rushthatspeaksWhat goes on with me?
Well, right now I have covid, after dodging it for more than three years. It's been slightly more than a week, and I am not having any fun. I did go through a course of Paxlovid, which was incredibly helpful, but I am getting rebound now that it's finished. Luckily, my senses of smell and taste, about which I was incredibly worried, are both completely fine. This was a mixed blessing in the case of the Paxlovid, which tasted just as bad as everybody claims.
As far as I can tell, I picked it up while doing necessary errands-- while masked. Sigh. And I was very lucky, given the timing, that I didn't pass it on to some visiting out-of-town friends, but I appear not to have given it to anyone, evennineweaving, who is basically my roommate, so that's extremely lucky too.
Honestly, this is all going absolutely as well as it can, considering how terrible I feel. I feel better than the time I had meningitis or the time I got hit by a car. I feel worse than the time I had norovirus or the two times I've had a single migraine last for more than a year. So, firmly on 'lifetime medical event' list but not, actually, the worst medical thing that's ever happened to me.
If anyone has any recs for easy browser games that don't require much brain or reflexes, that would be awesome. I am at a point where if I conserve my energy for a long while, I can sometimes manage to watch an episode of (a fluffy) anime. Reading is right out. I am spending a lot of time doing phone (touchscreen) color-by-number, but that gets rather boring; it's just the level I happen to be able to work on right now. Alternatives would be nice.
