Ups and downs
therealbrandonwilson • 27 Jan 2022 •
So I thought I was on the upswing, and then this morning I woke up and felt like crap again. I struggled through work and now need to rest. All other goals have gone out the window except for writing. Even my writing is just a shell representation of the exercise.
Being sick certainly makes me appreciate being well. You hear that all the time from people who are chronically sick.
If this is the mild version of the disease, I’d hate to see what the severe version feels like. No wonder a hospital intervention is often required.
One of the more disconcerting symptoms has been the lack of taste and smell. I considered that maybe this would be the best time to eat “healthy” foods that I don’t normally eat. Might as well since I can’t taste them anyway. It certainly makes eating less enjoyable. This could be an inadvertent strategy for my weight loss goal.
I’m glad tomorrow is Friday so I have the weekend for more recovery. If there is one thing I don’t have to force myself to do is to reduce all physical activity. That one comes naturally to me.

@therealbrandonwilson Sorry to hear that. Omicron seem to swing back and forth it seems. TGIF, that you can rest it through… hope you’ll feel better soon.
It does sound like the real thing if you have lost your sense of taste and smell. Hopefully it is the newer variant that is less severe, more like a cold.
Sorry to hear that Brandon. That is exactly what happened to me too. I almost thought that it was a cold the second time around.
The things that I hear will help are ample sleep, vit C, D, zinc and plenty of fluids.
Work can wait.
Feel better soon.
