I ended up finally getting COVID a few weeks ago. I was working in person in hospitals before any vaccines existed and never got it.

I was either lucky or unlucky it was while I also was sick with the flu. I just woke up one day and besides the flu aches I felt just totally bizarre. I'd describe it as sparkly brained. Then I noticed I couldn't taste the goat cheese I put in a salad. I took a COVID test and it came back positive. So I don't really know what symptoms I had were from the flu and which were from COVID but I basically worked (from home) and slept 14 hours a day for a week and a half. I had congestion for like 2 weeks after and still do a little too. Just crappy all around. And then I'm here in Amherst (N. Buffalo) in Blurricane central.

Pretty crap winter, but it could have been so much worse. People are still dying of COVID. People lost power and some got stuck out of their house. So despite all this, I still feel a bit fortunate.
