The wicked alchemy of the human body.

Hello, I’m currently holed up on bed with Covid. My eyes hurt, as though they have swollen into the wrong shape for my head. I have an unceasing head ache. Formerly had chills, and body aches & pains. Occasional nausea, and fits of the dry heaves. No appetite, and kinda dehydrated no matter what I drink, or keep down.

I have a whole ritual around getting up that takes me a while. Gotta psych myself up for it. First the sit up. Sometimes followed by throwing up. Next a sit to a stand. Then a sit to a stand to a walk. Then a sit, stand, walk to a sit, and if I have to lie down at any point the whole thing is shot, back to step one. Ah, the wicked alchemy of the human body. So many strange processes to undergo when sick. Blargh. Also reading hurts my brain just a bit less today.
