COVID Day #4, Bixi, and total changes at work

 It's been 4 days now and I still feel weak. It's cyclical, I feel ok for a few hours, then I feel horrible for the next couple of hours. It's just not great. My calf were killing me this morning, along with the usual headache, painful cough and lack of energy that takes my breath away when I climb a set of steps.

Sabi had some fever last night. However, except for a cough, she seems better today. Mathieu is ok.

Even though I'm not working there was an emergency meeting this morning for the entire science department. We are being split in two, all 110 of us. Rebecca is going to healthcare which really sucks as I loved working with her. Amy is now my direct boss which is great. In some ways I'm getting higher in the hierarchy. However I will miss working with Rebecca.

Finally, Bixi is now around us. There are bikes near our IGA, and more at the dep. the other way. That's so... different.


Mathieu tested negative. I brought him over to Ollie's where he's going to stay for a few days.

Sabrina has Covid-19

I am feeling so weak, and covid is so painful. My throat, my chest, my muscles, everything hurts so much. This is the first time in decades that I've been sick for more than two days. I don't really deal well with that. I'm also emotionally fragile, something I find really weird. Sara texted me to offer some soup and I started balling like crazy. I blame it on the lack of sleep and my inabilities to heal correctly as for as still have responsibilities to take care of.



The tough one is that Sabrina also has covid. She tested this morning and spent pretty much the entire sleeping and fighting a fever. I feel bad for my daughter who took care for me these past few days. It's okay, we'll get through it.
