The Best Laid Plans...

 Well, my January has gotten off to a rather sucky start.  Here in Ontario, they stopped testing most people for Covid-19 (there's a very small list of people who are still eligible for PCR testing).  So now, if you have certain symptoms of Covid-19 (one or two +, depending on the symptom), you now have to just assume you have Covid, and isolate for a minimum of 5 days (you have to be symptom free for 24 hours if you're a vaccinated individual like me).

I ended up with symptoms last week (nothing major, just a sore throat, a bit of a headache, and a stuffed nose) and now have to isolate. :(

For the first few days it wasn't a big deal.  I slept and mostly stayed put on my couch (it ended up a great opportunity to start reading some magazines I've been putting off for awhile).  But after a few days, I was feeling better and starting to go a bit stir crazy.  Hopefully my symptoms will go away so I can get back to work (and walking!) 

Unfortunately this also means my exercise goal for the year has gotten off to a really bad start. :(  Hopefully I'll be feeling up to doing yoga or something tomorrow since I'm still isolating.
