Week of Flu

Well, it's been one of those un-fun weeks of dealing with Covid sweeping through everyone at work, and therefore also myself and those at home. Not a horrible case of it for me, fortunately, just mild fever for a couple days, sinus flooding before the rainbow when the clouds parted, and now slow recovery with instant exhaustion after doing anything.

My spouse though - she was semi-blah all week but not quite over that cliff, only to finally fall off yesterday. Which is odd, and also conforms to the experience of a friend at work whose whole family got it while he stayed negative (but feeling tired/achy anyway) for over an entire week until over this weekend he spiked a 104+ fever overnight. It's like he and my wife spent the week battling off the oncoming horde and holding on...only to finally go splat. :/

I'm just hoping everyone will be over it and safe to do family things at Christmas next week - but time will tell.

Sadly this meant no real writing accomplished this past weekend, didn't have the energy. Did edit one chapter slightly for character voice, which was nice - but trying to compose the next scene wasn't going to happen. Ah well. I'm glad though that the Bethlehem story was already queued up and ready to go heading into last weekend to post last Monday - hopefully the fans of the Light saga will enjoy the additional backstory it reveals, especially as it's two such reveals in one! :)

Be careful out there though folks, as the plague of our time is still running amok and still doing it's 'infectious prior to showing any symptoms' thing. Take care, and stock up on whatever meds you'd want or need to be prepared!!

. . . and hoping for a speedy recovery for both you and your wife. It’s a good reminder that, even though it’s not the terror it was back in 2020 and 2021, COVID is still a nasty bastard. Stay safe, everyone.

Nasty bastard

Yep, for me it still pays to mask, especially in crowded spaces.

I had it once and it affected me for 3 months. The initial fever was not bad but the hair loss really sucked.

Worst of all was the brain foggery for 1 month and then it took the rest of the time for my sense of smell to come back.

The only silver lining of the latter is that cleaning the cat's sandbox was much more pleasant experience.

And that was with getting it two weeks after getting vaccinated.

I hate the bloody disease and all the stupid people who claim 'it will just solve itself and go away'.

Yeah right.

Solve itself? yes.. sort of.

Solve itself? yes.. sort of. It'll eventually become less lethal and merge in with the other coronaviruses.
Go away? Never.


I'll get a life when it's proven and substantiated to be better than what I'm currently experiencing.
