  • long covid and the spoonie life. . . changing some of my plans unexpectedly.

    Well, y’all, I’ve written a bit about this persistent long covid – the unreal fatigue that keeps just laying me out along with the worse than usual body pain and the brain fog among other things.

  • good friday 2023.

    Happy Good Friday, y’all. I am so sorry it’s been so long. I have been adjusting to some insane fatigue that is coming and going with this post-Covid business.

    So, y’all, it’s been a full month today since my positive Covid test – but really about five weeks since I got sick – and I am still dealing with post-Covid fatigue that is overwhelming. I’m used to autoimmune fatigue – so I think that is why maybe this has caught me so off guard.… Read more

  • day 2 of lent (with a side of covid)

    Well, y’all, today didn’t go exactly as planned. Of course, this week has been a sick week – but my chest has continued to be congested and this morning it was just really tight, reminiscent of childhood asthma and feeling a way I haven’t experienced in many many years – so I knew something new… Read more
