Another week where plans have had to change. I really must just realise that 2022 is not my year. Covid has kicked my butt this week but will not give in. Still got a few weeks to get things done.

Oh, no! Is this your second bout of COVID? Taking care of yourself is the most important thing to do. Get all the rest you need.

This is my first confirmed case although I had a very bad cold in July. Resting is important as is drinking load of liquids, they recommend 3 litres per day.
