American ??? day 92

11,528 steps 

France recently changed its rules for travelers entering the country. We have to have COVID-19 PCR tests within 72 hours or less of our departure. 

However, there are no testing sites in our area that give results in under 72 hours. Right now turnaround time is estimated at 3-5 days. Plus, testing sites aren't generally open on the weekend, which is when we'd need to test if we wanted to be within the 72-hour window. We can't even get tested in our own county because they are too overwhelmed with demand! 

So then, if we get tested but don't have results, we have to contact the consulate in Chicago and get emergency "laissez-passer" exemption papers that will let us get on the airplane. But we can't do this until we have already gotten tested! So this means we get tested on Monday, contact the consulate and fill out lots of papers, and hope we get our exemption papers back before we leave on Wednesday morning. 

Way too complicated. 

Today was a deep-cleaning day. We washed insides and outsides of all of the kitchen cupboards. Then we washed down walls and baseboards in the staircases and upstairs hallway. For our fun breaks, we watched episodes of "Adam Ruins Everything." 


Inga, Ivy, and Dio made these "no reading" signs and posted them in the library. However, Zari BROKE THE RULES and read anyway. (Look at how sad and bare our walls are with our "wall of shame" pictures taken down.)
