I have had Covid twice this year (January and April). Some symptoms, nothing major. I would call the 2nd time a bad cold. I got my 2nd booster on Friday (I am 47, without a compromised immune system, but CVS let me sign up online) before some international travel. I feel worse from the this booster, the first booster, and the second vaccine, than I did either time with Covid. It does make me wonder if I am up to this every six months. I am sure I will continue to do as recommended, but the fever, body aches, and exhaustion are rough.
I understand. Locally, there were several protests/rallies here since the leak, but I am also in IL where I am fortunate to have my rights protected (for now at least). I liked that at the protest today, the theme really was "Protesting is good, but we need to do more than protest." They had information on how to vote, where and when to vote, how to register, etc. (We have a primary election this Tues so was very timely information), and I think that is worthwhile.
I’m in Ohio. 😭 There was a big protest down at the state house this morning. Last week DeWine signed a law limiting the training teachers need to carry guns in schools and our heartbeat law went in effect this morning... It just seems too little too late today. 😞 Like I said, I’m struggling but will rally eventually.
I live in Ohio too. I feel like getting involved in the upcoming governor and senate races is one way we can be productive. The R candidates aren't super likeable and I have hope there's a path to Ds taking both seats.

Quoting bc I'm an Ohioian too, an I'm pissed.
I went to the statehouse rally today by myself, but it felt great to be surrounded by so much rage and determination. It ended with a pissed-off and fired up Tim Ryan.
If you or Monica Geller ever want to meet up for rallying or volunteering, DM me. Maybe we could do it together!
I tested positive for COVID this morning, which was not a surprise but annoying. I took Sudafed and Tylenol this morning and feel ok right now, but slept like crap last night. I do have a fever so I keep feeling hot and gross. I am going to play our 4th of July plans by ear... We aren't going to be out any more money by waiting to see how things go than we would be cancelling now. We may both be totally fine by next weekend but it's too soon to know.
This weekend is just going to be laying around, I guess. I feel bad for my H, he is probably the sickest he has been in the almost 9 years I have known him.
I was wondering how you were doing. I’ve had a sore throat, chills, fever, headache, body aches, loss of appetite. I even had to pull a comforter into the bathroom for Friday night into Saturday morning as I threw up several times. Feeling better today, but still not the best. I’m bored and my back hurts from laying around, lol. I’m going to ask XH if he’ll keep DDs through the holiday; we have no plans anyway. That’ll get me outside my 10 days and will give me time to really clean the house before they come back.
Ugh, that sucks that you have GI issues too! I am glad you are starting to feel better, at least - hopefully that means you'll be good soon. I know what you mean about the pain from laying around... I have no energy to do other stuff, but my bed is no longer all that comfortable!

I will!
I had several friends at the statehouse yesterday. I’m feeling less hopeless today but I know we have a long way to go. The R candidates are awful. I’ve already reached out to Ohio Dems about volunteering again this cycle.
My ice cream bars turned out so good! They aren't as pretty as the WaPo ones (probably because I was lazy and didn't wipe the knife between each slice) but I'm very happy with the outcome. Very good sweet/salty combo.
