I’ve been quiet here because I’ve been seriously sick. I’ve gone through a pile of COVID tests since feeling abruptly VERY WRONG Monday evening, and the results are consistently negative, but had the same debilitating headache, and slept fourteen hours the first day without feeling RESTED. It took more than 48 hours in bed to even be minimally functional around the house. It is exhausting, whatever it is.
Bird flu has been detected in my city, and I’ve been sending jokes to my friends that I stopped hugging seagulls WEEKS ago. (The gulls seem more emotionally distant now…) I don’t know what this illness is, why it makes my ears crackle so often, why my lymph nodes in my neck hurt, why I’ve been so dizzy… I’m only at 75-80% of normal, and am in a hurry to fully recover by the time I return to work Monday. (Though that’s sad – wouldn’t it be better to recover TODAY and enjoy my weekend with more energy?)
I’ve only recently (Friday?) been able to focus enough to read recreationally, so it may be a while before I write up any more book reviews. I have some new manhwa going, but spent my low-energy evenings watching Slow Horses, so I’ll write up a recommendation for that soon.
