Last Saturday 05/28 I woke up to a sore throat and ear ache. Also felt pressure in my head. Took aspirin and Tylenol and slept most of the day. Sunday felt normal. Did have a deep cough the was very infrequent. Felt fine/normal most Sunday. Felt fine Memorial Day. Felt fine yesterday TU 05/31.

Woke-up this morning WE 06/01 and did not feel fine. Even considered calling in sick for a split second, but dismissed calling in sick because I am the only driver to get all eight of us to work. Only me plus three others rode today. I was not feeling great at work and left after three hours of work.

The transit authority that we get our vanpool from allows four rides home each calendar year via taxi for riders. I told the other three to take a taxi home.

Came home, slept for six hours, took a COVID test and was POZ. Welp, I went just over two years without catching COVID. For me, it's like a cold plus hay fever. The worst symptom that I have is watery eyes (ergo thinking I had a cold + hay fever at the same time. The cottonwood pollen is so much and so thick, it looks like its snowing in 70+-degree weather). The second worse symptom is my internal organs ache.

Other than that, the occasional sneeze, the occasional deep cough, I feel somewhat fine/normal. Going to give Urgent Care a call in the morning to see if I can get that drug that is available now while you have COVID.
