Christmas Eve: I have the flu, fiancé has COVID.
I've been sick for about a week with the flu, which sucked on its own as it started the first day of my pre-planned PTO. Partner came home from work this evening with similar symptoms, so I didn't think much of it at first. Once he mentioned he couldn't smell the bathroom soap I made him take a COVID test immediately. Turns out most of his coworkers have been sick all week and no one bothered to take a COVID test (or just stay home).
Not only are we missing Christmas with our family, but we can't exactly celebrate together unless we wanna risk infecting each other. We're just sleeping on opposite sides of the house and hoping for the best.
Hope everyone who celebrates has a much merrier Christmas than our household!
