Maybe it’s best to write in your own language first, translate it, and then adjust the words so they sound natural.
So, how’s today? Honestly, kind of a mess. Ulrike’s got COVID. I’m not even sure—COVID-19, COVID-25? Who knows. Anyway, it still seems pretty dangerous. I took her some food, but she’s not hungry. She had a little yogurt a few hours ago. Tonight I’ll try to make her some soup. I haven’t figured out what I’ll eat myself yet. We’ll see.
