On My Day 5 of COVID-19

Today is 09/20/2022 and according to the local protocol it's DAY5 of my infection.

In theory, from the sounds of it, I can go back to work as soon as I get a negative PCR test . So I've already given my sample this morning. Results tomorrow.

All days since infection have had symptoms, mostly mild, including today.

I'm 63.

I did lose my sense of smell for the limited period of Sunday afternoon. On Sunday after disinfecting the bathroom I was consigned to in our house, making a project out of making it nice after a summer of neglect, I decided a bath sounded good. That's the first bath in many years. It was good, but the pine scented soap offered no scent. Then I checked the next day and I could smell it fine.

Instead of riding and work I've been doing some digital keyboard music composition, and yesterday I made some recordings. I'm a total hack. Well later I took a nap, and at some point I woke up and said toy myself hey I left the computer on and turned the thing off and lost all of the "work" I did. This is brain fog. I wouldn't normally do that. No big deal though, because despite the brain fog and the symptoms I can still play and do it over today.

That's just weird though. I disregarded the computer prompts to savey work. My bad. It's sort of makes me wonder if I could forget to torque bolts to spec while working now.

I'll have to be extra-methodical.

​​​​​​Next thing is working on a flat lander bike today and taking it for a solo spin on an empty short circuit . I haven't been on a bike since last Wednesday.
