Well I finally got it! Started as a dry throat on Thursday and I attributed it to being at a gymnastics meet and being in a car that had mold. Then Friday night got a cough. Saturday cough and slight congestion. Was supposed to work at the hospital Sunday but went to get tested instead. Was shocked to be positive! Fortunately I just had the cough intermittently, congestion for 2 days and that’s it. No fever, not tired, no loss of taste or smell. So I spent a week cleaning my house, doing online courses I’ve been wanting to do, and cleaning out my closet! So can’t complain and I’m grateful for that. I am going to NYC to see my daughter perform for the first time in over 2 years so I was actually glad to get it over with. Now I do t have to worry about it interfering with my trip.

My dog has cancer and I haven't really told that many people, mostly because it feels weird to reach out and have it be the main reason you are reaching out. If I was seeing people regularly, I would be able to tell them as a normal part of our interaction, but now it is a whole thing to share information. I have also been eating a lot out of boredom and frustration. My job is boring, but I don't want to get another one because I am able to work at home. I am frustrated a lot just in general. I have noticed myself wishing I was hungry more often that way I would be able to eat and have something to do. I know I've gained weight, and although it is a little stressful, I am mostly just seeing it as my body and mind adapting to this situation of not being able to do much. I don't think I would be able to handle the uncomfortable feelings of being at home all the time without food, so thank you food! The weather is a lot nicer this week too,so I've been able to go outside and just enjoy the immenseness of the sky and nature. That has been uplifting to me. I am really glad I have a backyard so I'm able to do this.
