Incremental Improvement

[mousme]

Another very short post tonight. I am improving steadily, which is nice. Mostly I have some lingering congestion and a whole lot of fatigue. KK and I spent the day watching bad TV and bad movies, even by my standards. KK has some honestly appalling taste in television, so I retreated to listening to stuff on my phone while she watched Judge Judy, and then she inflicted National Treasure on me, which I managed to avoid for the past 20 years and which finally caught up with me today. KK keeps inflicting terrible Nicholas Cage movies on me for some reason (last year it was Face/Off).

The rest of the time I spent watching the law commentary YouTube channel Runkle of the Bailey (which I love for the name), who is covering a real life trial which I got weirdly invested in last summer. I am not normally a True Crime Girlie, but this whole case has been so wild that it has caught my attention and I am really hoping to see a not guilty verdict, because if there's anything I hate, it's police incompetence, misconduct, and corruption, and this case is rife with it. (It's the Karen Read trial in Massachussetts, if you're wondering.) Honestly, this whole thing is so far outside my normal sphere of interest that I barely recognize myself, and yet here I am. *shrugs* I got nothing.

Tomorrow I have Ministry & Counsel, and I am hoping to be able to get through that time without completely losing my voice.

On that note, it's time for bed. Catch you on the flip side, friends!

I'm glad you are starting to feel better - I hope you get over it quickly with no lingering effects!

Thank you, and me too! The last thing I need is Long Covid *just* as I get to move into the hobby farm of my dreams. I carried a box up the stairs from the basement today and it took me a good five minutes to start breathing normally again, so I'm not quite out of the woods yet!

I'm sorry to say that even after I felt well better, my lungs and ...breath stamina? Were the last thing to recover. Well and my boobs still turn a bit purple when I'm overheated (I got so many delightful weird side symptoms, but purple boobs was the weirdest for sure)

Purple boobs is a first for me! That is definitely a weird symptom.

I looked it up at the time and it wasn't just me :x It was basically just an expression of the kind of vascular associated rashes some people got.

Well, that sounds deeply unpleasant. :(

It wasn't uncomfortable, just weird! But a good reminder (as if I needed one) that covid isn't just a lung issue.
