I've Got Whine; Who's Got Cheese? - 2023 Whine-and-Cheese Thread
It's about that time again - bring out the cheese, 'cause I got me a whine!
After making it almost 3 years in a pandemic not catching SARS-CoV-2, DH and I tested positive this morning. We have been among a dwindling group of people who've continued to mask up in most indoor situations, from grocery shopping to Girl Scout troop meetings, and while DH's slightly obsessive surface-sanitizing is a thing of the past, his hocking loogies into every sink in the house is not. (Guess which one I think is worse. HINT ... it's the loogies.)
Like, so positive the lines showed up within the first minute. We are assuming that DD also has it because she's acting sick & has a dry cough.
Anyway ... true to form, I feel like I'm experiencing bad allergies - my eyes & nose are itchy; I feel like I have to sneeze; I'm congested; and my throat is scratchy from post-nasal drip - but felt my worst on Wednesday, when I also had chills & joint pain, as well as a massive headache.
DD has a slight temp (not a fever, just an elevated body temp, which is actually within the range of "normal" for her!), nasal congestion, and that dry cough.
DH, well, DH has the full boat of symptoms - loss of smell/taste; fatigue; loss of appetite; cough; congestion; and probably a mild fever - so, apparently, the world is coming to an end. (He's such a baby when he's sick because he's whiny one minute and a total grump the next. It's the literal worst, so I've started really ignoring him when he's down, which is probably the wrong thing to do, but when I'm sick, it feels like I'm expected to power through everything and ... that's just not fair.)
Honestly, I'm not really b!tching about DH; I'm b!tching about the situation - it's one thing for one of us to be sick, but all 3 of us is really sucky.
