Day 6 of COVID

I’ve been in bed this whole time. It looks like maybe I’m done with the fever, according to Apple Watch, so maybe I can start doing a bit more. Our weather is terrible, so it’s no problem to keep taking it easy.

Finished reading: An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Realms Around Us by Ed Yong 📚a wonderful book, full of interesting science leavened with plenty of heart.

Finished reading: Tomorrow, and Tomorrow, and Tomorrow by Gabrielle Zevin 📚I didn’t love it. Seemed overly full of itself.

Finished Reading 2023: A Deadly Education by Naomi Novik 📚perfect book for a sick-in-bed day. With a well-done lesson on privilege without being cloying.

Ugh, COVID finally caught me. Such a faint line on the antigen test, but I can’t deny that it’s there. Trying to figure out what to do on this holiday weekend as far as accessing care.

@help I got some errors after using the new Book Goal feature in Epilogue on iPhone. I clicked on my Book Goal and used the Post button to automatically create a post. It didn’t post and I received various errors. I’m using your Arabica theme. Fixed it, I think, by deleting the Book Goal plugin.

Finished reading: The World We Make by N. K. Jemisin 📚a fun read. Very much “more of the same” from the first book in this series. Interesting dose of quantum multiple universes theory.

5 big questions we still need to answer about long covid

Currently reading: Ducks by Kate Beaton 📚

Finished reading: The Magic Kingdom by Russell Banks 📚Loved it though I can’t say exactly why. Mainly the voice of the main character, full of a regret that somehow felt relatable and useful.

Woo hoo, I’m at 69 books read for the year and expect to finish a few more before Dec. 31. Maybe I’ll catch up to @artkavanagh. Very happy to have Micro.blog Bookshelves keeping track, though it would be awesome if it would do the math for us LOL!
