Yesterday my mom and I were whining to each other because we’re both experiencing an allergy flare-up that’s making our throats and ears sore, giving us sinus headaches, and filling our bronchial tubes.

And even though we don’t go out (other than walks at night with Roo), we have talked across the yard with masks on to the guy fixing our irrigation system who just informed us that THREE of his employees are out with Covid so he’s understaffed.

I was telling her how annoying AND scary it must be for people who HAVE to be out around people all the time because every time they experience any sort of symptoms they gotta be like oh crap do I have covid?!

And we’re sitting here with almost no chance of getting it worried we might have it.

Mom joked that we should get home tests.

I DID NOT search for it. Neither did she.

As of today Amazon, Walmart, Instacart, and Facebook would all like me to know that I can get home covid test kits for as little as $19.99 each.

I’ve never seen home covid test kits before, so I know they’ve never advertised them to me before yesterday.

Like I know our phones are listening, but could they just be a little more subtle?!

I know I gotta live like this but could ya freak me out A LITTLE LESS PLEASE?!
