Welcome to Litsy!

Outside, it is my favorite kind of day - gloomy, foggy - and inside, I'm spending it in my new favorite place - cozy under a blanket, accompanied by candlelight, reading... and getting over COVID 😔

Didn't think Lady 'Rona and I would become acquainted... but here we are.

After all this time I thought I escaped Covid, but today it got me 😭 As a severe asthmatic, I've been really grateful I haven't had to use my neb in 3 years until today. I feel like I've been run over. 2023 sucks!

The BAD news: After feeling pretty cruddy last night and this morning, I took a test. And for the first time in 3 years (!!) I've tested positive for COVID 🤒

The GOOD news: I could smell my coffee this morning and my symptoms aren't TOO bad (mostly congested and exhausted with a gnarly headache behind my eyes and a small fever). I can take a couple of sick days if needed, depending on how I feel in the AM, and I have PLENTY of books on deck 📚

So it took nearly three years but I finally got struck down with Covid and I‘m mad about it and I feel like hot garbage. My head feels like molasses and fog.

Covid finally got me and my head is killing me, so no reading for me. 😕

So after a week of looking after my poorly Covid husband he has kindly given it to me just in time for him to go back to working away. So I get to do Covid whilst looking after three kids. Feeling unreasonably annoyed 😂

I post very little beyond books but man, the pandemic is wearing this introvert thin… I‘ve been burying myself in books and staying off social media as much as possible. But as I‘ve sunk further into the depths of despair (thank you, Anne Shirley), I needed to get back to the warmth of Litsy.

(sorry for the excessive ❤️ of posts of late - I‘m a completist & had to go back to when I stopped scrolling my feed last summer - but I‘m caught up now 🤪)

I‘ve done so good in the past two years of avoiding Covid but sadly I popped positive Monday. Today is day three and luckily I am feeling way better. The worst was the chills and fever. I finish Supernatural yesterday so binge watching ghost adventures today.

So the only kid in my house who doesn‘t have horrible non Covid virus symptoms over the past week got this last night 😭 What a start to the year!

#SpringSentiments Day 21: Things remain #precarious with this pandemic, even after one year has passed. What is the situation like, where you are, Litsy friends?

I lucked out yesterday and was able to get an appointment for a COVID vaccine today! Whoop! So, so grateful to have gotten the opportunity to receive the first dose right when NY opened up eligibility to everyone 30+ 💪🏽

I hope you‘ll be able to join me on Facebook, Tuesday March 2, 2021, at 7:30pm, when I‘ll find out which place (1st, 2nd, 3rd) my flash fiction story, Conquer Overcome Vanquish Identify Defeat placed. I‘m a finalist and will be reading the story LIVE!

Found this one on the new bookshelf at the library. Very informative and important reading. There‘s so much that could have been done differently and so much that can be done going forward. #nonfiction #librarybook #science

So this came up on my phone this morning.

It‘s negative. Now we just need to await paperwork so they will allow us to go back to work.
