18. What word do you almost always mispronounce? What word do you always mistype?

Salsa; I end up giving the second "s" more of a "z" sound. Not sure on the typing; auto-correct does help that some.

We took an at home COVID test on Wednesday, both negative. My husband has a virtual appointment with the NP this morning, so hopefully things will be back to normal soon. It has hit him harder than me (but that is not surprising, since he has asthma.) I have a bit of a cough and just feel lethargic. I did work out yesterday, but just could not face getting into the pool this morning at 6.

So, far 2022 has been a little sucky for us; although I am grateful that his blockage was discovered before any heart episode could happen. Having the flu right after has been disconcerting and sends my wacky worries into the stratosphere.

So not COVID? Just the flu? Good news. Reminds me of mother & I at Xmas.

It's anxiety inducing getting sick now. Glad you are feeling better, hope he feels better soon.

I feel like the home test should be pretty accurate, since we were both symptomatic and both showed negative; thinking I might get a blood test in the future to see what antibodies show up.

Not really sure if it is flu or another virus the NP said was going around. Due to his asthma and history of lung infections they prescribed an antibiotic and steroid for him, so they should kick in the next couple of days.

Same thing happened with mother & I. Mother took two COVID tests. I took four. One prior to seeing her (at home), after I caught what she had (at home) and rapid aka lateral PCR, then when I got back with mild symptoms (still had a bit of a cough), a saliva PCR (most accurate) - all were negative.

I'm not bothering with a blood test when I see the doctor in April - there won't be any or they're hooked up with the Booster from October.

We had the cough, the runny nose, and mild fatigue. Basically a cold. It ended after two - three weeks.
