Some Updates

Woke up to "minor signs" on my Oura ring -- that's a step better from "major signs."

I'm postponing Asheville until tomorrow. I wasn't up for the whole shebang today. Today is the last day before rain comes in for the weekend -- I'm going to spend time moving outside today. 

Turns out the painters weren't coming to paint yesterday -- only assess. That makes way more sense. They're coming on Friday and Saturday. Hopefully, I miss the entire thing hah.

My virtual gyn appointment with a PA was interesting. She thinks the lab result is an error given how I feel and my other lab levels. She also said it's almost impossible to get such a high lab from my dosing. She wants me to go back to the regular dosing and redraw next week. Now comes the lab charge battle today. Lovely. 

The new craft room rug came yesterday. It's so pretty -- from Anthropology. Had to let that other rug go after Duke decimated it with watery diarrhea twice. It was already stained and I couldn't tell what was what -- it needed another professional cleaning. That would help the ick from the poo, but the rug was still a stained mess. I decided to stop sinking money into it and start fresh. 

Believe it or not, I messed up the grow room lights AGAIN. Finally figured out the issue -- the "off" timer was set to "once" not to every day. Good lord. My poor little itty bitty plants. I'm not sure what will take now. Fingers crossed nature can overcome human error. 

I've done exactly ZERO reading since I've been sick. I haven't even selected a book. I'll need to choose before I leave for Asheville. Nothing is interesting me from my 50+ TBR books so I know it's me, not them. 

Some good news is I have a plethora of podcasts for the drive tomorrow. Haven't driven anywhere, haven't cooked ... this week's podcasts are waiting for me.

That'a all from here. I'm trying to rally and feel better by doing something. I think more sitting around will be counter productive now that I'm on the mend. Seems like this was a quick go.

A little confession -- I worried that it was COVID and I'm not actually sure it wasn't. I lost my smell on Tuesday. It came back by evening. I don't have any tests left here (I have some in Asheville and I'll test tomorrow). BUT ... I had no other symptoms other than a head cold. No sore throat, slight temperature the first day. Basically fatigue and congestion. It's probably a cold, but the cold moved faster than I expected. It's unusual to feel that much fatigue from the beginning of a cold and then have symptoms improve so quickly. If it was COVID, I should test positive still. I think the tests are still usable -- I'll know from the control line.

(Eeek -- just googled symptoms of current strain and it's primarily cold symptoms that resolve in a few days. Dang.)

Okay, now this is REALLY all from here. Have a good day. Later gators.
