    Far out this post viral fatigue is fucked. Third day in a row I feel like my brain has been cotton wool all day long. The coffees barely touch me. I really didn’t feel too comfortable driving, I felt like I was zoning out way too often. Didn’t even help that I got extra sleep because I didn’t connect my phone charger properly overnight so it went flat and I slept right past my time to leave.

    I really need to (a) fall asleep early and (b) stay asleep tonight… I’m already in bed, fed and showered, I think tonight shall involve podcasts.

    E: I’ve got the warmest possible clothes on and the heater on while under the covers in bed and its still too cold to fall asleep ❄

      Have you done a rat test by chance to make sure it’s not covid?

      Whatever you ended up catching it seems to have really hit you hard.

      I hope you feel better soon.

        I did one last week before going to the drs and it came back negative for covid and flu a+b. No idea what it was. But fatigue can result from all kinds of viral infections. Dengue was the worst.

        The weather is definitely not helping with recovery. I do think i need some physical activity to get my blood flowing and improve my sleep, but not so much that I’m knackered beyond any use. Wanted to try walking to work tomorrow but 2C and foggy in the morning, I don’t think so…

          Ita going to be awful tomorrow morning. 1 degreee on my side projected at 6am.

          I think I’m going to have to set the heater on a timer if I want to get out of bed.

          Got to be outside for an hour tomorrow morning as usual. It’s going to be rough.
