Nothing like ringing in the new year with a bug.
I woke up early yesterday morning with a sore throat. I figured it was because the room was dry, so I drank some water and took some Aleve, which seemed to help…until last night.
Since then, I’ve had full body aches, coughing, sneezing, a low grade fever, and a stuffy and runny nose.
I’ve been out in public a few times over the past two weeks, and I didn’t wear a mask, so I’m sure I picked up this bug at one of these outings.
I haven’t tested for COVID yet. I’m not going anywhere this week, but we do have cleaners coming next week, followed by a family gathering the next weekend, so I will definitely test to ensure I’m not contagious by then.
I’m also going to get back into the habit of wearing a mask when not in my home or car. This isn’t just because COVID is still out there, because we have PLENTY of bugs floating around.
