Somehow, I still caught it. I've never felt so sick in my life.

Thankfully, I am free to self-isolate in my home and I have everything I need here. I used Instacart to have medicinal supplies delivered last night.

I have a very special birthday vacation coming up in less than four weeks. Really hoping I can overcome the illness in time. I'm planning to not leave the house for the next 4 weeks to be extra safe.
