I guess more vulnerable people may get antivirals, but we don't. Thank you for using our indigenous name! Let's hope it becomes the country's official name soon
I'm noticeably better today, like I have done quite a few chores and even left the house - twice - once for pharmacy supplies and once for milk (and to reccy oven options since ours has just decided to stop working properly). Both times I was made very aware that I'm not nearly as well as I first thought. I've honestly had a massive improvement since yesterday, but I'm tiring within 15 mins of moving around, so I'm comfortable I've done the right thing by taking more time on sick leave. I get 5 days courtesy of the government's Covid response, but I have more sick leave available as per my employment contract, so I can take that. I might run out next year, but that's future me's problem.
Adam also has plenty of sick leave so he can get fully better before he goes back to work. It's actually quite nice being home together, even though there were plenty of days where we hardly saw each other because I stayed in bed but he hung out in the library. Today we've both largely been in the lounge.
I spoke with Puck earlier today, and he's gone to visit Charli tonight. Also, good news, Iris and he seem to have actually seriously de-escalated their relationship and it's stuck this time (I've delayed saying that, but I think this is actually it). He's already clearly more relaxed, and he's moved into the part of his year where he tells himself he'll focus on personal wellbeing rather than dealing with the campground. He was musing during our call this morning (my time) about how he needs to get to know himself as someone now in his 50s as he's not really done that yet. I hope he does make healthy choices for a while; I'm trying to as well so I can recover as best I can from this. I have lost a couple of kg over the past 10 days and I swear it's really noticeable (since it was all bloating). So I'd like to keep it off.
The daffodils are starting to come out in droves. I love their yellow cheerfulness, I really feel like spring is here, although that means that soon we're going to enter a really rainy season which I'm not so fond of. But this year is 2/3 done, and I've really been wanting this year to be done for a long time.
I've messaged Sam and am hoping we can have another call this weekend sometime. I've honestly got butterflies thinking about that.
