Hey So as you may or may not have noticed (probably not because it hasn't been /that/ long but) I sorta just disappeared for a week or so! I haven't been logging onto Scratch a lot :< Sorry about that! I recently got *drumroll please* the coronavirus! -w- Technically speaking tho, my mom took 2 different tests and tested positive for covid, but the day that she got her test results, my brother and I started experiencing the symptoms. Then the symptoms proceeded to get worse and worse throughout each day. It got to a point where I could barely stand without my heart beating really fast and having shortness of breath. I felt lots of headaches, weakness, achiness, constant coughing, shortness of breath, rapid heartbeat, loss of taste, loss of smell, and fevers almost every day! Buuuuuut, the symptoms have gotten way way way better. As of right now, I'm feeling none of the symptoms I listed earlier besides some coughing (definitely not as frequently as before). And my smell/taste haven't completely come back yet. Other than that, I'm pretty good! My brother and mother have been getting better too! We would absolutely not be where are, though, without the help of so many friends!!! As soon as my mom received her covid test results back, she quarantined us and we never went out of the house. She had to tell her job that she couldn't come in, but that she could still temporarily work from home for them. For the next few days, tons of people from her work have swung by the house to drop off food, groceries, and more for us (we would never come into full contact with them, they would leave the food on our porch and then run back to their car before we could open the door)! They're all soooo generous, omg. We have so much extra food, our refrigerator is stocked full of both homemade and store-bought nom-noms!! Even people who we barely know have given us food. It makes me feel so lucky to be surrounded by such kind and generous folks. We're sending personalized thank you notes to each and every person who gave us these delicious gifts. Although I am a bit sad because we could barely taste the majority of the food they gave us T-T Since we have leftovers and our taste senses are coming back, I'm sure we'll taste everything sooner or later, so that is good news! :3
