I feel as if I lost a lot of ground to a gnarly case of Covid over the past couple of weeks. I had two weeks of clear infection symptoms and then a week of simply being exhausted and unable to get out of bed. The benefit of keeping trace of one’s biometrics that I […]

There was a Baz Luhrmann song “Everybody’s Free” that became popular at graduations for millennials. It was delivered as advice for the class of 99 and became a cheesy but heartfelt touchstone for many millennials celebrations. It is a tearjerker and contains some useful insights on nostalgia and advice. Be careful whose advice you buy […]
Day 1264 and Party’s Over
I am going on my third week of having Covid symptoms. I don’t know if it’s time to call it “Long Covid” but my autoimmune response to it feels like it’s being dragged out. My family doctor (an absolute gem of a general practitioner with a concierge clinic if you are ever in need in […]
Day 1263 and Hoe-flation
As I run out the clock on the last vestiges of my Covid infection (two fucking weeks give me a break), I’ve had the pleasure of being extremely online. There has been a bit of a kerfuffle on the costs of being “a well kept cosmopolitan woman” with varying levels of push back that are […]
Day 1260 and Boredom
I’ve never understood boredom. I am very much the kind of nerd who enjoys learning. I’m mostly topic agnostic so life has been a pretty joyful experience of deep dives & rapt attention. I struggle to be empathetic towards boredom as everything interests me. I don’t know if curiosity is innate or learned but I’m […]
Day 1258 and Relapse
I woke up feeling reasonably good this morning. I thought perhaps my prayers have been answered. I have been managing a case of Covid for over a week so I really wanted to be turning the corner on recovery. It’s hard fully rest with an infection and this case overlapped with a lot of big […]
Day 1257 and Other People’s Labor
I am laying prone in bed hopped up on DayQuil and the good codeine cough medication. I have Covid and apparently this bout will be no picnic. Being sick can feel vulnerable. I imagine to most eyes I am economically and socially unproductive in this condition. I am not able to labor. When I am […]
Day 1254 and Zipppp
I hadn’t expected to have a busy day. I’m really not enjoying having Covid. It’s an inconvenience and it sucks. But suddenly I was getting all good news from all sides. A startup with a round. Another founder preparing to go out for an enviable raise with exceptional traction. An SPV for a round everyone […]
Day 1253 and Dragging
I may give myself an out today to get very little written as despite me being a bit further into my “I’ve got Covid” saga I am in no way feeling better. I do not want to have a long case of Covid or the much dreaded/debated Long Covid and I am trying to remain […]
I must have wanted some early 2022 vibes as my current “Covid infection after a traveling to a crypto conference” feels aesthetically familiar. It still feels like we are in the same long now of Empire’s End but this time with more geopolitical risk. I can’t think about most of this at the moment as […]
