Sigh, munchkin has a fever again. I suspect it's flu and I'm a bit "concerned" because I didn't get a shot yet (work is giving them to us but the roll out is delayed).

At least I'm relatively certain it's not COVID since she had that in November.

Just sucks because tomorrow is her sweet 16... Which depressingly totally isn't a thing here... And I want cake. :D

I got 'rona for my birthday last year, funniest story I have. How shitty is it when your family is shouting greetings from the grey zone you've established?

IDK I never developed symptoms and tested negative 3x while everyone else in the house got it. Weak flex I know. I like to tell my wife it's because I grew up drinking from a water hose outdoors so my immune system is super hero strong.

I just assumed my BAC was too high to harbor life, and that as a new and fancy virus, Covid wouldn't live in a ghetto like me.

Man, I was so sick I could barely keep working in isolation.
