I’m a bundle of nerves over here as we’re now twenty-four hours out from the Mayor’s surgery. Of course, some of the shakiness may be low blood sugar due to a lack of food since Saturday. Fortunately, I am starting to feel somewhat human again. My stomach isn’t fantastic, but I no longer feel like I’m going to throw up every time I stand up. Which is a win, so I’ll take it. Thankfully, my neck, shoulder, and back muscles no longer feel like they’re in a vice grip. Nevertheless, I’m staying away from the Mayor so he doesn’t get whatever this is. I took two Covid tests and both were negative.

The urgent care doctor gave me a note excusing me from work today and tomorrow.
Knowing that I’m already scheduled for surgery tomorrow, I didn’t want to miss today. Plus, now that I’m not constantly throwing up, there’s no reason I can’t work. I work from home, so I won’t expose anyone else by going to work. The alternative was to lay in bed all day and get sucked into the black hole that is streaming.

Yesterday, I finished Hillary Mantel’s Wolf Hall on Masterpiece Theater. First of all, I love Mantle’s work and am so sad we lost her last year. Secondly, the show is well done. I can’t wait for them to finish the remainder of the trilogy. Thankfully, I also felt well enough to read last night, so I was transported to yesteryear via Alison Weir’s work on Medieval Queens. Her first book in the Queen series takes on the Queens of Conquest starting with William the Conquerer’s Queen Matilda and ending with the ascent of the Playangenets. So far it’s a good read. She does a good job telling the story with some brio.
