It's weird to finally get COVID-19, seeing as how it's June 2024. It was a good run, while it lasted. Having gotten the original vaccination and every available booster they would let me take, it hasn't been anything other than my standard summer cold. What's my standard summer cold? Two days of agonizing nasal congestion that prevents me from getting any meaningful amount of sleep and then 5-7 days of a rib-cracking cough.

Which, is what I'm going through now.

Yes, as soon as I started feeling symptons I masked when I went out. I didn't even think to test until Kat suggested it. That probably cost me two days of knowing, but...I'm not sure what I would have done different. Maybe I would have tried to get one of the anti-virals? I don't know.

I have noticed that trying to keep my blood sugar down has been...challenging to say the least. I'm having trouble finding the studies, but the gist is that the inflamatory response impacts how the body uses insulin which can lead to higher blood sugar. CAN CONFIRM! Keeping my sugar down has been tough and super frustrating for me because I typically has this very dialed in and completely under control. Very, very frustrating...

But, even though I finally did get COVID, I feel confident that my case is relatively mild is thanks to vaccines. Fuck yeah, science!
