EPTI am though. I'm getting tested in the morning to make sure.
It's nothing life threatening, as I type this I'm not dying, I'm still perfectly capable of both breathing and tasting, it's just an obnoxiously bad cold at the moment. But because of this I'm going to be on my own for Christmas this year. I won't be able to see my family. I will be spending my morning tomorrow testing just to make sure this is actually what I have, and then spending the rest of my morning telling everyone I've been in contact with that I have this stupid thing.
Oh and by the way I am vaccinated already. It's not like I didn't take steps to prevent this from happening, but it did anyway.
It still feels unfair. With how much I have been working lately I thought I might have earned a night or two to be with family. But I guess how much I work doesn't matter to this virus. Is COVID even what I have? I still don't know and it's that uncertainty that really is the worst right now.
I don't even know if I should be scared of what comes next. All I can tell you TL is that if you have your health and if you have family, be grateful and appreciative towards them for the next few days if you can. Take the word of someone who will be spending Christmas alone, to tell you that it sucks and it's not something you want to do by choice. Take care of yourselves, take care of your families. In this insane world that sometimes feels surreal and fake, make the most of it that you can and don't take a single day for granted.
Merry Christmas TL. I'll see you in 2022.
