Catching up on columns I didn't share while deep into recuperation Since 6 Aug is Jamaican Independence Day, and Jamaican food is *so* tasty, I chatted with Kitchener's Chef Ofelia Clarke about the foods she grew up with :) #WaterlooRegion #JamaicanFood #CanadianFood www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Before the week begins, I have a specific request: Spread the word about the threats to democracy and how we can fight back. Tell everyone to subscribe to Democracy Docket and share its content. demdock.com/4w6emld

Cached US #KindleBookGiveaway: 10 copies of Lord of the Isles (Lord of the Isles Book 1), by the late David Drake, which I *have* and *have read* and *have enjoyed*. My biggest complaint about the books is that they got very formulaic in the middle of the series. There are giant swimming varanids.

So I'm doing couch exercises to regain strength and stamina. I'm using the Finch app to keep me on target. I love that thing. I also use it for breathing exercises.

Flo and Rob are the loveliest pair and don't deserve to be going through this (nobody does). If you have a wee bit of cash to spare to ease things for them while Flo gets better you'd be doing a very good thing.

About halfway through reading this I found my hand over my face and my eyes wide with horrified dismay, so, yeah, if you can help Tobias, his family, and his cats at all, this is a pretty frustrating and wretched situation they've ended up in. :/

Day.... I don't know. I'm feeling better enough to feel restless. I stole one of Joy's laptops and installed Ubuntu on it. I will use it for school. But doing anything just wears me out! Napping still takes up most of my day. I'm convinced my taste buds will never be the same. #CovidChronicles

I had COVID years ago but this time is worse. I masked pretty consistently until that one time. Never again. I have mild asthma and I hope that remains the case post recovery. I hope any damage is minimal. I have enough to cope with already. #CovidChronicles #CovidCautious

Paxlovid is nasty but if it keeps me on this side of the dirt, I just drink tea and suck on lemon drops. Don't get COVID. Get vaccinated. Wear masks. #CovidChronicles

Ergle blergle. Meds acquired. The savings card didn't save us anything. I still have a fever but much lower. The cough is still brutal but less frequent. Still napping a lot. #CovidChronicles

Tested positive for COVID. I feel awful. Fever, sore throat and yucky cough. Waiting to hear back from my doctor. Luckily we have a room that I can isolate in. Asking for good wishes, prayers and food delivery gift cards.
