Free! Free at last!

So I tested -ve this morning. Hurray! I can now go out if I want to. I could conceivably go to the Bonfire Night display in Cambridge on Saturday, except that I still feel exhausted and dizzy and do not fancy it.

Maria from the morris is having a fireworks party of her own on Saturday and I can't say I fancy that either, but I know that DH will go. DH going to every party in existence is probably why he got covid in the first place and brought it home to me. Though honestly, if I'm going to get it anyway, I might as well go to the parties too.

Meh. I'm going to give myself another week to recover and book tickets for the fireworks display in Wilburton instead. Son will have enough notice to come down from Northampton for it, and Daughter & S-i-L have said they're up for it too. Hopefully I'll feel well enough to enjoy it too, that way.

I'm glad you're testing negative! That's a relief. Hopefully no lingering symptoms.

[galadhir]

Thanks! Well, atm I'm still dizzy, exhausted and coughing, but it does seem to still be improving day by day, and it's nice to be able to go for a little walk.

[mistressofmuses]

I'm glad it's at least improving! I think "dizzy, exhausted, and coughing" was pretty much my covid experience when I got it in 2022. Zero fun, but hopefully getting better!

[galadhir]

Definitely getting better, thank you! :)

I'm glad it's finally passed, but yeah, taking time to recvoer sounds like a good idea.

[galadhir]

Definitely :) I have to rest as much as possible over the weekend to be in shape for my bellydance class on Monday!

[malinaldarose]

Oh, lucky! I wanted desperately to take a bellydance class once upon a time, but couldn't find any and now that they're easier to find, my bits and pieces won't take it.

[galadhir]

Yeah, admittedly the class is 45 minutes drive away because the one in our town never got back to me. (I assume they're closed.)

I took up bellydancing because I couldn't morris dance any more thanks to the fibromyalgia and arthritic knees. The nice thing about bellydance is that theres not a lot of jumping about - you're just standing still and jiggling ;) So it works for me. But I am the oldest and fattest in the class, so I think I'm also making a room full of youngsters feel better about themselves!

[malinaldarose]

You're providing a public service! I could probably do the upper body stuff, but my feet and ankles hate me, so I'm not sure I could do shimmys (shimmies?) or any of that sort of thing.

[galadhir]

LOL! Yes, there's no getting away from having to stand up for the whole class - which is an hour and a half :(

OTOH, shimmies come from the knees, so you're probably alright there :)

[malinaldarose]

I wouldn't be able to stand that long, especially in bare feet. :-(

[galadhir]

Oh that's a shame :(

I used to love fireworks, but now, they trigger my asthma. I've had two really serious attacks (one got me into casualty) from firework displays.

[galadhir]

Oh no, that's terrible! Are you okay as long as you stay in the house? You don't get spillover even from displays that you don't go to?

[watervole]

It seems to be okay as long as I stay in the house.
