Two More Days of Leave

I actually came down with COVID on the last day of the holiday. What a Flower in the Mirror, Moon in the Water.

Low-grade fever, headache, body aches. A few nerves in my head kept throbbing nonstop.

The more I slept, the more exhausted I became, but I was still unbearably sleepy.

I slept the whole morning. In the afternoon, I said I'd write a few words, but after fewer than three sentences, I slumped over the desk and fell asleep again... only waking up now.

I really couldn't think at all.

All I felt was sleepy, with a headache.

I'll take two days off and see if I can get a little better.

I'm truly sorry, fellow readers.
