This morning, I tested positive for COVID-19.
I am thankful that I have been fully vaccinated and have the best protection possible against COVID-19. I know this also gives me the best chance at a quick recovery so I can be back to a busy in-person schedule as soon as possible. pic.twitter.com/CMF2mD7QVs
