More Brains

My Dear Princess and Dear Fellow,

Well. I finally have COVID. It finally got me. 

I was surprised. I do not wish to be macho about it* but I really did think I just had a cold. I think I've got really lucky and caught a mild version.

I've been tired and achey, sneezed a bit, coughed a bit. Mainly I had a foggy head. But I've definitely had way worse colds. 

But when I heard Manda had COVID I thought I should do a test. And hey, what do you know! Two lines!

So I am NOVID no more. 

Caro seems ok so far. I'm trying to steer clear but obviously it is not easy.

Caro is forcing me to take these sachet things. They are like gloopy blobs of vitamin C. You plop them into water and swallow them and try not to think about drinking orange-flavoured snot. 

When you plop them into water, they look brain-like, so Caro will often ask me if I have had "my brains" for the day. Which makes me feel like the Tar Man from "Return from the Living Dead". 

BRAINS...!! BRAAAAAAAAINSSSS...!!!

S. 

* Or macho about anything. Even typing the word "macho" makes me feel like a fraud.
