As I was lying in bed last night, unable to fall asleep, it occurred to me that I had not posted yesterday. Given that this occasionally concerns people, I am still alive. I am also still testing positive for covid. I have no idea if it means anything--it likely doesn't--but the covid-positive line that took almost 15 minutes to appear, and then faintly, on my first positive test last weekend popped out in less than three this morning. As I work my way through this, I have to keep reminding myself that while this virus initially appeared to be a primarily respiratory one, it affects other systems as well. In retrospect, yesterday was a brain fog day. I realized when I went to bed last night that I had totally skipped the multiple pills, prescription and non-, that I take every morning, nor had I popped open the new inhaler I was supposed to start. I did manage to finish a book, but even that was in fits and starts. As for sleeping last night, the dog and cat slept well, at least until the cat woke up at 4:15. The Professor apparently slept well in the basement guest room as well. I hope to make up for some of the lost sleep in a nap later.
I finished the Paxlovid yesterday so at least I can avoid the awful taste it left in my mouth. I'm assuming the drug helped though the after-taste certainly didn't. At least I don't need to stress about the infamous Paxlovid rebound as long as I'm still positive from the original viral course. Sometimes, it's the little things that matter.

If you're not sleeping properly that explains everything else - the loss of working memory, lack of concentration. Whatever the cause it's time for a good old fashioned tick list. Ass students one of the household was known for her lists, I saw one that started "get up". I suppose it's one way to start the day with a win.
