I have a chest/throat/ear infection (I think I mentioned this last week) for which I have antibiotics and painkillers.
I appear to have managed to avoid contracting COVID from the sister - she tested negative yesterday, which ends two weeks of mask-wearing in the house. A couple days more and we can be reasonably sure that I'm clear. This mornings RAT came back negative, but I'll go a PCR tomorrow or Wednesday just to be sure.
My back is still a bit achey, but held out on the Sunday game. Unfortunately, my stomach did not. I had nausea for the first half of the game and it wasn't until I threw up (while off the field) during 2nd half that I felt good enough to really play; except by that time we were 2-0 down. I did have a good half a game, but that nausea wrecked me enough that I was probably only running at 75% for the first half.
I'm really kind of exhausted lately, run down and not quite here. The bi-weekly trip up to do the Permaculture Course is one aspect of it, but so are a bunch of other things including the election and the environment, the coming of winter, and just...life and everything.
Today was a public holiday for the ACT - for Reconciliation Day - so I got a public holiday as well. Which was so nice. Lie in bed with the cats until 10am. Go have lunch with mum. Come home and do some writing. Take a long bath. Go to bed early (ish). Might stay up and watch Have You Been Paying Attention with the sister.
Finally, after I find out if the job wants to rehire me, we might look at getting the house renovated.
Cutting out the drafts (the house is full of holes that seep heat) would be the priority, then insulating the walls. Ideally, extend the front of the house, then build a pergola and grow a deciduous vine over it. The goal is to work out how to maximise light and sunshine in winter, while reducing the heat absorption in summer. Expanding the house and stopping the use of gas are secondary considerations, but still significant.
Ten years. That's the plan, and I think we're going to have to get a move on because I have a feeling things are going to become really precarious in the next five years.
