So it Starts. Again.

Period started again this morning. Grrrrr. I’d really, really hoped that it would be finished. But no. Had a horrible headache last night. Not a migraine, but migraine levels of pain. The reason why it wasn’t a migraine is because there were no secondary symptoms – lights weren’t stabby, I didn’t have horrible ringing in […]

Eighteen Days

Monday was somewhere between a Meh day and a Bad day. It actually started Sunday night, around 8 PM. Could feel the clouds coming in, my brain shutting down. Monday, I had to drive in the morning, and that used up all my spoons. Otherwise, I might have been able to write a little. During

Recap of COVID

Despite a second night of not great sleep, I’m still feeling better. Enough so, that I’m declaring that I’m finally well again. I need to rebuild my strength. I’m going to start walking again today. Just a bit, not as much as usual. The key here is to do a little something more each day,

Day Six of COVID

Despite not sleeping well last night, I’m still feeling better. I don’t think I’m 100% over being sick. Almost there. I figure tomorrow I might not feel sick anymore and just be recovering. So what am I going to do today? Absolutely nothing. I am *not* going to push with this thing. If this was

Though technically, this could be day five, given that it was five days ago when I got hit by that really bad headache. Some people who have had mild cases like this have said that today and tomorrow are possibly going to be the worst of the days. I believe them. The good news: Around

Day Three of COVID

At this point, I’m 99% certain I have COVID-19, and not anything else. It remains mild. After a nap yesterday morning, I woke up feeling a lot better. Went outside for a short walk. Instead of just walking around the house (all flat) I decided to walk up to the upper meadow to look at

Day Two of Whatever

Chances are, I have COVID. However, it is an extremely mild case, if that’s what it is. Yesterday, when we checked, I was running a very mild fever. In addition, about 24 hours after that initial headache started, my chest grew constricted. I am not having any difficulty breathing. But when I take a deep

Paranoia? Or COVID?

Friday, later in the afternoon, I got hit with a really bad headache that seemed to come out of nowhere. Crap. Do I have IT? Am I sick? Can I still breathe? My husband says that I’m one of the most stubborn people he knows. I leaned into that stubbornness Friday afternoon. I had a
