Spinning Onwards

Well the world is continuing to spin despite me still feeling pretty awful.

I've "improved".  In brackets because I'm still pretty sick, just not the sick I was a handful of days ago.

I managed to get out of the house with a walk to the mailbox that resulted in a few coughing fits.  On Tuesday I got myself to the store for some groceries (wearing an N95 despite testing negative for Covid for a week now, why not protect others from whatever the heck this damn thing is...) although I have no real desire to eat them although I know I likely should.

Yes, I've lost a few pounds with the lack of appetite which I'm sure will be a temporary loss so I'm not worried about it (be nice if I could keep it off but "sick" weight loss is not healthy weight loss).  I now would say I feel (and sound) like I have a terrible head cold with a nasty cough.  Sometimes cold meds seem to help and sometimes it's like I didn't take them and I don't know why.

I was lucky to get an appointment to see my doctor so we'll see if they have anything to add or change or advise. 

I have a bit more energy (generally from late morning to early afternoon) so have washed all my sheets and things (get those germs gone!) and while I did drive to get groceries, I am a little concerned about getting a coughing fit like I did while on the highway on the way to work next week so we'll see what the doctor says about that (although I'm starting to get a bit antsy about missing stuff.)

I'm missing water fitness, but not sure when that'll be doable, and I'll hate being someone coughing away while exercising (if the cough lingers) so who knows what the next while looks like, really.

Other than that I am both trying to not look too closely at what's going on in the world (American mostly) but also absolutely horrified and afraid of what is going on.  Sleeping/resting 12+ hours a day helps with that a little I guess?
