Small victories

February 26th, 2024

I got up and ate a piece of bread with some butter. Then I took a shower. Then I changed the bedsheets and aired out the bedroom. I even put my clothes in the washing machine and started a cycle. Then I felt so tired and my head was spinning so much that I had to lie down for a while. Now I am back up and writing those few words after not writing anything for two days. I count all that as small victories after two days of being violently sick with a stomach virus and related ailments connected to it. I feel getting slightly better and hope to be close to normal tomorrow. For now, I will appreciate the mundane feeling of being clean and with clean clothes and clean bedsheets. I might even be able to appreciate food after barely eating since Saturday morning.
