My family and I got COVID, but we're all okay!

....it was not fun. My birthday was yesterday, and I spent it in quarantine. 0/5 stars--would not recommend! I started to feel sick on Tuesday and did not feel like doing much of anything for about a week. I mostly slept and tried to listen to audio books or stream TV, but I had a hard time just focusing on those things because I felt so out of it. I'm mostly feeling better--which is quite a relief--but I'm still not 100% back to normal. It was really frustrating because we were all vacced and everything, but I hadn't gotten the chance to get my booster shot. I'm going to get it as soon as possible now. Even though my mom was boosted, she *still* got sick. I guess that's just how it is now with Omicron (which is probably what we had based on the sore throats), and I feel like it was bound to happen one of these days since my mom works with young children who are not old enough to get vaccinated. Still, it's frustrating because we try to be safe and had avoided it for almost two years.

Since I didn't feel like doing much, I have some comments and posts to catch up on here on DW. I missed most everything since the 11th. I need to catch up with snowflake_challenge as well. I was thinking of doing the latest challenge tonight, but I'm not sure since I have to get up tomorrow for online training at a reasonable hour for the job I started last fall but have never mentioned here.
