4/7/2023 - covid get!
Mood: Weary.
I am very sad to report that I have caught COVID-19. I suppose I knew I would get it eventually, but I liked pretending that my immune system was just really good. Luckily, I haven't gotten any family members sick, so that's a relief. I ended up heading back home and got sick the DAY I got back. I'm recovering okay enough, but I think I might have long COVID. I've been a lot more fatigued and kinda been having breathing problems, but they're not serious. Don't worry, I'm seeing a doctor about it... I just hope it clears up.
As for the whole death thing, I'm feeling a bit better about the whole thing. I've gotten back into interacting with my roommates, although they were a bit awkward when I came back. I can't blame them. First time they've actually ever seen me upset about something. We talked a bit about our memories of my family member (everyone was pretty close with them) which made me feel a little better. They've also been helping me out and covering for me a bit more because of my new symptoms. Some of them have had COVID before too, but that was before we moved in together, and it (apparently) was not as bad as whatever I went through.
I really don't have much to say this time. I just wanted to check in since I'm doing better and because I've been gone for a month. Since I'm still not feeling good, I'm just focusing on work and also trying to learn shell scripting, among other things. Even though I'm a Linux user, I don't really ... understand ... how to use it efficiently. I still don't understand grep. My compsci classes from college failed me.
That's about it. I'm gonna see if my girlfriend wants to watch a movie.
