Q:

~~Definitely lying awake at night beating myself up for~~ uh, cooking? It's cooking. I default to making stuff from scratch anyway

I'm still sick, this is bullshit :/ I wanna get back out to the gem fields but a walk around the block has me coughing up my lungs.

Why are people so cavalier about infecting people, you wouldn't feed someone bad food, why do people insist on hosting social events while sick? Sickness isn't inevitable, it spreads largely through deliberate decisions. I know of no infection you're better off having than not, many infections could kill or cause long term damage.
