Oh, Laura, that's a lot to deal with! I'm so sorry.

Pix, how are you feeling today? Are you at day 5, or is this day 4?

Today is Day 5 (or 6, depending on how you count it), and I'm feeling mostly normal. Still positive on rapid (not quite as dark a line as it was a couple days ago, at least). I'm hoping to fly home Friday, so long as everything keeps heading in the right direction. That's Day 10 or 11, so although I'll stay KN95 masked the whole time, I'll feel okay flying back. It's a gray, rainy day in Connecticut, so a perfect day to lie in bed and listen to the rain and do nothing...which is what I have to do today anyway. So that works out.

They count Day 1 as the first day after symptoms show up.

I'm using the recommended Day 0 is when the positive test happened, but I technically had symptoms the day before. That's why I go back and forth. But this is pretty much Day 5.

I'm sorry, Laura.

But I'm glad you're feeling better, Pix.

I woke up around 2am from a dream that someone was trying to break into my apartment and had the door half open. When I checked the door it was closed, with the deadbolt and chain both engaged. But I still kept waking up at every noise the rest of the night. So tired.

I'm sorry, Laura.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Oh, ugh, Calli, I hate those dreams that don't even feel like dreams because they take place where you actually are! So hard to shake off and so full of adrenaline.
