I tested positive yesterday again for the Covid virus. I had this sh*t once before, and I thought it was one and done. Not so. So far it’s been only little worse than a bad head cold, and they’re treating me with ordinary OTC medications: ibuprofen, Flonase and some honey-based throat remedy I don’t know how to spell.
I thought (since I don’t have much else I can do) I’d keep the blog going, but while thinking about what I could be doing, and actually doing it is another. So I’ve decided that the best thing to do is wait it out and start again fresh when it’s run its course.
And start a New Year all over again! As to what’s happened so far this year, I’d just as soon forget it.

We should get a re-do at one time or another during any given calendar year. Get well.

Oh, no! Major bummer. Take it very easy, and let’s hope it passed quickly and without too much pain and suffering.

I think it was Shakespeare who said it so memorably:
“Get well soon!”

All the best — slow & easy — Will see you again soon!

good well soon, hopefully a mild case this time

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Best wishes for a fast recovery, Steve. Just think of it as bonus reading or audiobook time 🙂

Thanks for all the good wishes. I’m taking them all to heart. As of today I’m allowed to leave the house, with a mask of course, and that will be the protocol for another 5 or 6 days. Right now my only symptom is a case of itchy eyes, but if I do anything too strenuous, I will know it was a short while later, and that I shouldn’t have done it.
So I guess I won’t.

There’s nothing to say, take it easy, but not so much that you cave.

A motto worth following in all things!

Steve, a friend of mine who got Covid-19 4 times says a daily drink of Jack Daniels banishes the virus fast!

How about a daily double?

All joking aside, the good news is that I will be back working on this blog soon. All I have to do first is start cleaning up all the detritus that both Jon and I have accumulated over the past week. Several boxcars full, I think, taking a quick look around just now.
And, for the record, there was another database outage that occurred here yesterday afternoon, but it was so relatively short-lived, I hope no one noticed. And maybe, just maybe, we’re finally getting to the end to such nonsense.

And uh, oh, gotta fix that. No post should have exactly 13 comments.

Glad you’re recovering!

Glad it is on the mild side. Take your time and feel better. I wasn’t that sick last time, but it has taken forever to get energy back.

David, my observation, exactly.

Steve,
Get Well Soon!
