Illness is Tedious

Really. I’m tired of being tired, sick of being sick, and irritated at my gastrointestinal irritation.

Accurate representation of how I feel.

I envy people who get mild cases of Covid, that’s for sure. I do feel better in the sinus and coughing aspect, but the medications have made my digestion very sad and painful.

Work was a struggle, but by gosh I did the meetings and fixed the documents I needed to fix. It’s a good distraction, really. And I can talk better, so meetings have been easier at least! If I’m better tomorrow I can get the bunch of new assignments I got started.

I’ll share some sunset views from my east-facing condo.

I’ll be better set up for healing, thanks to my friend Cathy, who didn’t get as sick as I did. She picked up helpful medicine and things that will soothe me, like bananas, yogurt, and Pedialyte. I’m sure grateful to have nearby friends!

Cathy sent me this sunset from her house (plus grand dog)

It’s been pleasant and quiet here in Breckenridge, other than lots of helicopters for a few hours. I couldn’t tell if they were construction copters or firefighters. I can’t believe I’ve rested for three whole days. I don’t think I’ve ever rested like this for so long before.

It can get better now. I’d be okay with that. But at least I’m safe and cozy with knitting and reading! And there are sunsets.
