I got covid, I'm feeling fine, it's def def deffo my own fault, no one around me seems to have gotten it, and while I'm sad to not be able to kiss my girlfriend after they like JUST recovered from covid like a week and a half ago, I feel extremely extremely lucky that this isn't interrupting anything like travel or whatever, and that my job, time off, and solo living situation means I can just recover without worrying about anyone else. And that my gf is bringing me groceries and probably anything else I might need!
Day four, feeling fine. Not testing yet, cuz I'm still sick and CDC says isolate til Monday, but other than the cough and congestion, I feel basically fine. Day two was the worst, I was drippy and achy and had a lot of shit I had to do and push through, which kinda sucked. I had asked Erika for help if I needed it and they were right there for me, but I wound up being ok to do it on my own.
All that aside, if I can just share my number one Being Sick tip, please!!!! please
Use handkerchiefs (or bandanas like I do) instead of kleenex or TP to blow your nose! Not only is it environment saving (you, personally, have saved The Rainforest in so doing) but it doesn't fuck up the skin on your nose!!! I don't know why this is!!! But I'm not all raw on my nose after I'm sick any more and it's so much better than in the dark days of kleenex!!!!!
