Month: April 2022

I feel pretty spacey and kind of rotten right now. Odd aches and pains cropping up. My mind is floating and sort of not too sharp today. Not going to make any major decisions about anything while I feel this whacked out. DayQuil and NyQuil have blunted the worst of it, or so I believe. Nose fluctuates between badly blocked and a runny mess. Cough comes and goes, same with that pinched soreness in the esophagus. This could just be a nasty cold, and not even a flu at this point, I don’t know. I had a mild fever a few days ago, and even though I have periods where I’m sweaty, my temperature is in my normal range. Yesterday’s nausea was brief, and from not eating enough. Been drinking and snacking while watching the kids. They are both on the up & up, which I great. I hope to come out of this funk in another day or two. Peace out broseph.

I say Flu, because thus far after three tests no Covid has shown up. I think we managed to catch the flu, from my youngest child, and her kindergarten classmates. Not surprising. Cough is sporadic but wracking when in full fit. Makes my throat and chest ache. Otherwise feel less awful than Saturday. Both kids have thrown up at some point in the last few days. Keeping ourselves hunkered down, watered, fed and comfortable. Take care out there.

As that really threw me for a loop yesterday. What was a terrible nights sleep, followed by fatigue, spaciness, blocked up sinuses, slight fever and a cough. Now, mostly gone, or subdued by half at least. Unpleasant, but no Covid positive test as of yet. So that was a fun way to spend Friday evening through Sunday morning. I’m not 100% yet, but I feel a hell of a lot better.

So that’s a thing that came home from school with my youngest child. Which is not great.

Time to get our taxes in order, so have a great lazy Sunday.

**Tested for the third time, still negative even though Friday & Saturday were the worst I’ve felt since Jan of 2020. So it looks like the flu. Glad we had flu shots as well as our Covid vaccinations. Hearing of lots of family friends coming down with Covid recently. That shit is spreading like wildfire. Fingers crossed for all of our friends with kids too young to get vaccinated yet. Thinking of you all.

Kids brought home a lovely little head cold that has taken up room and board in my sinuses. Blocking my nose, and giving me a deep throbbing headache, and sore throat to boot. Not going to do much of anything today, if I can help it. Maybe it’ll pass by Monday. I have to work towards that hope!

Take it easy out there. A bit thank you to those whom have consistently followed along with the 39 chapters of book two. Several more to come, and then on to something else.

I did something that I never thought I would do, I published a book. It was an item on my bucket list, and a personal goal that I had set for myself many, many years ago. I was very proud to have done so, and I am proud of the single sale that the book garnered from Kindle Unlimited. Following on the heels of such profound success, I am drawing to a close on book two. I’m about 10,000 words from the end, give or take. And as happy as I am about that, I’m also kind of sad. Maybe I’ll try to write some fantasy stuff, or I’ll stick with a dystopian POV of a supposed utopian society. Who knows.

Spent all day yesterday catering to my sick child, and now my throat hurts, and I feel less than 100%. I’ve tested twice in the last ten days, same as our children, and thus far, it’s not showing up as Covid, but just a common Cough due to cold. Fingers crossed it isn’t Covid. We are one of very few families around here, who still mask up at school, work, while shopping in person if we can’t order it online.

Trust April 1st to bring us ground covering snow, the day after it was 17 degrees Celsius and sunny, and windy. Gotta love it.
