Ourselves Alone

tracker7I gave up on Wednesday and made an appointment with a grocery store clinic. Tested negative for Covid-19 and strep, the latter of which I was getting convinced that I had. The NP read my description of symptoms and the timeline, and said it was very probably a combination of the bad cold I picked up from Dad, convention crud, and a brutal allergy attack. At her suggestion, I bought a supply of Allegra-D, and it's been a helpful, combined with Betadine antiseptic gargle.
Because of the inflamed and constricted throat, I've had trouble eating - not much appetite, either, to be honest. Soup, Boost shakes, and whatever drinks I can force myself to sip instead of guzzle. I managed to get a couple slices of pizza down this afternoon, and then weighed myself. For the first time in decades, I'm under 200 pounds. It won't last - when swallowing isn't painful and I want to eat again, there's going to be a ridiculous meal to celebrate.
Saw some of the turkeys again yesterday. They're still in the same field, so there must be some good grazing over there for them. Still no interest in hunting them, in or out of season; it's just neat to see them roaming around.
