Post-COVID

I made it most than two years without contracting COVID, thanks to a good degree of caution, mask-wearing, and vaccines, but it finally caught me last week and knocked me down. All in all it wasn’t too bad, but it was rough enough that I had to end my daily blogging streak at 620 days.

Today, it begins again.

To be honest, I’m rather frustrated that it ended. We had been on vacation the week before in NYC (which is where I picked up COVID), but I had worked very hard ahead of that trip to have enough content to make it through while traveling and keep thing humming along, which I did. Unfortunately, I was running low on content by the time I got home, and couldn’t catch up while sick. Once the streak was broken, I simply took the rest of the week to recover and to get this week off to a solid start.

I still believe in the same reasons for daily writing that I shared two years ago, so off we go!

  1. It’s sort of sad that you broke your streak but you had a good one and can be happy about it. And the next one will probably be better. No shame in taking a break!

    • Yep, I hate that it had to break, but the week away was a good time to catch up.

      On to 1,000 this time!

  2. I noticed that I hadn’t seen a post in my feed for a short time. NYC looked like fun, hope you are better now and can’t wait to join you on the next streak!

    • Thanks! NYC was indeed great, but that wasn’t something I wanted to bring home with me. 🙂
