About 4 pm this afternoon, I suddenly felt a burst of energy. I immediately took off on a walk with Shadow and for the first time in nine days, I didn’t need to turn around and come home. We successfully completed the mile loop in my neighborhood. I think that is progress toward normal, so I’ll take it. Otherwise, I spent my day dealing with more of my sister’s health issues and reading. This bout with Covid has caused me to abandon my rule of no reading during the day. I have read many days away in the past week. Years ago, I read Ken Follet’s Pillars of the Earth and the next two books in the Kingbridge series. Last week when I was desperate for a book to read, I realized that a year or so ago I bought The Evening and the Morning which is billed as a prequel to the earlier trilogy. I am really enjoying it and find it hard to put down.
