    I'm currently a massive ball of anxiety, thanks for asking.

    You don't have narrow airways along with the narrow cranium do you?

    (I'm sure you'll be fine).

    It's the wife I'm worried about. The Flu landed her with Pneumonia last winter and she has scarring on the lungs off the back of it.

    In seriousness though, need to get her isolated as much as you possibly can. Mine spent a week in hospital before with pleurisy and it’s only minor compared to pneumonia.

    Is it possible to be alerted when someone posts? Giggles & Don seem absolutely obsessed with one another.

    I've decided to cancel my weekly big shop and do daily trips (possibly twice on some days). Just went Waitrose and the queue was long and provided the exhilarating social experience I needed to try and break free from the current mire. One thing is for sure, you're fucking having a laugh if you think the mental scars of this 12 months will heal quickly.

    Try not to worry as it's out of your hands and you'll know soon enough. Appreciate it's easy for me to say that as I've not received the text (yet )

    Hopefully your daughter has just got the regular sniffles. It is that time of year...

    Positive thoughts.

    Struggling with absolutely zero to look forward to at the moment (this 'just a few more weeks' rhetoric is total bullshit, even if it's true, because there's no certainty). Have started obsessing on daily covid stats in the hope that it will improve my state of mind when they eventually start to turn.

    This is probably the worst time ever to start a diet. But my eating and drinking had hit DEFCON 1 levels, so something had to be done.

    That pretty much sums it up for me too.

    I'm not sure there's anything that I don't feel, at best, 'meh' about.

    Monday was a struggle, today's better really. It's a bit of a slog really at the moment and hard to fully motivate myself for work.

    My coping strategy for the last year has been (outside of work) to try and completely immerse myself in things to make the stretches of time go by. I've read an unbelievable amount of books, watched a certain amount of TV, played loads of FM last year, and although I haven't got into the new FM at all I've got an OOTP save going and an F1 2020 championship on 100% race distances.

    Last night alone I must have done about 5 of those things in turn because I can't concentrate on any of them, my brain has almost stopped working. I've also forgotten how to talk to people and have conversations.

    I was hovering over upping this thread in the morning before Manc but I decided against it when I saw I had posted last and didn't want to seem too whiny but let me tell you, this isn't fucking fair and waaaaaaaaaaaa.

    No but seriously, it's as bleak as it gets. I did some exercise yesterday (indoors obvs as THERE'S NO FUCKING SUN) and that improved matters considerably so I'm going to just try keep that up like the classic prisoner stereotype that we all basically are now. I picked up a strange non-impact foot injury a couple days ago though which is complicating things.

    I only have a small percentage of the usual new year enthusiasm, which translates to doing quite well in achieving personal goals but I really do just want to jack in the job for almost anything else. Sometimes I can't believe I've chosen to sit at a computer all day for however many decades.

    On top of that, I've got an exam on the 15th and I'm struggling to take anything in. Concentration levels were already low as my mind seems to flirt with absolutely anything other than what I need to do, but the effects of working from home full time are starting to become more and more clear.

    What happened to your walking? Invest in some good waterproof and windproof gear and get out whatever the weather. I was running in a forest on a hill in a hail / sleet blizzard the other day and it was peak exhilaration. The running top underneath my Montane jacket was bone dry (other than sweat).

    Are you doing it during daylight? The darkness has really killed off the buzz for me and just made it downright annoying in parts with minimal lighting and I don't want to be following streetlights or getting one of those horrific head torches. The weather I'm fine with and actually relish.

    Fair - weekends are the best time. Put a bit of James Blake or similar in your ears and hit the pavements at night for a while. Good vibes.

    I can cope with the cold, but the darkness at this time of the year, on top of everything else, is truly awful. The only real sunlight I see is when I walk the dog at lunchtime.

    Working from home is great and I hope this turns into a full time thing. I can understand why folk wouldn’t like it though, especially if you’re living alone or stuck with your partner/whoever 24/7.

    It does fuck your routine up though. I’d been waking up after 1pm over the Christmas period so trying to sleep at 11pm before work yesterday was grim. It’s been snowing here too which stops it from being fully dark which is nice

    I suspect we'll end up with having to do a day or two in the office and working the rest from home but there's no talk of anybody going back at all yet so I dunno what the script will be. I don't hate the idea of doing a day or two in the office to mix it up a bit.

    I reckon if you placed ten 'long covid' sufferers in a room of a hundred people I could pick between seven and nine of them out. First up, all the women with short hair. Get a good look at them. Anyone who looks like they have 'husband/dad' in their social media...

    Post viral fatigue syndromes are well established clinical fact.

    Sufferers have demonstrable structural and functional changes on brain MRI.

    It's clearly mental as seen by the fact once I'd got over the intial hurdle yesterday, I did my physical exercise fine and felt much better after. But it has a clear knock-on effect, physically.

    As you say, if I had to be up I would have. The fact it was so fucking cold outside my covers was also not of help.

    I was in the Lewis camp but I imagine if some fat mess was going through the same thing as me, they would milk it so I'm also thinking this is what long COVID is. Mood seems fine (relatively speaking ofc).

    Yes it's clearly mental based on your anecdotal sample on 1.
