Touch Me But Don't Take Me Down

Summer COVID strikes.  A nastier version packing more punch and lasting power.  I can't think about how this is most likely shortening my life span due to the damage that is unclear to my heart and lungs, nervous system and God knows what else. But it is clear, these bouts are not just the common cold for a shit ton of people, as the New York Times article seems to elude to today by Emily Baumgaertner, the national health correspondent.  And its all fun and games until more youth is plagued with Long COVID because guess what?  There is not much known or can be done but when you got it, you got it, like Herpes. That's my scientific guess.  I don't believe it goes away.  Time will tell if I'm right. 

Hangry and sad, I made a very quick shrimp pasta with Brussels Sprouts, mushrooms, onions and spinach.  Soy, chili, Sesame oil and garlic went in.  It was so bright and light going down that I was able to concentrate on its nourishing benefits and get my mind off of heart-attack possibilities.
