this was not a souvenir I wanted to bring home

Content warning for Covid of a fairly mild variety.


Evidently, masking up during my travels last week wasn't enough to stave off the freaking 'rona. Two women on the trip tested positive part way through the week, and I strongly suspect I caught the ick from them, despite precautions. I just took a test, and yep, dammit! :(

I mainly feel like I've got a cold in my nose, and I seem to be slowly improving. The first day I was symptomatic was the worst - gnarly headache, chills - and at that point, I thought I'd been sun-scorched, which I may have also been. I've been self-isolating since I got home, just in case, and it's a sharding good thing.

Thank God for being fully vaccinated and boosted, or this might be far worse than a runny nose cold. But... dammit! :(

Ugh, that sucks. I'm glad you're caught up on your boosters. Hopefully that helps a bit.

I'm going to assume being caught up is the reason I haven't been flattened entirely. My gratitude for vaccines is a lasting thing.

*enjoys tea* :)

GRRRRRR!!!! So frustrated on your behalf. I hope you get better quickly.

[chanter1944]

Thanks. :) I can tell I'm slowly improving, which is definitely something.

It looks like up-to-date Covid vaccines and boosters also greatly reduce the chances of Long Covid, so that's another good thing. Anyway, fingers crossed you'll be on the mend soon, with no lasting effects!

[chanter1944]

That's another *very* good thing! And, thank you! :)

May your COVID experience

be entirely boring, and over soon.

Re: May your COVID experience

I hope so, on both counts!
