Saturday .. a day for fun ...
I almost feel human. I talked to the Advice Nurse and they want me to take a covid test so I dug one out, it expired 2024, but said I was negative, LOL.
I did order a fresh one from Safeway which will be here later today. They also made an appointment for me for 9am on Monday which I will go to even if I am feeling a bit better, I actually have an appetite today which is new.
I did clean up the kitchen, refilled some water bottles, remade my bed a bit - I won't change the sheets until I am well.
Also orders some Japanese food - I am hoping the wasabi will clear my sinuses. Got the coffee brewing and I am working on email.

Back from the doctor around 10:15 so I thought I would go to The Bistro and get some soup and a salad. Sat there for 10 minutes and saw no staff. I called the front desk and they contacted the Bistro who told them no food is available between 9 and 11. WHAT??? I have dealt with this group for over a year and I didn't know this, why isn't it publicized?
Plus the grab and go has food and I watched as 4 people came to get stuff and there was no one there to ring up the sales. I almost told one lady to just grab what she wanted and go but I didn't want to set up a stealing situation.
Anyway, I went back to my apartment grabbed a yogurt and got back into bed for a nap. Just got up about 2.30. Whatever this is exhausts you fast.

WOW, I was clearing email and got a result of my tests. I forgot to mention the doctor had me do a RSV swab. I had taken 2 covid tests that were negative.
The test says NEGATIVE for Covid, Flu and RSV. I wrote back and said Great, so what is this?

There has been a resurgence of human metapneumovirus, which already existed but disappointed while there was masking for COVID.
LINK
It is less airborne than COVID, but more encountered
That is one possibility.

It's Planning Day AND time to spend 15 minutes de-cluttering the top shelf of you closet.
I am feeling much better today! When I woke up I actually had normal temperature, still coughing a lot but only in bursts and not the entire time.
So after I fed the kitties this morning I grabbed a yogurt went back to bed and shared that with Nala. Then I layed down for a nap and after a vivid strange dream woke up trying to find a phone so I could call my boss and tell her I was sick, hahahahahah.
Anyway, I am up for a bit. I cleaned up the kitchen, refilled water bottles, and re-heated my tempura in the Air Fryer for lunch.
Now trying to get caught up on email and socials, then the paper and computer games. Also ordering a dinner for pick up.
Off to email while I listen to Taran

It's Anti Procrastination Day AND time to clean out old makeup.
For me it is DAY 11 - SICKWATCH (I wanted to call it deathwatch but that seemed a bit dramatic). I guess I get one day of feeling better and then we fall backward into not so hot.
I cleaned the kitchen a bit, grabbed some ice water and worked a little on email, back to bed for me.

It's Errand Day AND time to clean off those nightstands. LOL I actually did this because I could put away a bunch of the stuff I don't need anymore while I get well.
DAY 12 -SICKWATCH -- better but not well, still getting intermittent fevers and can only function for about an hour or so once I get up.
I did get the dishwasher going and ordered some food, which I just picked up. After lunch back to bed with the paper and computer games and a few naps.

I also live in an over-55, but we have individual duplex homes of about 1200+ sq. ft., a couple hundred people total, with a clubhouse, and a lot of social committees.
A LOT of what you are experiencing is going on here too.
Get well soon. (((hugs)))

It's Home Blessing Day AND we have moved to the living room, look it over and remove a few things to make it cleaner/crisper.
Well I might be back, I actually have an appetite and my temperature was normal this morning. So far I got dressed in real clothes, LOL - no jammies today, and I have brewed the coffee while I cleaned up the kitchen.
Not sure how much I will do today, I don't want to push it too far but I need to get a couple of things done - I have a trash pile up, LOL.
Off to clear email and check socials.

Juju, when I got sick I immediately quarantined, I don't think I exposed anyone else. These people get Covid at the drop of a hat so I didn't want to expose them to a mystery illness.
Anyway, I didn't even have my friends bring me food until this week. I am not sure I will go down for dinner but I am going to go have some soup and a sandwich for lunch.

OK, change of plans. Not going out for lunch, I got a little dizzy when I took in my Safeway order. I did get a few pot pies and some sandwiches in my order.
So I have done some restocking of things and now I will go to deal with email.

Thanks Grooch! So I finally got thru my email, voted on all the things I was supposed to vote on, LOL. And cleared up all the other stuff. Balanced my checkbook, paid Kaiser and started to figure out my April bills.
I feel so behind on everything but at least I made a dent today. Just nuking some lunch then probably back to bed for a nap. Oh and I ordered a lunch pickup for 3pm.

It's Planning Day AND time to go sofa and chair diving! Dig in and clear out the trash and other stuff.
I think I spoke to soon about being well, either that or I did too much yesterday. My temp is back and I am very tired so today I am not doing to much.
Just cleaned up the kitchen a bit, last night I cleaned it up and got the dishwasher going. So fed the kitty's, cleared the kitty boxes and grabbed the paper and yogurt and went back to bed.
I ended up taking a good nap, so now I will have some coffee and stay in bed until it's time to pick up my dinner.
Hopefully I can get my "wellness" back on track.

It's Anti-Procrastination Day - LOL, I just called to have maintenance come and take away this giant cardboard box that has been the bain of my existence for at least a month AND Time to toss all the old decorations from the front porch. Again funny since I decided I would at least put my Easter Rabbit up even if I don't change out the garlands. So I took down the Welcome Winter sign and I need to go get the rabbit. -- got it and hung it in the hallway.
Trying to get a few things done before I go and take a nap. I don't want to do too much so that I feel bad tomorrow.
Took out 5 bags of kitty litter, 2 boxes and the newspapers. That at least makes my house seem a bit cleaner and it has been on my mind.
The only other things I have planned are doing the newsletter and gathering my tax info - I did my taxes but the California will allow some deductions I didn't take on my Federal so I need to get those together to see if they help.
For now, coffee, lunch and email/socials.

It's Errand Day AND time to clear out the clutter from your entrance way. Set a 15 minute timer and get rid of extra shoes, mail, etc.
I was up late last night and at 1:40am my office phone let off a god awful screech, then the earthquake rumpled my bed a bit. So my office phone, which is 5G, got a Shake Alert but my regular cell did not.
I ended up sleeping in this morning which was quite surprising but I feel like I got a really good nights sleep! Now I am up and trying to do some chores before naptime, if I need it.
I cleaned up the kitchen, brewed the coffee and fed the kitties, watered some plants and now I am working on email.
Guess I should get the Newsletter done and off to printing, then work on my taxes, maybe take out another load of trash.
Oh, I did order a dinner pick up minus the Turkey, LOL.I got veg, mashed potato, and cherry crumble, oh and soup.
Off to email and my lunch.

It's Clean your Purse and Car Day AND time to clean up the smudges and fingerprints on the walls and windows of your dining room.
My goal today is to stay up and moving at least until 5pm, LOL. I have cleaned up the kitchen, cleaned out the fridge, gathered trash and I dustbusted and spot mopped the bathroom.
I have several "office" jobs to do and then I have one last big trash haul and my house will be back to normal. My list is set up my bill pays, vac the office, finish the newsletter and send to print, work on my tax stuff and plant my geraniums.
Off to do email and socials.
