the corner office

The blog isn't meant to catalog my health travails but since I'd mentioned the first 3 rounds, I may as well mention COVID round 4. Well over a year and a half since the last time.

It started with Ronwen being really sick one day. I got home from work and half-seriously said, "we still have some COVID tests in the drawer, you never know, maybe you should take one."

And she did, and there was the little red stripe. Oh dear. COVID still a thing. Let colleagues know I'd be working from home for a while, ordered more COVID tests, and buckled up for the ride. Soon the youngest had it, and a few days later myself and the eldest. But while Ronwen and the youngest were out for a couple of days, they were soon back up and running, while myself and the eldest languished, man-flu style, for well over a week.

It sucked. A week feeling like I'd been kicked in the head, and when the headaches passed, still too brain-fuddled to concentrate or do simple things like read, and all the more miserable and irritable because of it.

But... it passed, and thankfully I seem to have bounced back a bit more quickly than previous times. Hoping it's at least as long again, before Round 5.
