I've dropped the ball on Blogtober. It's funny how it's so easy to do this when you have developed the habit, and so difficult to restart. I think we lose our "writing voice." I've basically been on the couch since Monday night. I went to work on Monday, and then Monday night felt a sore throat and some congestion coming on. Woke up on Tuesday morning and felt shitty. I've been on the couch ever since. I've been tested for both covid and strep throat, both of which were negative. Turns out I'm just a big wuss with a cold. But my god, what a cold.

Life gets really uppy and downy. I will attempt a post each day this month.
