I was one of the lucky ones who avoided catching it up until now despite a few close calls and having to go get tested. I guess my time has come. I don't have any home tests to find out for sure, but it sure seems like Covid.

Thankfully the cough and sore throat have been mild, but the chills, fatigue and body aches hit me like a truck. I've mostly just been cocooning in bed and trying to sleep as much as I can. I slept about 15 hours yesterday. I didn't even really have any alcohol in me at the time, so I figured sleep would be difficult, but my body didn't even care.

It's worth it to test yourself and, if it's early enough, get Paxlovid.

I haven't ever had it and hope it stays that way. I haven't been sick at all since 2019. It's rare for me to get sick but when I do it really knocks me on my ass.

Gonna see if my buddy will drop me off one of those rapid tests just so I can know for sure.

Water, Zinc, Vitamin D and Vitamin C as fast as possible roughly in order of importance.

Don't have any of those things. The only water is tap water which I'm not going to drink.

I'm having a couple beers but nursing them slowly.

That's asking for dehydration with a fever. Perhaps someone can get you some bottled water.

Yeah. I could probably get a buddy to drop some off.

I had to go down a 2 story stairwell to get to the basement to do my laundry and it was awful. I'm cold as shit again and my legs felt like they were gonna give out on me.

I can't wait to go back to bed again.

Lying in bed and drinking water is pretty much the only thing you should be doing.

The food here is terrible. My steak was so tough it attacked my coffee and the coffee was too weak to defend itself.

This. I gave myself a kidney stone by letting myself get dehydrated (no fever at that time). Most unpleasant.
