Dealing with the Rona. Quarantine day 1.

My state has gone into a shelter in place status, like so many others.

But I work at a fast food joint, and that makes me "essential". So every day I continued working, coming into contact with dozens upon dozens of people every day.

Seriously, our sales have been insane. WTF, go home!

And now, slowly building symptoms have put me where I am today. I have the Rona. And every one of the huge amount of people refusing to stay home, have been exposed to it. Young, old, healthy, compromised. Sucks to suck. I literally only ever work or stay home. So one of them probably gave it to me in the first place. #karma

Yes, I know I look like shit, and let me just risk offending someone by stating, IDGAF right now. Maybe I'll regret it next week, but not now.

Covid-19 is exhausting. I woke up this morning, took Hiro and Ella outside, made sure the kids had breakfast and slept another 8 hours.

Fed the kids dinner and have since sat around reading a book. There has been no "getting things done" while "self-isolating". This isn't the same.

This feels like someone is pressing their hand against my chest. A constant pressure. Physical activity of any sort, walking, singing, I vacuumed today, all of that is enough to make me lose my breath. If I have a conversation I find myself taking deep breaths, unable to keep up.

The cough? It came real slow. A little 'ahem' here and there. I drank my Echinacea tea, I increased water intake, I gave myself dry rashes from constantly washing and sanitizing my hands.

But now it's like Bronchitis, with a slight gasp likd whooping cough, and a bit of a wheeze.

It hurts. It's exhausting. The fever sucks. I've lived my life with migraines, so the headache isn't so bad.

#covid19 isn't the worst illness I've ever lived through, but it's day 1 of the fever, so we'll see how it goes from here.

Once the kids get to bed I'll do some work on #witchling and then go back to sleep. Maybe I'll just go to sleep. 😑
