calm down susan

I'm stuck in my boyfriend's parents' house with them and him, and I have a low fever so I have to spend most of my time in a separate room. I'm trying to maintain a positive outlook and focus on gratitude that I have the ability to self-isolate, I'm only mildly sick, my financial situation is stable, etc. But my boyfriend's mom is the queen of worrying and overreaction. If she GASPS out loud again the next time I tell her something benign like my temperature went from 99.5 to 100, I'm going to yell. Calm down and donate the extra masks you bought, Susan. (Also, you're the reason I'm sick. Thanks.)
