Goodbye, Covid.

I’ve been a bit under the weather lately, attacked by the virus that is covid.

I can’t believe I’ve been laid so low by something that ought to be mild by now.

It’s been nearly a fortnight and I’m still not over it yet.

After running the gamut of symptoms like sinusitis, conjunctivis, aches and pains and non-stop coughing fits and having to sleep sitting up, now the lethargy has set in.

I wouldn’t wish what I’ve had on anyone. What I had in 202o was a walk in the park compared to this.

It’s pretty much ripped my mojo to shreds, I can tell you. It’s like my internal drive is a piece of pulled pork attacked with a hundred tiny forks.

It’s going to take some piecing together.

Still, things must be looking up because I’ve at long last started ticking off all the tasks on my to-do list, which has never been so satisfying.

Back to normal soon. Whatever that is.
