Rainy morning in west GA/east AL. Contracted Covid at some point (probably Sunday) and it really took me for a ride yesterday. But what a difference 24 hours makes because the first thing I did after feeding the critters was to make coffee.
Because a good day starts with good coffee.
Make it a good one in spite of what humankind and opportunistic viruses are up to.

How was it?

This was really awful the first 18 hours:
Given the normal virus life cycle, I probably picked it up either at church or at Sunday lunch (we dined out). Tuesday afternoon I had a runny nose and slight congestion. Overnight Tuesday into Wednesday was a nightmare: body aches, fever, cough, chest ache, near fainting episode when I got up for the bathroom, shortness of breath,---the usual suspects. Visited the local Doc in a Box (urgent care) on Wednesday and temp was still about 2 degrees above normal. What got me going was some Propel to replace the electrolytes I had sweated out. We only keep the non-sugar variety, so I highly recommend keeping emergency Gatorade on hand.
I got the Paxlovid prescription which is supposed to shorten the duration of the disease. Apparently the clinic has seen a lot of these cases in our area since school has been in session since late August, but I don't know about the specific vintage of this strain since Covid is remarkably adaptive.
I wear a mask at home to prevent virus passage to my wife. The mask, of course, is not to protect you: it is to prevent transmission of the virus to uninfected people. Ditto with hand sanitizer. I am so glad I married a woman who worked in medical research labs and taught in a medical school for much of her career.

The strain I read about had a lot of GI issues, which seemed odd to me considering it has been mostly a respiratory ailment in the past.

The almost fainting doesn't sound good.

Chunky peanut butter is stupid. If I wanted to crunch on peanuts I would just buy a bag of peanuts.

Slept like a dead pharaoh. Even had a cat beside me.

Off until Tuesday. Might go to Galveston tomorrow or might go to Austin and then Dallas or might stay home! Need more info first.

Tacos consumed.

People are bad at driving. And by people, I mean a larger percentage of drivers are just bad.

Have Friends streaming in the background. The later seasons are not written well. They made Joey dumber and dumber each season and Monica more manic and Phoebe more quirky and Ross more whiny. But Rachel, well, she's aight.

  • Exhausted, but by choice. Hopefully nap some soon to keep a migraine at bay.
  • Did not go to Singo last night.
  • Work from home day (thank goodness).
  • Really want a margarita tonight, but most likely not.
  • Travel work tonight.
  • Maybe read my book tonight.
Stay cool out there.

Sometimes the music business really sucks. My licensing of music from The Goonies fell through because the administrator I got licensing from did not actually have the rights to administer. The actual copyright administrator stepped in, told me to stop, and now we have to work it out, but there is only a slim chance working it out doesn't include me having to pay hundreds of dollars in advance royalties, which I'd rather not pay because I will lose money on the project. I'm hoping this creates an opening for me to have a productive dialog with the copyright administrator about how I can positively contribute to their catalog in a more cost-effective way.

It's true ... sometimes begging forgiveness is way better than asking permission.

Liberty Mutual had me up to $409 a month for a 2017 hybrid car and a 2010 pickup. I just set up a USAA policy today and going to cancel the Liberty tomorrow. The USAA is $243.

I suggest you call Flo at Progressive. She's hooked me up with some good deals.

At the Drs for the yearly physical. I'm going to ask him if I am in as good of physical shape as the president. There is a picture of him and his wife on the wall. She kinda has crazy eyes, but she is the type you could see marrying a doctor.
