The Streak Is Over

And there we have it. After four years of staying COVID free, I finally came down with it over the weekend.

Fortunately, I’m vaxxed and boosted, so it seems that, so far, I’ve escaped with just a very minor case: aching neck and shoulders, an annoying cough, but not much else. I think I’ve had it since Friday, as I woke up that day feeling just slightly . . . off. But heck, I wouldn’t even have thought I had COVID–just a bad cold–if someone hadn’t described their first brush with it as “malaise,” which pretty much summed up how I felt, and prompted me to test.

Several days later, I’m feeling much better, and planning on staying away from everyone and everything until late in the week, at which point I’ll only venture out masked for a while. But my status as a NOVID has come to an end, thank you, and I will be taking no questions.
