Hilarious!
Did you get a selfie??? Grin

Must keep a good sense of humor to counteract the anxiety. Thumbs up

I just got back from 2 grocery stores....one has our pharmacy, but each one had
things the other didn't.

No, I did not get TP. Sticking tongue out
Got that last week, and only one package of the double rolls.
Never thought I'd feel guilty buying TP, but only took what we needed for now.
Plus I'm committed to using at least 1/3 less of consumables, so should last longer.

But it was light at both stores, everyone was calm, only one wearing a mask.
She didn't appear to be sick, but may have been exposed, and was being considerate
of the rest of us.

I did bump (with elbows) into a friend at one market, and she said it's a madhouse still at
Costco, with lines around it....in the pouring rain! D'Oh!
Just not worth going there even if it costs a bit more to shop at a smaller market.

I've been trying to shake a low grade viral infection for 2 weeks. It started in my NP
(nasopharynx) at 4:15pm (I looked) & had spread to my throat by 6:00pm.
But thankfully I was able to call my doctor & get a prescription for antibiotics (Augmentin),
and get a dose while I was at the pharmacy. He's cool with it, i.e. calling it in vs having me come in for a visit first.

That's my basic strategy for preventing a bronchitis in a nutshell.
Treat BEFORE you get sick vs waiting till AFTER you have bronchitis to get antibiotics.
Makes all the difference, at least for me.

Still have the virus albeit low grade now. But no bronchitis. Thumbs up
Last night, though thought I may have gotten the CV, as I had a very
sore throat, especially when swallowing. My wife had it, too.
It was something I hadn't had in a very long time, so resigned myself to possible CV.
However, today all is much better. Smiling

How's your day going??

BTW, if you haven't already, please treemail your friends here who may not
frequent the SandBox, but would benefit from the info & share their stories
Great way to network. Smiling
Learn and/or create something every day.
