I am an old man and have known a great many troubles, but most of them never happened.

I canceled a lung function test I had at the hospital today. I had too many symptoms. I do not suspect Covid but I am not taking a chance at a hospital unmasked.

I counted 10 out of 11 that I found online this morning.

  • fever or chills
  • cough
  • shortness of breath or difficulty breathing
  • fatigue
  • muscle or body ache
  • headache
  • new loss of taste or smell
  • sore throat
  • congestion or runny nose
  • diarrhea
  • nausea or vomiting

I am a little thankful, not that I am ill but for not having to travel  today. I bet Gracie is thankful too.

Cats are fed and watered, coffee is poured. Gimli is still standing on my chest swinging a sledgehammer.

I will try to get some work done today. I need to, even if my body disagrees, it will be cold the next few nights.

Headaches are bad today, breathing is tough but poop is brown, thats a step up.
