If you enjoy your work, keep doing it. I couldn't wait to move on from what I had been doing at work for the last five years. Before that, I really liked going to work.

Early retirement, if you can do it, is priceless. There are exceptions: Your name is Mick Jagger or Dick Van Dyke. But for the normal working man/woman, the years you spend not working for someone else are worth their weight in gold. Work stress is as damaging as disease. If you love your work (not just for the money, but really love it...) then work until you expire. Otherwise...own your days.

Well...we've just had a holiday weekend in the US (Labor Day). My wife flew to the east coast to attend a wedding. When she returned, she was coughing. Next day...same. Took her to an urgent care facility, as I suspected COVID. Sure enough...she has it.

Point being...there are new variants making the rounds, but more importantly, my wife reported that at every airport visited there were huge crowds of travellers. People are packing themselves into airplanes, to stadiums, etc., coughing into the air, without masks. My wife is athletic and very, very healthy. She hasn't had a sick day in at least 20 years. Until now...

I think we're in for a large increase in COVID cases in the next 3 months.

I'm sorry to hear your good lady has caught covid but it did make me giggle a bit when she reported that and I quote
"Every airport visited there were huge crowds of travellers packing themselves into airplanes "

I wonder how many of them thought the same?

Hope she gets well soon and you avoid catching it.

On BBC Radio 2 today an unnamed nursing home in Norfolk has 48 residents testing positive for a new strain of covid.

She almost didn't go on the trip because of COVID, but...water under the bridge. It's been 5 days and she's still coughing and not sleeping. I too hope I don't get it, but we'll see...fingers crossed. Nasty stuff. Expecting a big increase in cases soon. Locally, hospitalizations are up 15-20% in the past week. No alarm yet from "the powers that be", though the WHO says the new variant mutations are occurring rapidly and expressed concern.

I got it two weeks ago (first time I'd had it), and it completely wiped me out!

Fine at 6pm, felt drowsy at 6.30, by 8pm I was a feverish shivering wreck.

Today is the best I've felt since I copped it, but my taste still hasn't returned. Everything just tastes off - like coffee tastes like fag ash
