January Got Away From Me

[meghan9436]

I took cues from a mutual to make time to update in the mornings before I go to work. So much has happened in the month of January, but I had been neglecting to update my blog or my Traveler's Notebook. I didn't update my YouTube until just the other day. I have emails, and DM's piling up. I have even fallen so far behind on my Reading Page that many updates have fallen off the feed. I promise all of you that I'm doing my best today to get caught up!

But to be fair, I've had this cold that has lasted for over a month. It really put me out of commission, and I heard from other coworkers/bosses that this stronger strain has been going around.

I have also put my art and planning in the back seat to make more time to study guitar seriously. Having so many hobbies, I find that I keep cycling through them because there aren't enough hours in a day to manage them all.

But, I want to get better at my time management so that I can pursue all these different things. Even if it's just between 10-30 minutes a few times a week.

More to come later today.

There's some kind of gross cold going around everywhere right now but nobody's getting tested - my coworker went to the doctor's office and wasn't even offered a COVID-19 test or a flu test! - so it's impossible to say what it is. Last I heard, COVID-19, influenza, RSV, and adenovirus(es?) are going around in Tokyo right now…

I hope you feel better soon! Those lingering symptoms are so annoying.

Yeah, it's hard to get medication also. The last time I hit the drug store, they almost refused to sell me cold medicine because they were putting number limits on customers. And it was like, I promise you that I didn't buy any before- check the cameras if you don't believe me. My appearance is pretty identifiable now, being foreign with bleach blonde bangs in the front.

A cheap (albeit unreliable) Covid-19 test I took at home showed as inconclusive. I'm not showing other hallmark Covid symptoms like loss of taste.
