Cedar allergies tend to hit me hard this time of year, symptoms always include achiness, fatigue, itchy watering eyes, etc.  But last week I also developed a pretty serious cough and a subsequent sore throat, which are very unusual for my seasonal allergies.  Knowing I had several family gatherings coming up including hanging out with both my own 80-year-old parents, and my 80=year-old inlaws, after several days of those symptoms I decided to go ahead and test myself with a home test we had leftover from testing my daughter a couple of months back.

Luckily it came back negative.  I'm not special, just another year of cruddy allergies.

I had a couple I bought a few months ago. Maybe I should sell my last one on ebay and make a fortune.

I have 2 left. I told the wife she should have bought a dozen two weeks ago when CVS had them. She didn't believe me, so she only bought 4.

Any time I've been around the pharmacy, they've limited you to 2 kits (which is 4 tests) per purchase.  I guess I coulda hit every CVS or Walgreens in a 5-mile radius to stock up but honestly, I'm not that worried about it.

But I am glad I had the leftover test to give me peace of mind when interacting with my 80+-year-old parents over these couple weeks.

well, I took the test - negative

not sure if it's the same test as y'all are talkin bout.  Probably.  This came from the local assisted living facility.  My friend that works there has to take a test weekly and has a stockpile.

As you know, I like Free.

While waiting for the test results, (takes up to 15 minutes) my daughter texted me.  She has been sick with similar symptoms as mine.  Probably gave it to me.  She called in to work telling her manager she was sick a few days ago.  Manager said she had to come into work regardless.  Apparently the manager got it from my daughter and went to the doc this morning.  Tested the manager, she was positive for influenza A.

So, it's likely I have influenza A and not COVID.

I still postponed a dinner party that was planned for Wednesday.

I'm feeling somewhat better this afternoon.  More just fatigued with a cough.

I tested twice when I had a bunch of symptoms, mainly because with kids activities, I didn't want to be the reason they got shut down.  Both times negative.  We all did home tests before seeing family for Christmas, and I actually was more worried about those results, figuring 1 of the 5 of us had asymptomatic Omacron.  Shockingly, but pleasantly surprised to go 0-5

Three weeks ago I took a rapid test at the walk-in clinic - it was negative. But I had symptoms and a known exposure. I took a PCR test same day, a Saturday. On Monday I was informed I was positive. I was told rapid tests are 85% accurate. I am in the elite 15%. I knew something was askew, but I had two Pfizer shots in April, and this being my 2nd course of COVID-19 at age 64, was tolerable. That said, I had two clients die that were younger than me last month of this crap.

Hell, longhorn, if you really want one and $17.50 is too much, I'll mail you the 2nd test in the box I bought the other day.  Free of charge.
