Well, I contracted COVID about a week and a half ago during a work trip. Two of my other colleagues also tested positive. I marched in UT's homecoming last Saturday, and I really started to feel bad as the day went on. After I marched homecoming--the worst show of my entire life--I left the game and went back to my parents', where I essentially slept for the next day and a half, thinking it was just a seasonal bug. Then I got an email from work identifying me as a close contact, so I went to the clinic and got tested. I've been down for the count ever since.
I finally started feeling better on Friday and did a little around the house--changed sheets, washed clothes, did some emails and calls for work. Then I felt even better on Saturday, so I ran some errands and vacuumed the house.
I decided to stay home from church today because I am still coughing a lot, and it hasn't been that long since I was sick. But I felt well enough to go in and decorate the office for the Halloween party tomorrow, which I have organized and for which I am the MC. It took over 2 hours, and I was pretty tuckered by the time I was done. It's not my best decoration effort, and I had to cobble together table coverings, napkins and plates from previous years leftovers, but it's done, even if it doesn't match.
I will be dressing as Louise Belcher from "Bob's Burgers" and entering the chili cook-off. And it will be a profound relief when it is all over.
In other news, Barbie has a new Halloween costume this year, Frida Kahlo. She has too much hair for me to fix her up with the Frida bun, but she still looks pretty cool.
