9:53pm on Day Four

I’m just about ready for bed. Maybe one more episode of Doctor Who and then I’ll pack it in for the night. I was not able to take a nap at all today and I am super exhausted. Is anyone giving odds on whether or not I will spontaneously wake up at 4:00am for a fourth day in a row? Here’s hoping I will not.

I’ve sort of had my mind made up that I would be able to work on Friday. Now that Friday is imminent, I really think that was too optimistic a goal. I am going to commit myself to working in the morning at least and then maybe going out sick in the afternoon if I need to.

I have been fever free all day today, which is nice. Other than the dizziness I think I have probably shown some improvement, but I am definitely not out of the Covid woods yet. The dizziness prompted me to skip this evening’s Paxlovid dose. I took three out of 10. My wife has had better luck. She took her ninth out of ten tonight. She’ll be through the whole coarse in the morning. Good for her. She was able to work a little this morning but it wore her out and she had to call out sick in the afternoon. Hopefully she’ll have better luck tomorrow. Hang in there, Jen. You’re almost through it and I am right behind you.

Okay, I have about 15 minutes left of Doctor Who season 13 episode 12 Pyramids of Mars Part 4, and then it’s off to sleep on the couch for me. Good night, gentle readers. Sweet dreams to you all.
