I just spent almost $40 to get an at-home rapid COVID test delivered ($24 plus tax for the test itself, $8 delivery fee, $3 tip for the driver).
Very probably, it's just a combination of seasonal allergies and feeling cruddy from getting a flu shot yesterday. But cough + tight chest + muscle aches and tiredness = I'd better not go to work tomorrow without testing.
And if I don't have COVID, tomorrow I will buy another test kit to keep at home in case of future need. I don't begrudge the fee or the especially the tip, but . .
ETA: Negative, yay! I'll retest in a couple of days, as the instructions recommend, but I feel pretty confident that I'm fine. There's a distinct "sick" feeling that I get when I'm sick as opposed to having allergies, which I don't really have today despite feeling yucky. But it seemed like a good idea to be cautious and test.
