Saturday Snap – Spoiler Alert: The Test Was Negative

A few people we’ve told about our experience going for a COVID test said they appreciated having some information about what the process was like. So we thought it might be worth posting for anyone else who is curious or ends up having to go for a test themselves. Now, because Shea works in healthcare […]
