Sun 27th - "Reaffected and Renamed"

The tiredness kicked into me again today. Apart from a croaky voice, Covid has left me pretty much unscathed, but Jeez I felt exhausted this morning. Those two days I've just had back at work (even, admittedly, on light duties) obviously wiped me out! I slept for about 11 hours and felt much better for it though. Stupid virus.
I really fancy a walk somewhere, but Philippa has reacted to that idea as if I had suggested giving Mathew a plutonium sandwich. Apparently I'm an idiot who doesn't know what's good for me, and I'm risking overdoing it too soon and ending up dealing with 'Long Covid.' I think she's wrong, of course. I also think it's time we came up with a better name for that condition. Lots of people have it and I don't think they gave it enough thought when they originally christened it, so now it's a constant in our society it should have a moniker to suit. I'm thinking something like "Post Corona Hell Fatigue" or "Oriental Tiredness" or "SARS-induced Arbitrary Apathy" but you may have your own suggestions.
And Philippa's wrong, by the way. I DO know what's good for me - she is.
