Sep 30 - Oct 6

So last week I reached an unlikely unavoidable milestone. I finally, after 4 and half years, tested positive for COVID.

Back in the beginning of the pandemic, I never got sick and never ran a temperature (this time I didn’t have a fever either), but I got all the strange symptoms that I had never even heard of before. Like COVID toes, that is where your toes turn purple and blow up until all the skin falls off. I got that twice. Rashes on cool days, and what felt like a urinary tract infection that lasted 14 months. Then there were the phantom smells. I never lost my sense of taste or smell, instead I got new tastes and smells. Most of the time all I could smell was apple pie.

This time, I felt like I had a mild cold or allergies, but on the fourth day of the symptoms I felt extremely tired and finally thought maybe it was something else. COVID, is so weird. Now that I am over it, I can’t sleep at night. Why, if you are tired, would you not be able to sleep? Personally, I don’t blame the Chinese, I think up in Heaven they just get bored sometimes and want to see how we will handle unusual circumstances. Don’t they realize that we are just not that bright?

By the way, I have in the past donated to both sides of the political aisle. Now I am getting close to 200 political emails a day as well as 30 to 40 texts a day.  In the future I would recommend you donate anonymously.
