canyonwalkerA few days ago I thought both Hawk and I had colds. It turns out it's not a pair of colds, just one. While I had a few cold symptoms on Wednesday morning that I thought would get worse, they instead essentially disappeared during day. I still enjoyed taking the day off from work even for what turned out to be a head-fake of a cold.
Hawk, meanwhile, has continued to suffer a real cold. She was able to work from home Wed-Fri so as not to need to take time off. (I took time off because with my "unlimited" time off policy, it's like "Why not?" Plus, my work is sloooow right now.)
I'm impressed that with her coughing, runny nose, and hoarse voice the past 3 days I haven't caught it. Our home isn't big enough for one of us to meaningfully isolate from the other. We decided a few years ago at the start of the Coronavirus pandemic that if one of us gets it, we have to assume we'll both get it. Well, I didn't get Covid when Hawk did in June, and now I've resisted this cold virus, too. Yay, my immune system!
