Dis shit sucks

Man, I'm all boosted and stuff and still have had just about every symptom on the long laundry list of options there are. Ugh! Also, the already iffy bladder is not liking the insane amount of sneezing I'm doing so I'm changing poise pads on the regular.
I ordered another 50 masks (will do more sensible rotating of them and not wearing them on consecutive days) and will find my hand sanitizers. I seriously don't get how after people have had this that they AREN'T masking? I'm going to do everything humanly possible not to ever get it again. Some folks will be all "hurr hurr, you going to wear masks outside for FOREVER?" Yep, pretty much. Get used to it. It does not strengthen your immune system to get Covid. It does exactly the opposite and my health is shitty enough already.
Thankfully though I still feel like hot garbage, I am feeling slightly less so today. If I possibly improve more, I'll WFH tomorrow. Right now the brain only functions in short spurts still.
Oh and curious - for those of you that have had this and lost your sense of taste and smell, how long did it take to come back? I've had colds where you can barely smell everything but this thing where it's like a switch turned things off is so bizarre. Though if I end up losing a few pounds from being disinterested in eating much, that will be one small positive. But I don't want the smell/taste to be gone for long.

Date: 9 Feb 2023 21:23 (UTC)Smell and taste are starting to come back now and then, though I'm hoping to continue to eat less. I have a small grocery delivery coming in the morning (hopefully they're smart enough to do no contact) and I'm not suspending plant based eating for a while in lieu of adding in some chicken breast and fish to try to have some well balanced meals while I wait for the appetite to return.
The kitties have been pretty good. Still spoiled rotten, though lol
