5 August 2021

 

     I informed the staff I am sick with respiratory issues and I have been placed in isolation due to COVID-19 concerns.  They did a quick test and a normal test for COVID-19, but they did not do a culture for anything else.

     Whatever it is I am really fighting with it.  I am physically drained.

     With that said, they have me on an almost deserted unit, and the silence is absolutely blissful.  Although I will not be happy when I cannot get hot tea in the morning.  Plus I want to get things done, but I am so exhausted.  I am drained.

     My mind says go, my body just wants to rest.

     I added The Lives of the Surrealists, by Desmond Morris, to my daily reading this morning.  Duncan Hannah's book is drugs, sex, rock and roll, with little art.  Hence, the addition.

     I hope as Hannah ages I. his journals, he turns more to the art.  I am not holding my breath.

     At his age I was chasing the girls, listening to music, and drinking.  Although not to the extremes he did.
