covid diaries

Day 0: ignorance sure is bliss

Day 1-2: learning to take nasal swabs and ignoring the bioharzardous waste disposal warning. Straining to read a chapter of Depression Hates a Moving Target (not sure if I like the overly journaling style) in between naps, more asleep than awake.

Day 3 - 5: mistaking a recovery in energy with recovery in general, sleeping too late, halting actual recovery opps. Read Portrait of a Thief, do recommend! Like the range of immigrant children expression. 

Day 6 onwards: mix of moments of confidence where I act like a functional human (catching up on chores!) being with moments where I'm yet again lying down on the couch reading (Pachinko this time, as much of an emotional gut puncher as Scenes from a Marriage) and eating Chinese bakery bread for meals. 

Carnita (thanks Arty for recipe) and subsequent tacos I made before Day 0:


and some smooth music (thanks Tin):
