I’m fighting the Covid infection to a draw so far. I had 3 to 4 days where I really felt horrible with cold/flu symptoms. I have been ingesting a constant supply of cold medicine to try to clear my head and to sleep. Sunday was the first time I had any energy to spare, and I spent it closed up in the home office trying to organize and recycle/throw away things. I have too much stuff I don’t need, and what I’m keeping is desperately unorganized. Stirring up dust is not good for my congestion though.
I thought I would be good to work from home today (Monday), and I did okay for about 4-5 hours, but then I ran out of energy and my brain started to get foggy. I am supposed to be in the office Tuesday through Thursday, so I took a test to rule that out for tomorrow. I must have lots of “viral load” or whatever still, because the two lines were immediately visible. I don’t think I will bother with another test until Wednesday afternoon to see if I can go to the office on Thursday. If I can’t, I probably will not see the office until January because I have vacation between Christmas and new year’s.
So for now, I’m still isolating in the home office to try to keep my daughter from catching the virus. I’m going through file boxes, important (and unimportant) papers, and collections of crap I can’t seem to get rid of. For example I have a lot of old and useless maps; some are old, some are useless, and some are both. Some of the old ones are pretty cool to a map geek though, so I’ll save those (like the detail of the Sacramento area which I think is from around 1960 based on the missing freeways).
I also have an abundance of CDs, DVDs, VHS tapes, books, electronics junk, and a few sets of baseball cards (which I thought would be worth a lot someday, but alas, no). I’m organizing files in my computer and making backups. I’m sorting my mp3 collection. I’m watching the Dirty Harry movies. I’m reading books. Yes, so many things to do which would never get done if I wasn’t infectious. See? There’s a silver lining here.
Okay, back to work. If I don’t post before Christmas, stay medicated my friends.
