Covid Bummer

Covid is awful.  I tested positive on Monday.  I had all the symptoms.  I had a fever, body aches, soar throat, headache, coughing, sneezing, runny nose, and extremely tired.  This is my first time getting it.  I had all the vaccines and boosters.  I thought maybe I was one of those lucky people who were […]
