Did I mention that I’m sick? It started three days ago, as sniffles. I assumed it was perhaps allergies? The trees are all in bud here, and even tho my seasonal allergies are usually hay-fever in mid-August, who knows? these are different trees and plants – maybe I’m allergic to them.
Then the sneezing started. Okay, so maybe a head cold. But now I started to get worried. I am masked all the time on board and on tours, but not when eating. Ditto the rest of the passengers.
Thursday I felt a tickle in my throat. Crap. This does not bode well. I avoided people all day, having lunch at an outdoor patio in Rouen, rather than in the boat’s enclosed dining room. And the first thing I did upon receiving my suitcase (other than cuddle and carress it for five minutes) was a COVID test. Negative. Whew.
But by Friday night, it had turned into full blown laryngitis. I carried a series of notes to show people – one stated: LARYNGITIS – but don’t worry – my COVID test was negative; and another one said: Une champagne SVP ( I still have my priorities).
I went to bed very worried – what if it’s COVID & I can’t get home. I mean it’s not like the trip hasn’t already been one disaster after another – this would just be the icing on the cake.
Oh no! Hope you feel better soon. COVID sucks. But you don’t have it. But if you do, at least you have some clothes and enough toothbrushes to get you through the isolation period.
Yes, it’s the toothbrushes that everyone knows make the difference. 🙂
So nice to share COVID testing with you!
