Looks like I will live to see yet another day. Has one more bought of the chills / being hot last night.

Today. Headache is gone, most of the body aches are gone, breathing much better. Feeling good enough I'm planning on getting some things done in the yard.

Finally having coffee! Haven't had any since Monday was felling that bad.

Covid?

Covid?

No. Just the current strain of the common cold.

When I did have covid, didn't feel nearly as bad as I did this week. Of course that was 4 years ago. Only had a fever for literally overnight. And the sniffles for a few days afterward.

Folks, I can't tell you how wonderful coffee tastes today.

Sugar and cream or bitter black?

Just a little cream. Not much.

By the time I was eligible for the Covid vaccine, I had already donated blood a few times and every time there was a high titer of antibodies in my blood; the blood donation center was giving complimentary Covid screening then when you donated. Anyway, my physician told me 'it would be insane to make you get a vaccine' in light of the blood report; so I never did. I don't think I had any symptoms except for maybe one afternoon in my yard I felt a little dizzy; it was in December 2020.

PS. ALL of my friends who went into some extensive isolation/quarantine have been changed beyond coming back: Quieter, less active, don't go out to bars, little socialization and what not. Me and Mrs M. followed all the required protocols but we had started to go out as early as April/May of 2020 to outdoor bars/restaurants and put on our masks, did the social distancing etc etc. We have barely changed in contrast to our friends.

I don’t always carry all the groceries on one arm.
But when I do, my keys are in the wrong pocket.

Tell me about it.

Don't know about you all but when I'm sick, I really don't feel like eating. Over the past 4 days, have hardly eaten anything. For two days, it's been mostly soups. Some form of garden vegetable or roasted chicken with vegetables and wild rice. And that's what dinner was for two nights: soup.

Of late, I've developed more than a taste for black pepper. Like the Tabasco sauce commercials, I put that **** on (just about) everything. Especially the soups.

Oh, and of course hydration remains important in spite of how bad I feel.

Odd. I don't remember ever seeing it. Tagging to follow up later.

Interesting choice of avatar you now sport.

People keep thinking I'm fat but this is the Real Fatman
