4:50pm on Day Ten

I am toast. I don’t know that I have ever felt this exhausted in my entire life. I haven’t been physically active today, but I have been “on” mentally all day. I had a 2 hours and 15 minute meeting this morning followed by a 1 hour and 15 minute meeting followed by a very quick lunch followed by a 1 hour and 45 minute meeting and all time in between those meetings was spent catching up on the piles of messages that built up while I was otherwise occupied. My Covid brain has been reduced to the mushiest of mush.

I feel like I could punch out at 5:30 and go right to bed. Sweet Christmas has today been taxing. I would have been worn out without having Covid on top of everything else, but this is just nuts.

The plan for tonight is to make dinner for me and my beloved, nothing special just some chicken in the air fryer and some instant mashed potatoes, then maybe fall asleep in the comfy chair in the living room while pretending to watch 90210 with Jen or, if Jen wants to go to her computer and play some World of Warcraft, then fall asleep in the comfy chair while pretending to watch the Red Sox get trounced by the Devil Rays. Either option would be acceptable to my mushy brain.

  1. Oh, I somehow missed that you have Covid. I’m so sorry to hear this and want to encourage you in the strongest terms to do as little as possible during this time. It’s been documented that those who try to “push through it” frequently end up dealing with Long Covid. I wouldn’t even stare at a screen or book, just give your entire system much-needed rest. As for work? You are ill and shouldn’t have to attend meetings. I know I’m a stranger, but I hope you’ll take care of yourself as best you can. I’m sending ALL good wishes for a full recovery.
