i wasn't surprised but i tested positive for covid about eight seconds ago.

as soon as i got the two ugly bars i was muttered "screw you dad's boss bruh" under my breath
because technically it's his fault! he's the one who went to las vegas, got covid, got it to my dad, who got it to me!
if you can't tell the sarcasm, this is a reference to a movie where a woman drops her coffee and says, "gosh darn my husband [jim] (don't remember his name lol)" because he's the one who had a fight with her last night, made her tired, making her drink two cups of coffee and she dropped the second one.

i always thought that was hilarious, so.

anyways, i went to school and to practice and god i was in living hell. in school i had like 5 people ask me if i was okay because i looked like was going to pass out... and i was literally trying so hard to act like i was fine.

i mean, i suppose i'm good at hiding feelings but really sucky at hiding my physical unwellness. which is i guess good in a way, because we had a really crappy practice today and at least i have an excuse for why i hit lighter than a u12 player.

what's the crisis?

uhm so basically i have to get my picture taken tomorrow. not for volleyball (we did that today hahah)
because i won an art contest and they want my picture
the person was SO strict about it too...

they emailed me saying "hi [flec], we need you for your picture at 8:55 am precisely. you'll be excused from your class. don't be late and come directly on time."

soooooo what do i do?

it's kind of wrong to go to school and take a picture when i know i have covid. but at the same time, i really need this taken and it's my only chance to. so my mom and i are thinking for me to just go for the picture and come straight back and go with a thick k94 white mask on and hold my breath while i take it. my mom's saying it's going to be kkay but i still have my doubts...

anyways i'm unfortunately much sicker than i was last time. i definitely coughed more and had a more sore throat and couldn't taste anything, but i still had a good appetite and felt kkay and stuff. now, i have a splitting headache, fatigue, and really bad muscle pains for some reason...

my dad was trying to hype me and was like "heyyy isn't covid a lot weaker now? i was barely sick hahah. it's all going to be kkay!"

and i just side-eyed him while opening another box of throat lozenges (which, btw, are much better than cough drops imo!"

2 embarrassing moments:
i carpooled with my friend today (before i knew i had covid) and she put on disney songs to karaoke!
she's in choir and a pretty alright singer
i got my mom's genes so i'm a pretty decent singer too

so we were singing love is an open door and you know the part that's the highest, right? the part that goes:

"life could so much more
with you
with you
with you
WITH YOUUUUUUUUUUUU"

well, unfortunately i was the part of hans, who does the WITH YOUUUUUUUUU part and i got the WORST voice crack i have ever gotten in my entire life.

her mom couldn't even hide her laugh

i was so embarrassed...

the next embarrassing moment happened 5 minutes after that. i don't know why we kept choosing the hardest disney songs in existence, but we chose speechless from aladdin. which btw, is my favourite aladdin song, but it's also one of the more difficult disney songs in my opinion.

like trust me, i can sing it pretty well (for the first minute, and then my voice starts dying after lol)

but i was like

iwOnT be siiiLEEEEEEEENCED

super duper embarrassing...

i suggested we sing taylor swift and purposely asked for an easier song but the car ride ended... i suppose i'll have to prove myself next time!

ps: also you know how you're always the sickest in the morning?
