Life with Long Covid

wyld_dandelyonI had a great time at GAFilk, but not so great a time driving home, as the winter storm blew in long before we got home. That made the driving both longer and a lot more stressful. We pushed through, and arrived home safe, but exhausted. And the stupid Long Covid waves of exhaustion have intensified. Emotionally, I'm so very over this crap, but obviously physically is another story.
I did manage to pay bills this week, and make stew, but hardly anything more. Minimal music practice. Nothing done toward organizing the house this week, not even getting the pages of lyrics I'd alphabetized before the con into the three ring binders waiting for them. Bleah. And the ongoing winter weather has not helped anything.
Well, on further consideration, today I have managed to do some laundry, and I took the shop vac down into the laundry room to vacuum out the inside of the dryer from the back, which has increased the efficiency of said appliance. And I made stew, so there's leftovers for a couple of days. But I wanted to be doing a lot more practice, and some recording. Maybe tomorrow. Even having napped, I don't have a lot of focus.
It's not none, at least--I'm here, after all.

Date: 2024-01-14 06:48 pm (UTC)What I was asking is how to help reduce the symptoms of the Long Covid, or better yet, how to just make it go away altogether. I mean, since you can't change the past, and I already got the dumb long covid, I really want a more effective way to deal with it than try to eat and hydrate and exercise and just hope it gets better over time.
