My COVID-19 Diaries: Week Three and Counting

Welcome back to my COVID-19 chronicles, where testing positive for the virus seems to have become the unexpected theme of my life. As I venture into my third week of quarantine, it's safe to say that COVID decided to extend its stay in my system, much like an unwanted houseguest who just won't leave - rude, right?


The Never-Ending Story of Being "Positive"


Do you know that feeling when everyone around you is over COVID, but COVID isn't over you? Yup, that's me. I've become a devoted follower of the 'COVID-for-eternity' club, where the main perk is testing positive week after week. Forget winning the lottery; my lucky numbers are the digits on the COVID test result!




Symptoms that Just Won't Quit


Breathing difficulties? Check. Fatigue that feels like I just ran a marathon (without even leaving my bed)? Double-check. It's like my body is hosting a symphony of unpleasant sensations, and trust me, the tickets to this show are not worth it. Who knew a tiny virus could cause such chaos? Imagine a rock concert you didn't ask for, headlined by shortness of breath and backed by a fever band.


Daily Dose of Quarantine Life


My life has turned into a real-life version of Groundhog Day, but with more naps and less Bill Murray. I spend my days snoozing, putting on my best 'I'm totally fine' voice for mum, and gazing out the window like a melodramatic teenager in a music video. Welcome to the thrilling world of quarantine, where a new YouTube video is the highlight of the day, and making it to the kitchen without collapsing deserves a gold medal!


Lessons Learned the Quarantine Way


So, turns out I'm basically a pro at finding joy in the tiniest of things after just three weeks. The sweet breeze sneaking in through a slightly open window, managing to eat one meal without feeling queasy, and the symphony of noises from the outside world - these are my shining moments in a sea of positive test results and congested sinuses. Who would've thought a pandemic could turn me into a connoisseur of life's little pleasures? Well, maybe not so much a connoisseur, but hey, I'm getting there!


A Positive Outlook (No Pun Intended)


As I navigate through the rollercoaster of COVID symptoms and endless days at home, I've come to realise that humour truly is the best medicine. Laughter might make you cough a bit more in my case, but it also eases the heaviness of these strange times. So, here's to sticking it out, staying positive (no, not in the COVID sense), and hoping that one day soon, I can bid farewell to this unwelcome viral guest.


In conclusion, my COVID journey continues - a tale of unexpected twists, persistent symptoms, and a never-ending test cycle. Stay tuned for more updates from the realm of quarantine quirks, where even a global pandemic can't stop me from finding the light moments in the darkness.


So, until next time, remember to mask up, wash those hands, and keep your distance. And if COVID comes knocking at your door, well, just make sure to have a good sense of humor handy!


Stay safe, stay hilarious!
