It’s Not Coronavirus

I’ve avoided illness so long but now I have a cold or something, respiratory congestion and feeling run down. My daughter was sick last week and I hugged her, how can I resist? We had gone to the mall and always use public transportation while masking for what it’s worth. So far it hasn’t been too bad of symptoms as long as I take cold medicine every four hours. 

The stuff I have came from the Dollar Tree and if the Amazon lockers are ever available to accept packages again I’ll order cold medicine and get a really specific good one. The location I like to pick up orders from has been too full to use since November, which is worrying and leads me to shop at in person at Walmart unfortunately. 

Walmart had some decrepit old boomer checking people’s receipts as they left, when I was there last time.  I hadn’t stolen anything and purposely blasted through their checkpoint without stopping or acknowledging it (lol). It was probably cringey but I still feel like a badass. Hopefully I can avoid going there again for a long time! “I have a bus to catch and I didn’t steal anything”, I’ve told the door-checkers that on other visits, with and without cursing, not ever slowing my gait, but prefer to gracefully maneuver through the exit without speaking to them when possible.  

My tea stash is really impressive right now and that will help me stay hydrated, and hopefully get well soon.  I have OTC medicine and the internet to be my doctor of course.  There’s at least 4 streaming services I’m subscribed to and I have a heated blanket to lay around and rest.  I have fresh and frozen fruits and vegetables, soup and brown rice to eat that seems nutritious. I wish I had fresh flowers but don’t want to order them, I will just enjoy my dried bouquets, my origami and Lego flowers instead for now. When I had elbow tendonitis I convinced myself that flowers were the key to promoting a healthy vibe, and I did get better,  so now I can’t stop

This is getting really boring, I’m just trying to deal with whatever my body is going through, I’ll write another time 💐
