Actual Conversation at Casa de Wellman- Stomach Bonfire Covid Edition

Allergies kind of suck.

They really suck when you’re living in the time of covid. Even though I faithfully take my Clairitin, I still wake up every morning just kind of thinking hey, is that normal itchy throat?

As usual, the one that truly pays the price of my crazy thoughts is Rick. He came home a little early today with an upset stomach.

Me- What do you want for dinner?

Rick, grumbly face- Something gentle!

Me- Poor honeybear, last night’s grilled cheese didn’t do it?

Rick- No, no it didn’t. You do know that you can quit making things spicier and spicier, just to make sure you can still taste, right? YOU DON’T HAVE COVID.

Me- shocked Pikachu face

And then I thought about it… and I realized he’s right. I’ve made meatloaf, dragonmeat x2, spaghetti, and the latest offender, chili, over the past week. All of them had a little more kick than usual.

My bad.
