I got Covid!

My lack of respect for this virus throughout this year sent me dive bombing into cluttered cafes and dancing through packed night clubs with no fear. And it all caught up!

It took just one holiday party to get infected, and bed ridden I was for a week! Everyone has a different reaction to Covid, and with the multiple variants present, it’s hard to say what the reasons may be. But my experience was fairly intense. Incredible back and knee pain, heavy sinus pressure, high fever, chills, and fatigue lined my first three days dealing with the symptoms. From there it has turned into a normal cold, with unrelenting coughing and a nasty sore throat. I wouldn’t have cared so dearly if it hadn’t overlapped the Christmas break!

Luckily… the friends who were infected with us, were able to join for a get together, making the day not so lonely! Silly games, feasting, and of course ALCOHOL, covered our celebration - and for me, didn’t feel any different than any other Christmas in Chi. Family portraits were a must. Happy Holidays folks -
