Today is day four with the flu. [View all]

Sore throat and coughing still hanging on. It was suggested to me I should get a COVID test, but I just don't have the energy to get up, take a shower, get dressed and drive to the drug store. Maybe tomorrow.

Which is pretty much my way of handling everything: maybe tomorrow.

Is this forum okay for this?
