Covid diary: day 4

[the_siobhan]

I am contemplating how different feels to have to deal with everything on your own when one is actually alone, as opposed to when there is another body in the house.

The last two days have been much like the first two but with a slow ebb of napping and a slow increase of appetite. Kudos to all the people who said "electrolytes" in my last post because I think you were on to something. I spotted a box of instant soup mix that had been sitting around forever because normally when I look at it I think, "Ew. Salty." but today my reaction was "oooooo, saltyyyyyy".

It was awful and I ate the whole two-person serving in one sitting.

The hospital sent housemate home today. I'm envisioning the two of us passing it back and forth for the next couple of weeks but I don't know if that's even a thing. Meanwhile, we're back to masking whenever we are in the same room just in case.

One of these days I will have the energy to catch up on posts and comments - but today is not that day. Because I think I'm gradually getting less tired but that wall does hit, it fucking hits.

Night y'all.

Hang in there Sio. Listen to your body. Gross salty things when we are out of balance is something we sad old goths know about because it has led us into late night hot dog carts and potato chip binges. You can do worse than a multivitamin and salty noodles every so often.

I am glad you are (slowly) on the mend.

Thank you for the updates!

I'm just glad to hear that everyone seems to be generally on the mend. Don't worry about catching up with stuff until you feel up to it.
