'Vid.

Whelp, after nearly 3 years of dodging it, and 4 vaccine shots, I finally caught the 'vid.

Felt funky Thursday morning, did a rapid test that was pos then took a PCR that came back same. A new guy that started last week tested pos and I was in close contact with him, think his dumb ass gave it to me. And I even recommended him for the job after interviewing him. Fucker. 

I don't feel terrible, mostly classic cold symptoms, headache, chills, body aches, runny nose. The fact that I'm quad vaxxed probably has knocked it down quite a bit. As it happens I've got it over a holiday weekend so I may only miss three days of work. Thu-Fri-Tues. I'll test Tues and if I'm negative I'll go back Wednesday. In the end I'm salaried so I'm not losing anything. 

It was inevitable I guess. No matter how vaxxed you are it seems like variants can get through that. At least it's seemingly going to be mild and not really kick my ass. About the only thing I lose is not going out in the City yesterday which, whatever. Have left the house only once in the last three days and may not leave it again until I head back to work. Sleeping a lot and just trying to rest it out.

So, after all the buildup and global handwringing, it's just...a cold. Yes the vaccines are probably helping me somehow with severity, but isn't a vaccine supposed to PREVENT getting a disease? Makes you wonder what this has all been about. And no I'm not a ridiculous anti-vaxxer I'm just underwhelmed by the reality of what it is after all the global freaking out.

Let's get it over with and get back to obsessing about September Vegas.
