Day Eight – I Started This in March!!

08 April 2022 Day Eight – I Started This in March!!

I can’t believe that this is going on for so long. I am still testing very positive. I’m so privileged in my frustration, I know. There’s nothing I can do about this. I’m a terrible patient. #selfaware

I feel a bit more human but still pretty gross. Small bit congested. The cough is back. The tummy is still madly nauseated – PMS too I guess. Aches and pains coming in for the first time in a while. Could be PMS. Also, I was awake from 3:55AM to 5:10AM -ish last night. Whopper stuff. Lovely hurling.

Everything tastes the same. Worst thing? Every coffee I make tastes the same, but none of it tastes good. I can barely differentiate much between foods at the moment.

I spent the day on the phone, which didn’t help my cough but at least I caught up on family life. The small things, as they say…

No paracetamol today and only a mild headache. Progress.

Frustrations running high (can you tell?), but getting bits done. I finally attended that doctor’s appointment, booked my NCT, and am keeping on top of my laundry. Not sure how I have laundry to do since I’ve been slinking around in mostly the same clothes.

This has just become a moaning forum, so I might skip the next day or so if nothing changes. 

Catch you on the next one sweet cheeks.

The Unemployment Chronicles and My Vaulting Ambition

 The Unemployment Chronicles and My Vaulting Ambition You read it right. Unemployment. The blog went quiet soon after its launch because I got a shock after recovering from Covid. For the first time in my life, I was laid off. I almost made it to the ripe age of 25 without ever being laid off, but here we are. Thankfully, it had nothing to do with my performance and only the fact that within the service industry, your labour becomes quite disposable. I, unfortunately, was the last in, and first out, as cuts were being made. It is tough, and it’s startling to be thrown into uncertainty, but I decided to treat it as a kick up the arse. A kick up the arse to really start believing in myself, believing in my abilities, my skills, and my experience. I am finally pursuing something pertaining to my college degrees *Mom & Dad sigh in relief* , but also pertaining to what I really want . That’s hard to decide, and I by no means believe it to be set in stone, or at all certain, ...

Day Three - I'm Losing Track

Sunday 03 April 2022 Day Three – I’m Losing Track I started writing this (on April 5 th because I’ve been too wiped) and was writing about the completely wrong day. Since I’ve been struggling to keep this up daily, I decided that my research lies within my Whatsapp messages. This way I can see what I was complaining about on what day. Let’s *vinyl scratch* back to Sunday. It’s Sunday morning, and I’m feeling relatively energised considering I woke up before 5am and couldn’t get back to sleep, only to sleep far too late into the morning. 10:30 probably isn’t a big deal when you’re sick, but I’ve been rising at 7:30/8:30 most mornings. A lie in from my usual 6AM. I’m sure my sleep schedule will be out of whack in no time. I make my usual peanut butter and banana on toast with a mix of seeds and some maple syrup. My isolation morning challenge is stepping up my latte art skills on my home espresso machine on my extremely mediocre flat whites. It’s improving. I feel sick, but noth...

Day One – Faintly Positive

Friday 01 April 2022 Day One – Faintly Positive The coughing became more frequent, but my spirits stayed relatively high. Panadol kept my headache at bay, and I woke at 7:30 to laze about before doing a whole load of chores for the morning. I felt like a cheat. How could I be off work with such mild symptoms and a barely-there positive on my antigen test? I took another nasal swab test. Faintly positive. Fainter than you could ever imagine. In fact, I thought I  was  imagining it. Still, that’s a progression from yesterday, considering my nasal swabs were coming back negative but my spit said otherwise . I know people who have had faint antigen test results one day and clear-as-day positives the next. No spit involved. So maybe I was just one step ahead and detecting it early. Or, I was at the tail-end of an infection. If so, why the symptoms now? As expected, my isolation was reminiscent of the early Covid days of “flattening the curve” for a couple of weeks. I did some readi...
