I think I’m in better shape now than I was 10 years ago, but it takes a bigger toll – I get back pain!

The snowstorm blew wild last night and there was a heavy downpour of freezing rain on top. It will be messy out there. It is still dark here but there is a ton of snow inside the garage blown through an 1/8 of an inch crack between the doors.

I am having an extreme vertigo attack. I had to sit on the stairs to get down them. The only way through my house was one handhold after another. I remembered I had a motion sickness chewable in my pocket. I took one to see what would happen.

I am concerned because I was in the city two days ago, Last night I had a bad dry cough. This morning almost diarrhea but I did eat a whole package of goldenberries and a package of blackberries. Those items get mouldy fast in this house.  I just read that that is not a symptom of Covid, I am sure it used to be. Do I think I got COVID-19 from someone out there? No, but anything is possible. I always wear my mask but because of the beard, I need to readjust it often. If it gets worse I will quarantine and cancel my appointment

I hope it is nothing. I need to try to get my headlights working. I got a reminder call at 7:30 AM about my appointment on Monday in GP.


I went out and moved 5 loads of wood all the big logs I cut yesterday. Only today they seem twice as heavy, Yes there is a little ice on them from the storm but not that much.

I also managed to split enough to get me through another night.  Now I am paying for my sudden burst of activity, with extreme back pain. I can also feel the dizziness coming back.

So at least while I am hurting and dizzy I will be warm.
