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?

If this is COVID, it would be my third bout with it. I figured it's flu because I feel different than I did with COVID.
