I'm very perplexed. The man came home from work sick "What's wrong?" "I don't know everything hurts and I'm tired". Right. The kid and I have developed a dry cough and dry throat very similar to hayfever apart from those and slight body aches which can come from coughing but nothing else. It was a high pollen day yesterday. Hayfever or something else? I'm not sure.

Update: the man has tested positive to the covid.

I am now being tested.

Update 2: I and the kid are negative. We will test again tomorrow.

I felt like hell Sunday but I think it was a reaction to all the tension. Like when you take leave and you feel like messy death for the first couple of days.
Hay fever's not great but there's activity next door so there's a lot of dust and whatnot floating around.

Kid is coughing up a storm and the Mrs is saying she’s coming down with “something”, so it’s going around, whatever it is.

All my best to the Break fam.

Covid? It's still around in various forms.

Flu? This winter's was pretty rough and we're still at the tail end of it. If you haven't had your shots it could floor you.

Head cold? My daughter copped one a few weeks ago. Felt very 'meh' for a few days.

I'll just have to wait it out while slugging down some cough medicine. It just feels like a bad case of hayfever but you never know.

Bullshit high hayfever today for me.

[–] CEOofmyhouse56@aussie.zone 6 points 1 year ago

Yeah see. I've popped a Telfast and it seems to be helping. Might try a Lemsip with some extra lollies. Ooooo.

Oh no, I hope you'll be ok and it won't affect your taste buds.

Think of all that alcohol and the cricket match coming up!

If I lose my sense of taste, blood will be spilled.

[–] Duenan@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I'll be sure to stay out of your way.

It's for the best 👍
