Well, this is suboptimal. Today I started feeling quite ill. Much pain and discomfort. I was cold and couldn't get warm, even while rolled up in all the blankets while wearing my hoodie, fleece pants, and wool socks. Finally I tested myself again. Yep, you guessed it. THIS time it was positive. Apparently I have COVID. After THREE WEEKS of barely going out of the house, I took this one trip, and somehow got exposed. I had to tell everyone I saw along the way. So far, they say they are okay. I have a fever, sore throat, ache all over, and can't eat, so that's kind of miserable. But no trouble breathing. I called to ask about antivirals, but they haven't replied yet. I'm not gonna do anything. I'm just gonna lie here with the blankets over my head. I give up.

I'm so sorry. I hope it passes soon - I've heard Paxlovid helps a LOT, especially if you take it soon.

Oh, no! I'm so sorry. Sending best wishes for a speedy recovery and no lingering ill effects.

By the way, would it be all right for me to send you the occasional note of support? I have your address from the lovely and kind note you sent me when my husband was so ill. I treasure it.

It's supposed to help--or at least make sure things don't get any worse!

Thanks! The one I have isn't Paxlovid, but it should have a similar effect.

You are so kind! I would love that. It would combine two of my favorite things: contact with people I like, and exciting snail mail.
