Day 133: Is It Covid?

Being sick for this long is not like me at all. I asked Ryan if he thought maybe it’s from the Hashimoto’s and he said he thinks it’s Covid. He said when he had this last week his taste was a bit off. I’ve only had Covid one other time and the symptoms I’m having now are very similar to what I had then.

Today’s episode of the Solopreneur CEO show was a solocast by me. I recorded it on Friday. It took about an hour with 3 different takes. During some parts of it I was reading directly from the script. The full recording was 45 minutes and the edit on Sunday took about 5 hours. I cut whole segments and pasted them in different parts. The final edit was down to 25 minutes. I probably could have got it down to 20.

Do you believe that stress can impact your immune system? I think recording that solocast definitely didn’t help keep me strong. I open up sharing that in 2020 I had a podcast where I recorded 24 episodes until things got too weird with the pandemic.

I think also the stress of having Ryan home sick all week and the storm that has resulted in the boys being off of school this week set me up. Seeing all the reports out of Minneapolis was the final straw.

If you think about it, it was a great time to get sick. I was able to just lay around and actually recover.

Today I was able to get some stuff done. I walked the dogs a couple times, did the dishes and made a baked ziti. It’s the third I’ve made and I’m kicking myself from being too intimidated to make it in the past. The guys are loving it.
