The Covid Chronicles

Has Covid visited your house yet?

Because she literally kicked our door down and held us hostage for two weeks.

Think of every single symptom of any common illness you’ve ever had and then putting each symptom on a calendar so you had a new thing to deal with everyday for two weeks.

That’s how having the ‘vid was.

One day was chills, next was high fever, next was body aches, etc…

It’s been a few weeks and I can barely smell and taste again.

I read online that sniffing essential oils helps and I feel like that has definitely done the trick for us.

Next we’ll be doing the burnt orange trick.

But yeah, why is it that when things start going good, something else comes up?

God or the universe, believe what you want but there is something there that makes sure we don’t get too comfortable with life going good.

It’s like, “oh things are going good and life is nice right now? Well, have you met my friend Rona? She’ll be staying with you for a few weeks so go ahead and use all of your sick time you’ve accumulated and go ahead and cancel any fun Fall plans you’ve made with your kids.”

But you know what, such is life.

Good times are meant to be enjoyed because there’s always an obstacle coming up.

How many times does your life flip upside down?

How do you get yourself out of the funk?

Because the weirdest and longest lingering symptom is the constant feeling of being drunk.

Have you ever been drinking and all of a sudden realized that you are wasted and you needed to sit down and drink water before you suddenly met Jesus?

That is how I feel every day, all day now.

I don’t understand where it came from or how to get rid of it.

My brain is so foggy and it’s hard to plan the day because I can’t seem to even be able to focus on the task at hand.

Have you ever had this feeling?

Of constant fuzziness in your brain and the feeling that you’re just floating through the day?

Or like your body is running on autopilot and you’re just going through the motions of each day?

How do you get out of that?

Is it a mental thing or should I be seeing a doctor?

Because this sucks.

I want to be clear minded and focused.

I have so many goals and plans that I need to be able to focus on.

Harvard actually came out with a study about Covid brain fog.

And their recommendations to clear Covid brain fog, besides seeing your doctor, is: doing aerobic exercises, eating a Mediterranean-style diet, avoid alcohol and drugs, sleeping well, participating in social activities and other cognitive activities like reading, listening to music and meditating.

So, pretty much changing the entire way of living my life.

I knew fueling my body with gas station food and iced coffee would catch up to me eventually.

Did God give me Covid to change my life?

Did God know my body couldn’t continue on on just Slim Jims and Redbull?

Because, he could have just came to me in a vision or something. I would have listened.

Because jeez.

If I start exorcising and eating salad and nothing changes I swear I am going to lose it.

Anyways, if the Rona knocks on your door, just know she’s gonna come in regardless if you answer or not. She’s not very polite.

Just, ya know, eat your salad and jump rope I guess.

Be well.
