Sick

Behold, I will bring it health and healing; I will heal them and reveal to them the abundance of peace and truth.

— Jeremiah 33:6

After four years and every Covid vaccine available, it finally caught up to me. I’ve had a cold that started Friday evening. This morning, I was feeling worse, so, I took a home Covid test. It was pretty definitely positive. I scheduled a visit through my insurance company to see a virtual doctor this morning. If she is able to prescribe Paxlovid, I’m not sure that I’ll be able to get to the pharmacy. We are in the middle of a major snowstorm and expected to get 9” of snow throughout the day. The snow isn’t expected to stop until 5 pm which is when the pharmacy closes. I’ll just have to wait and see how the day goes.

Baby, It’s Cold Outside

If this guy was in Vermont today, he’d (sadly) be wearing pants. As I write this, it’s 9°F (-12.78°C). The wind is making it feel like 0°F (-17.78°C). This weekend Vermont (and most of the northeast) is expected our heaviest snowfall yet. Where I am, the current prediction is 6.25”, but that number keeps changing. Luckily, it is expected to mostly fall during Sunday morning and be a dry powdery snow. Our last major snowfall was a wet heavy snow, which is a lot more work to clear off my car. The good thing about the snow being expected on Sunday is that I don’t have to go anywhere and when I do have to return to work on Monday, the roads should be clear. When the snow stops Sunday, I’ll go outside and clear off my car so I don’t have to do it Monday morning. Anyway, I’m just looking forward to (mostly) staying in and staying warm.

Taking It Easy

As my vacation continues, I plan to do nothing today. I don’t plan to go anywhere or do anything. I’ll probably turn on the tv as background noise, but there really isn’t anything I’m dying to watch. I may get a burst of energy at some point, but it doesn’t feel likely at this point. I had a hard time waking up this morning, even though I went to bed early last night. Isabella even gave up trying to wake me up. I finally did get up, fed her, and made my breakfast. I just want to take it easy today.

We’ll See…🤞

Amazingly, Isabella seems to have turned a new leaf since the new year and has not been so persistent in waking me up early. Partly, I think it’s because I came in so late after being out for New Year’s Eve that it threw off her schedule. Yesterday, she also let me sleep in and let me wake up on my own a little after 5 am. This morning, she not only did not wake me (a bad dream did that), but she let me sit in the side of the bed for a bit before she began nudging me to get up and feed her. I hope I haven’t jinxed myself, and this will continue. We’ll see how it goes.

This morning, I’m headed over to New Hampshire for my next Botox treatment for my migraines. I still miss my old neurologist and am a bit apprehensive about seeing a new person, but that won’t be until March. Today, I’ll be seeing a new person who’ll administer my Botox injections. The one who did it before was a lot slower than my previous neurologist had been, and thus, it was more painful. We’ll see how it goes today. 

Lastly, I’ve decided to take this whole week as vacation time (though today will count as a sick day). Everyone else took time off before the holiday, but I had to stay at the museum because someone had to do it. Therefore, I decided to extend my holiday a few more days. I don’t have any particular plans, though I was hoping to see a friend that I’ve been trying to make the time to see, but so far, our schedules just haven’t matched up. We’ll see how if that will happen.
