TMP81: Colds

TMP monday peeve kitty cat

Welcome to my refreshed Monday Peeve! Unburden yourself of an annoyance and you’ll feel better afterward. Or not. Complain in my comments or crab in your own post. Doesn’t have to be on a Monday. You do you.

Colds suck. Colds suck even more in the time of Covid. In the time of Covid, you’re not simply sniffly, achy, tired, feverish, coughy, and throat hurty, but you’re all those things plus also freaking out thinking you might have Covid. I took two Covid tests, and both were negative, but I still was anxious about it so I took a third one on cold day 5. Still no Covid. Yay. But it’s all super-stressful on top of feeling like crap.

Oh, and being stuffy triggers migraines for me, so there’s that too. Did I mention that colds suck?

    Colds suck! Hope you feel better soon.
    My peeve seems trivial. Shipping costs for Canada Post. I try to support small businesses as much as I can but when the cost of shipping is almost as much as the gift itself it’s hard.

    Hope today you’re feeling some better. 🙂 Colds are not fun. I haven’t had anything like that since early 2020 when I’m pretty sure I had covid and was in the hospital. But last night I was getting worried because of a little fever, coughing, and runny stuffy nose. I didn’t take a test, and today I feel fine.

    Paula I think some of those covid tests aren’t accurate. My son had what almost certainly was covid but the test said negative. Please take good care of yourself and get well soon.

    So sorry!! I might be concerned, but one thing is, if I have a cold and have to go out, I will wear a mask to protect others. 🤷🏻‍♀️

    I read that we should be prepared for a trifecta of respiratory maladies this winter: flu, RSV (Respiratory syncytial virus), and, of course, COVID.

    I’m with you on colds. I thought I was getting over mine, and now it is my nose that feels like it is running.

    Hope you feel better soon. 💙
    My pet peeve is minor—people (other than close family) who drop in without calling first. Oh, and anyone who calls very early in the morning, or late at night, just to talk. I know, I’m cranky.
