So you would think after 2 years of Covid, then my Mom being ill and passing, I’d be kinda done. Which admittedly I am. I was happy to be back at work though it has been stressful because it is budget season and, well I support the CFO. But then last Thursday, our Controller came down with Covid. Yeah, you know where this is going. She then came in Friday, masked etc. and stayed in her office. Honestly we had started to not wear masks in the office any more and it felt really great. But once she came down with a case I started masking again. Too late. Today I tested positive. On the plus side I had been masking. I had been coughing like an idiot but had chalked it up to seasonal asthma that sometimes kicks in with my hayfever. I had had a rough night and used my inhaler but it didn’t really help. Today I was spraying my nose and taking the allergy pills. I was masked at work. Well by the end of the day I was feeling pretty crummy. I had tested on Friday after I heard about my co-worker, and again yesterday, Monday. Then I came home took my temp. 100.5. Uh oh. I NEVER get a temperature and generally run sub-normal. Test taken and second little line started to appear after about 8 minutes. Awesome. So, here is where I’ll be. I feel crummy. Low grade fever, aches, cough that I can’t shake that totally wears me out. After 5 days I’ll test again. Already burned through all my sick time though taking care of Mom and was hoping to save my vacation time for trip back East for Steve’s Father’s Day, and trip to London and Scotland later in the summer. We shall see though.
2022 can suck it.
