Side effects, really?
After such a dreadful October, for so many wrong reasons, this month is fast behaving like the perfect autumn weather. Damp and misty, with chilly spells and brief bouts of welcome sunshine.
Of course, this meant I had no excuse for staying indoors but to at least try to clear the shambles outside the back door. I spent over an hour out there yesterday, but it will need several more visits from me before winter sets in.
We are still trying our best to recover from the covid virus, but the lingering aftereffects are in many ways worse than the virus. Apart from the general weakness and all the aches and pains, I seem to be having weird hallucinations too. At first, I thought my vision was playing up, but it kept happening, and I saw vague people shapes and small animals going up the stairs or passing me around the house. Sis has developed vertigo, which is most unpleasant. These are both real side effects and can last for months. We won’t be sorry to see the back of them, and the sooner, the better.
We pray we don’t get this virus again, and our booster shots are already booked.
I was determined to make some headway in the seriously cluttered office, too, weird visions notwithstanding. I have been trying to conjure more enthusiasm, which, I hope, will grant some much-needed inspiration. I actually gritted my teeth and looked at the current WIP, and surprisingly, I was pleased by what I saw; so very happy about that.
All I need now is to find where my get up and go is hiding, so I can get back to it.
(and a little normality would be wonderful!)

I’m sorry the healing is taking so long ladies. I don’t know anyone who has had bad bouts since all the booster vaccines became available. Have you two had any boosters?

Sorry it’s taking so long to recover. It’s a bit of a sod, this virus. It seems reluctant to let go . Hope you feel better soon.

That ‘my get-up-and-go-has-got-up-and-went’, feeling is so hard to wrestle into oblivion. May you find s’more getting’s-and-going’s soon. 🙂

I am working on it, Widds, but why is everything so much harder as you get older?

Oh my! Those are some pretty disturbing lingering effects, Jaye. This is the first I’ve heard of anyone having hallucinations. Pray that all returns to normal soon!

I am feeling so sorry for your ongoing issues with this virus. Here the village is so dreadful, it seems the virus had protected itself not visiting this village. Lol Best wishes, Michael
