COVID strikes again and I've reached another jab night

SW ⟫ 207.7 | CW ⟫ 175.4 |

Ozempic: ⟫ 1 mg

Oh goody, the good stuff just keeps on happening! I shouldn’t complain – the other night I had a bathroom visit that, although not unpleasant, meant that the next morning the scales moved almost 2 kg! I haven’t reached my previous low, but I am pleased to see that the number 175 seems to be consistently appearing.

But now we all seem to have been struck down by COVID. We haven’t tested – does anyone still have tests lying around? – but both Stripes and I have lost a lot of our sense of taste. Gidget is walking around like a wraith and has called off sick from work, which I believe has only happened once in the last year. I ache all over, have lost most of my sense of taste (my fish pie from last night just felt like lumps of substance in my mouth – less than appealing) and to add insult to injury, my Jaffa cakes taste of seriously sour lemons which is all the way wrong as they were strawberry flavoured! In that instance, I think I would have preferred not to taste anything at all!

I don’t think there’s a particular protocol with COVID any more – it seems to be being treated as a serious cold rather than something you should isolate yourself for. Either way, I am less than impressed that we’ve caught it for a second time. I can only imagine we caught it from clients that have visited the club where Gidget works, so not something that could be avoided. Does this count as our third mishap?

We watched Deadpool last night and it was everything we could have hoped it would be! The cameos were first notch – I’m not going to post any spoilers because I know that Stripes had so much of it ruined for her by spoilers online – but Channing Tatum owns my whole damned heart and it made me squee with delight. Add Jennifer Garner and you can only imagine how happy I was!

The enclosure for my old hard drive arrived and I managed to reinstate it (who the hell knew about bitlocker keys?!) with a few struggles along the way. I’m not copying everything over – instead I’m going to use it as a spare hard drive which means the amount of memory I have on my laptop is truly insane!

I’ve written my daily drabble, played with headers and images for the various blogs, and visited various AI image creator sites. Now it’s time to try to eat something and do some reading. I think I have two ARCs to read at present, and I am re-reading the Andrea Speed ‘Infected’ series.

The final joy? Tonight is jab night – I know how to have a good time!
