I had a very rough last week because I got really sick. I'd started feeling tired on Wed., Nov. 18 but chalked it up to my long run the day before and it being the last week of the term. I had some night sweats that I attributed to hormones because I tend to get those, oh, once a month or so. But after all that was done and I was still tired and getting hot flashes/chills at night, I figured I should get a covid tests. So I did, and it was positive. Anyway, I spent most of last week in bed. I am a lot better now, and my primarily complaint at this point is just lingering fatigue. My friends, family, coworkers, and virtual friends have all been really incredibly kind and thoughtful. I'm so grateful that I'm young and was able to recover without needing to be in the hospital or something.

My goal this week is to continue taking care of myself and try to get the residual fatigue to go away. I am >10 days past initial symptoms so I'm allowed to be in the world again (read: pool), which is nice.
