There was a buzzing on my wrist midway through my interview with Howard Polska, who documents right wing media at therighting.com.
My Fitbit was telling me I was in the zone, or at least that my heart was racing. That usually happens when I'm running or walking briskly.
Maybe.
I thought it was the two energy drinks I drank that day.
I was so wrong.
I somehow managed to escape COVID-19 for the entire pandemic, despite working in the field as a reporter, despite begrudgingly masking. And somehow, someway, it creeped its way into my sphere.
As my conversation with Howard came to a close, I found myself talking louder than usual, and a bit faster too. I was jacked and somehow exhausted at the same time.
Soon came a cough, and I couldn't keep food down for days after. Lethargy took over. I was too tired to walk the stairs.
The good thing about COVID or this version of COVID is the worst didn't last very long.
I tested negative within a few days, and I was on the mend shortly after.
I was fortunate.
But I think it's left its mark. I get tired easier than I used to, even now, months later. I guess time will tell.
