don’t want to, so I’ll save my rants for Kopo 😂

Anyway, it’s pretty wild to be 2yrs behind everyone with lockdowns and all that starting. We are on lockdown until tomorrow & then I’m not sure what’s going to happen after that. But we continue to enjoy life at home. Yesterday I did 2 loads of laundry and hung it all up to dry. It is soooo humid here (90%+ most days) so clothes get musty & can get moldy veryyy fast. Once you wear something you have to wash it right away or it’s a goner 😔 I learned this the hard way. I still have about 5 loads that are clean and need to be folded 🥴🤣🤣 I’ll work on that today.

Kopo & I got to play Rummikub yesterday afternoon which was so fun – it’s one of our favorite pastime ❤️ I won all 3 rounds so we will probably have a rematch today.

Aaand that’s the latest here ☺️ I want to remember these seemingly uneventful days bc ultimately that’s what makes up a great life, days spent with loved ones making memories. It’s not about all these big huge moments of pizzazz, but tiny moments all strung together to make the best of all we have ❤️

Have a wonderful day! Enjoy the day to day cleaning or cooking, a laugh with your kids, a kiss with your spouse, a walk by yourself (that sounds dreamy 🤩) – drink it all in 💗💗
