    Went to urgent care this morning for a stuffy nose and dry cough. Turns out that I have a mild case of bronchitis. I am happy that it wasn't covid. I am also happy I won't need antibiotics. Just a few days rest and I will be better.

    My mom has been fighting COVID for over a week. She says all she has is a little congestion, but still keeps testing positive.

    Chicken soup would be my normal at this time. Expect that I stopped buying it a couple years ago. After the change to my diet, I can't hardly eat anything processed anymore.

    I do make sure to get plenty of rest and plenty of liquids though.

    As long as this stays a mild bronchitis, I will be happy that it isn't worse than it is. This will take less time to recover from than it would take to recover from covid or the flu. So even though I am sick, I still lucked out.

    I don't think there's a recipe out there that you can't find a Youtube video that shows you step by step how to do it.

    Cooking is easy, especially if you have a passion for it.

    Ouch! Sorry your wife is sick.

    Is this her first time getting covid?

    You guys wear masks in Vegas?

    We've got plans to go to Vegas in 3 weeks.

    Dang. I'm sorry about that.

    When my wife got it we just crawled in bed together and watched TV for the next week and a half.

    I tested positive the morning after she did.

    I wish that I would have done that, but instead I quarantined and ended up getting it 4 days later, prolonging both of our suffering.
