Today, I will mostly be a reading vegetable

Still hovering around in the 175s so I guess I can’t complain too much. COVID or whatever the heck this thing is that has taken control of my body is proving to be – difficult. My nose is like a tap OR it's utterly blocked with no in between, my throat feels like someone scraped it with acid, and my entire body aches. Stripes isn’t doing much better but Gidget seems to have missed the worst of it.

It’s difficult to know what to eat – my sense of taste and smell – are both wacky at present, so things that I normally enjoy eating just taste like bland lumps in my mouth. I’m still eating just one main meal per day, followed by snacks, but I can’t say that I particularly feel like anything tastes nice. The issue is, I don’t think this is going to do my weight loss any good, because eating too little is pretty much as bad as over-eating.

Another night of no sleep – I finally crashed out at 7 am which is ridiculous. This time it was because I couldn’t breathe wearing the CPAP mask because of my blocked nose, the hacking cough kept making me feel like I was going to throw up, and I couldn’t get comfortable. I finally ended up surrounded by pillows, half sitting up with the CPAP mask on, feeling like Darth Vader on a bad day! And of course, it’s my writing day – my brain is utterly mush! I managed to create some banners and schedule some posts for a weekend challenge on 1 million words but I think I’m gonna have to log off and lie down – the desire to act like a reading vegetable is strong and I cannot resist! Maybe I’ll have something positive to say later in the week?
