Thank you. First day on the job was OK. I found that I was always a bit winded and tired, but had plenty of strength. The client liked what I had done before I got sick and wanted to add to it, so I took care of that and got my sheetrock up and taped the first coat of mud. I only worked for 5 hours, and today will also be a short day. I'm trying not to overdo it, but still make progress on the job.
My wife is having some new issues. She thinks it might be a sinus infection. She called her doctor and will know more later on today. She has always had sinus issues to the point where we can predict the weather by how bad it is. We are at 80 percent for a thunder storm and cold front hitting us tomorrow, so that might be it too.
Because Covid is so wacky and unpredictable, we are cautious of anything that might lead to a relapse.

Mine left me with a sinus infection. I worked through the whole thing (alone) and it slowed my recovery

The change in a person's scent perception is weird with Covid. There are lots of variations with this phenomenon.

While I was sick, my client decided that they wanted a door to go from the upstairs apartment, into the storage area in their attic. Originally, they just wanted me to create a hallway in the corner of the bedroom of the upstairs apartment so they didn't have to crawl through the 4 foot high opening under the rafters. No problem adding a door, except I had to stop and catch my breath three times just carrying it up the stairs!!!! Every small use of strength requires more breathing, and it's like my lungs are right at the edge of doing all they can when I'm resting. Just walking up the stairs empty handed causes me to breath a little harder. Today my lungs and throat feel like they are burning, kind of raw and painful. I'm taking the day off and doing nothing. I feel like I can keep working, but I don't want to push it and make it even worse.
Karen is heading in to Tyler right now to get another inhaler and a prescription of some kind. Her lungs are congested and her voice is gone, she is afraid of getting an infection. She thinks it's because of her asthma that the Covid made worse. She works from home, but she is on the phone and in Zoom meetings a lot, so she is talking constantly, and that seems to be making it worse. She also struggles with relaxing. She says she has to take break and sit down, but that only lasts ten minutes at most, they she is up doing something for the dogs, or whatever catches her attention. I call her "squirrel" because she has the attention span of a squirrel and jumps from one thing to the next without any clear plan or path for going there.

It's been 6 weeks and my wife says everything still smells like burnt cigarettes, like how your clothes smell after a night at a bar or bowling alley. She still can't smell her coffee. I'm back at work, 1st day in several weeks. 4 hours on my feet. Didn't want to get back up when I sat down for lunch! :ashamed:
Anyhow, could always be worse. Hope everyone recovers well. :thumbsup:

Yesterday Karen sent me a text saying that she could smell the chicken in the dog food that she was making. She was so excited!!!

When life gives you lemons, make dog food. :laughing:
Glad she's getting that sense of smell back. :thumbsup:
