AYRT--yeah, I'd just assumed that I'd at least get one positive test in the bunch if I had it. Had it once already and the home tests caught it then. But I guess the tests don't always pick up newer variants. I have a couple old tests that are a different brand; maybe I'll try one.
Ugh, I don't want this to be covid. At least this time I won't have to walk 11 miles for a lab test because I'm using my own sick time (dammit) so I don't need a positive lab test to get paid.
Last time, I had positive home tests but work wouldn't pay me without a lab test and I wasn't about to ask for a ride, take a rideshare, or get on a bus and trolley to go to a testing site when I knew I had covid. So I walked to the nearest testing site the first day I stopped puking everywhere. 6.5 miles each way. Still angry about having to do that.
And I'm not taking public transit again until I've stopped horking green slime everywhere.
My boss let me know no one else called out sick this week, and I was last at work Saturday, so maybe at least I didn't pass whatever this is to my coworkers. Just my cat.
Aside from making sure she eats her meat glop and drinks water and has a warm, soft, dry hidey hole, I can't think what else to do for her.
I may get a warm wet rag tomorrow and clean her up a bit; she's started grooming herself again, but she got pretty grotty squeezing herself into dusty corners and behind the stove before she settled on the new box and clean blanket I'd set up for her. I know cat lungs and kidneys are less resilient than human ones and there's no such thing as a cat safe otc pain med, so as long as she's getting food and fluids idk what a vet could do either.
