The state of me
My illness this time has been... different. It's the first time I've wondered if my Covid test was a false negative. I had a fever, bad cough, very congested lungs, and no sense of smell or taste for a few days. Whatever it was, it's just about gone. No fever now, only occasional cough, a little congestion. Even my yeast infection from hell is better(and thanks to everyone for their recommendations - - they've helped). I'm at that point where I'm well-rested(all I've wanted to do is sleep), no aches and pains from work, and I have some energy again.
I don't want to go back to work and start the cycle all over again. It turns out I like not being in pain, not being stressed, and not dealing with idiots all day long. I'm going to try and make it through this year, but I can't keep going through this every few months. Covid is here to stay, people don't care if they infect other people with Covid, a cold, the flu or whatever. Retail is not the place for someone with a crappy immune system. I thought surely by now, mine would be back to normal, but it's not. It's not easy to admit that I can't do what I once could, but being sick this time has made me realize it.
