Covid weirdness:

Day 6, yesterday: I had tinnitus in my left ear for the second half of the day. Otherwise, good. Worked all day, broken up by a 90 minute nap.

Day 7, this morning, I woke to burst blood vessels in my right eye. Wasn't like that last night, so happened while asleep. Odd. I feel ok.

Day 5 of Covid, yesterday, I turned the bend. Worked for 6 hours & broke up the work day with a 90 minute nap. I felt 75% normal. Mind blurriness eased enough that I read George Saunders before bed.

Today, day 6, I woke early. Finally back to writing. Then a work day to catch up. Naps as needed.

Holy crap. Vince Gilligan returns to his X-Files roots with Pluribus on Apple TV. Amazing first episode. Absolutely loved it. Go watch.

Day five, and the Covid test looks the same. Pretty mild variant, though. Day 1 was worst with fever and bad headache/body aches. Milder each day. Now, sleeping decently well overnight. Mostly just tired & bored. I'll do a little work today but won't push it. If I get tired, I'll sleep.

Thursday's Covid binge shows (yesterday):

Death by Lightning. Historical drama. Great cast. Slow burn. Too much contemporary sounding dialogue (motherfucker, etc)—a poor fit. But I enjoyed it.

Greenland. B movie apocalypse flick. Mindless, but okay.

Derry Girls. Finished season 1. A true gem.

During illness, I tend to binge shows, because my mind gets too blurry for reading. I managed to read a bit yesterday, though, which was nice.

Binged during Covid thus far:

American Primeval. Loved it.
Department Q. Liked it, didn't love it.
The Asset. Nordic Noir. So-so.

1/2?

Covid update: I finally got a good night's sleep. The night before, I woke every half hour with sneezing fits, having to blow my nose. So, last night, with just my normal waking every 2-3 hours, was awesome. My energy level is better. No aches. Mind's a bit blurry. Still congested. Improvement.

Odd Covid symptom yesterday: lower back pain, as if I messed up my back lifting something heavy and bending over. Most of the day yesterday. And when I'd lay down, my lower back would throb painfully. Weird one. Today, that's gone.

What positive show should binge during day 3 of Covid? Netflix and HBO Max only, please. Nothing dark.

Congrats NY, NJ, Virginia.

The oligarchy came out in full force against Zohran Mamdani's fight for a more affordable NYC.

It didn't matter.

Let his victory in the face of Big Money serve as a reminder that people have the power.

So starts second day of Covid. Feeling better than yesterday, but still isolating in my bedroom. I won't get any work done today on either writing or comics work. Ah well. Forced bedroom-cation. Hoping it eases enough that I can isolate in the studio tomorrow and work. Seems to be a weak strain.

Five years later, might be the sequel. I never got super bad the first time around. Seems the same. Somewhat intense headache all day, fluctuating fever. Isolated in our bedroom. Binged American Primeval and now Department Q. No deadline this week, so I'll have to dig out of this later.

Going to bottle hard cider with other filthy foreigners today. Inebriation will happen as sampling increases. But worry not, alconauts, I will survive.

Watching The Diplomat on Netflix, thinking this reminds me a bit of West Wing. And then Allison Janney and Bradley Whitford both show up. Didn't realize Rufus Sewell was a Brit until he mispronounced Akron, as in Akron, Ohio. Good American accent. Post no spoilers, please.
