So far itโ€™s not Covid, Flu, or Strep. They canโ€™t figure it out, but it may be bronchitis. Got antibiotics so. Hopefully it clears up soon :(

In urgent care, bc I have lost weight this past week, and it still hurts to eat/drink anything.

So letโ€™s see if itโ€™s Strep throatโ€ฆ Covidโ€ฆ. AND what can be done to get me back to feeling like a person again.

Iโ€™ve been out of commission since last Wednesdayโ€” caught whatever my daughter got. Weโ€™re still recovering, but at least today Iโ€™ve been awake long enough to even know what day it is.

A collection of six ominous bird valentines set against a background of pink hearts. In the first one, a Canada Goose looks angry and hisses and the text says "Baby, I'll make you fall head over heels if you approach within 10m of my nest." In the second, an American white pelican opens its mouth to eat the reader and the text says "There are plenty of fish in the sea, but I want this one." In the third valentine, a Black Vulture looks suspiciously at the reader and the text says "I will love you until you die. And after that, I'll love you even more." A Southern Cassowary stands proudly against the heart-covered background. The text says "My wattles are red. My head is blue. My deadly reputation has been somewhat overblown, but I'd kill for you." In the fifth valentine, a Northern Giant-Petrel stands open-billed next to a large brown furry object, and the text says "Let's seal the deal by sharing a 3000 kg elephant seal carcass." In panel 6, a happy-looking Bearded Vulture holds a bone in its beak, and the text says "I love every part of you, especially your bones."
