I just spent the last few minutes unsubscribing from a bunch of things that fell into my inbox today.
It’s crazy how many promotions are sent out on Wednesdays. But even crazier is that I seem to keep subscribing to websites I have no real use for. Mostly—and I am ashamed to say this—they are brands. I don’t fancy myself a shopaholic but I’ve been wanting to repurchase some Birkenstock pairs that I outgrew since my feet went 1.5 sizes up after completing two rounds of pregnancies. I want a good deal, so subscribe I did.
While we’re here, I’m pretty miffed by the gargantuan Title Box that WordPress decided to slap on here. Blog titles are an afterthought for me. Okay, sometimes an aforethought. But nowadays I always have eyes behind me whenever I do this and the title could not be any louder for the people at the back! I feel self-conscious and exposed. So I will wait ’til I’m ready to hit publish before actually typing in a title. Who knows what I’ll come up with at the very last second?
So much talk about computers. But what am I if I don’t do this?
So I and my lovely family of four recently got COVID-19. It was our first infection and it sucked. I had the most symptoms and the worst symptoms out of the four of us, despite it being mild. But since having it almost 4 weeks ago, I’ve had daily headaches that I’m just used to it. I had to take really strong antibiotics for my severe sore throat. I thought I was never going to stop coughing.
We locked ourselves inside for 10 days. The recommended isolation period is now only 5 days, but since our infection slowly cascaded over a few days—me, then RJ, then the kids one day after the other—it was wise to just stay put. Besides, I looked, sounded, and felt like a wild hyena. There was no point in doing anything other than faffing in bed, watching my crime show of almost 20 years, and having food delivered.
I have no words of wisdom. We will continue masking up in public indoor spaces and exercise all means to make sure we’re not spreading it. I just can’t believe it happened. I will never socialize again!
