Where have I been?

Well....I ended up getting Covid! I am pretty sure I got it at work while doing inventory mentioned in the last blog post. Right in time for iNSD! I got nothing....nothing scrapped for it! It hit me like a freight train out of nowhere. I went out to run an errand with my sister Monday two weeks ago. I felt perfectly fine. By the time I got home, my neck and shoulders hurt. I thought maybe it was just stress or a migraine coming on. I took a migraine pill, and went to bed. Around 10 pm I was writhing in bed in tears. It felt like my body was being pulled apart from the inside! Medicine was not helping either. My husband did his best to comfort me. I finally was able to fall asleep. When I woke up, I was tired but felt alright. 

As Tuesday progressed, I heard that I had been around someone that had tested positive. And as the evening came, I started sweating all over. For no reason (that I could tell). Then the dry cough started....I knew what it was at that point. Off to the doctor, I went, and sure enough. It was covid. 

I should tell you that I am a bit of a germaphobe, or maybe more of a health anxiety person. I don't really stress about much in life. But I tell you, illness will send me spiraling. I have been living with slight panic over getting Covid. I am insulin resistant, overweight, and pre-diabetic. I was convinced I was going to be one that died from it!! Or that I was going to give it to my husband and son, and they would. I think I handled the panic pretty well through this. 

My husband and son managed not to get it. Yay! I also managed to sit up at home and log 8+ hours a day while sick. Now, I would go straight to bed after clocking out and sleep until the next morning. Most days. But it never got really bad for me. The fatigue was pretty bad a lot of the time. And if I started coughing I would keep going until I was wracked with pain. 

But here I am two weeks later. I am hoping to test negative today so that I can actually go back to work. Don't get me wrong. I enjoyed being at home. I enjoyed being able to have lunch in the same room and talk to my guys every day. But they are both back at work/school today. So I am ready to be as well. 

That being said. I hope that I have time to sit down and scrapbook this week as well. I have a lot of catching up to do. Weeks worth. I was able to sign on on iNSD for a hot minute and buy some goodies. I might just come back and do a quick haul post. What did you get?
