Different than the first time and hopefully on the tale end of it. Mostly, I have a nagging cough and difficulty sleeping. The kids just had cold symptoms. My dad got hit a little harder but is mostly better now. My mom somehow stayed negative. We had to push back our trip South. I am not as productive at work and falling behind. This is ( Read more... )

We had to put our dog down on Thursday.  It was the most difficult decision I had to make in a long time.  She was overnight at the vet a few days, and she did not improve.  The vet pretty much said she would not get better.  We brought her home, so the kids to see her.  I was also somewhat hopeful that she might do better when she got home.  I was ( Read more... )

Our dog is in the animal hospital for a few days and will hopefully recover.  She stopped eating.  She had some issues since we got back from vacation.  The vet is optimistic.  She is eating there and getting hydrated. She is 15 years old, so any additional days will be a blessing ( Read more... )

My doctor won't see me until covid is ruled out, so I had another test yesterday. I am still awaiting results. This delay is causing unease. I keep losing 2-3 hours during workdays, and I am going to fall really far behind. I know this should not be my main concern, but it is an underlying stressor.

I had my vaccine on Thursday. My arm progressively worsened as the day went on. It was much worse than the flu or other vaccine shots. I was hoping that was the worse of it. When I woke up Friday, the side effects hit. I was extremely fatigued and out of it. This lasted all day. The entire day was a blur, and struggled to stay awake. The ( Read more... )

I am on day 4 of 10 for quarantine. My boy's daycare had a student(s) with COVID. Daycare is cancelled. I am home working (where I am most days) but with laughter and playing downstairs. It is good, in a sense, to have this energy, awe, and wonder for more hours than usual. However, I am pretty convinced I have COVID. I have this feeling that ( Read more... )

Been battling a cold for over a week. I was so ill over the weekend that I had a Covid test on Monday, which was negative. I am still not better. I missed the flu shots that were given out on Friday at my office. It is just another layer of fatigue and frustration with this current illness. I am hoping to catch up on some rest this weekend. I ( Read more... )

Got take out from a small local place last night to help keep it stay in business. My buddy used to work there, and he is friends with the owners. It would be sad to have this place go out of business due solely to COVID. We are going to try to get takeout/curb service 1-2 times per week from smaller businesses despite the costs ( Read more... )
