The panic of the first day got me an N-95 mask and isolation in the master bedroom. That night, i didn't sleep well. Couldn't get comfortable.
Yesterday, more of that. Tired from not sleeping, and perpetually uncomfortable. The best way I've found to describe it is like having the flu, but without the symptoms. I don't seem feverish, I'm not coughing, and my nose is only occasionally leaking.
Last night, the trend continued. I think I may have actually slept from midnight to about 3am, but not comfortable and rested. This morning (it's almost 9 now), I've been up, i went for a walk around the block, and I've tested the family to ensure that i am the only one with Covid so far. (I am.) Thankfully, I'm vaccinated and boosted, and with any luck, this trend of finding more comfort will continue. I don't have to work again until next Monday, so I'm taking advantage of this down time to catch up on some shows that people won't shut up about. Stranger Things is happening, and The Boys will happen next.
Everything you've heard is true. I believe that without vaccination, it probably would have been worse. I believe that these masks are protecting my children, and that the social distancing is proving effective. We are a very affectionate family, and we are safe.
