Today I

Didn’t sleep
Cried
Slept
Am a covid 2x survivor
Have 4 chronic illnesses
Baked cupcakes for Charlie’s 6th birthday
Am in relapse mode
Said I was sorry too many times
Saw the sun
Looked at the shimmering pool, the greenery around me
The desert drying the sickness from my body
Cleaned up the animal cages
Gave up
Kept going
Got mad at the internet
​Got off social media (again)
Signed up for COVID research programs
Let Mike do more than his fair share of the household duties

Am a fighter
