I tested negative for covid today!!
I guess that would be the headline, if there was going to be one. I’m still not feeling back to 100%, and it’s hard to put my finger on what is wrong, but a negative test is a meaningful move in the right direction here.
My throat and sinuses are still feeling a bit shredded, and I’m more tired than I feel like I ought to be, but all of my taste and smell are back and everything else is good.
I had a reasonably good coaching session this morning and checked off all the boxes on my daily todo list. I am trying “morning pages” now, and today was day two, and it is going okay.
I have also implemented a morning “tech-free walk,” which is an idea from Sahil Bloom’s “Curiosity Chronicle” newsletter. Today I did the first one, right after dropping the kid at the bus stop, and though it was damp and misty and gross, the walk was good.
I had planned to parlay the walk into picking up the library book I have waiting for me but our library doesn’t open until 9am, so that nixed that plan.
I also managed to do a little bit of piano practice, though if I’m being honest it’s a bit frustrating at this stage and I’m not totally in love with this Easy Piano app. I already accidentally paid for a year of it, though, so I’m going to try to see it through.
