I had Covid but was not actually sick (beyond a mildly stuffy nose), and was SO thankful to conveniently have 2 weeks off of work just as the nausea ramped up. Naive little me thought that maybe the worst of it would be over by the time I went back to work. Lol. I went back to work the week of Thanksgiving, and since then every single day was a struggle. I did take o...
