I've got covid a second time. First time was very mild, then after the vaccine and 2 boosters this round is quite a bit worse. Might be a different strain, but probably got a higher exposure this time too. Not terrible, I've had worse flus, but pretty uncomfortable. Wednesday I had the thermostat at 81F and wore a thermal shirt so I didn't get chilled every time the AC kicked on.

Now the fever is gone and I'm just coughing a lot.

Family reunions are about playing elaborate card games while an aunt complains about how oppressive covid restrictions were (in Alabama), then returning home and 1 in 5 people is sick within 2 days.

I think next year I'm going to roll the dice and plant the garden a month early. If there's a late freeze I'll just replant, but the early heat waves were the bigger problem the last couple years.
