Saw the doctor today - lungs have cleared up, but there's still a lot of infection in the upper respiratory system so I will continue to stay sick and weak for a while. Still have a low-to-high grade fever. Big concern is the strain on my heart and the panic attacks. Need to get over the infection first, then we'll address it. First outing for a while today though, finally. Oh and doc says this is definitely Covid. Was sort of hinting at getting tested, but then said to let it be since we would have to go back into quarantine, and treatment would remain the same.
Mum's back to being more active around the house, took the Pup for both walks today. Apparently, he missed going with me. Lots of cuddles and even tail wags (he rarely does those for me - have heard it's because he's totally comfy around and sure of me)

No rest for me though - I have to get back to working on new projects even though most likely won't have any exhibitions this month. Just praying that we can get a few orders through word of mouth. And big news - I have found a venue for workshops. Very reasonable charges, decent location. Now just have to plan the courses and find students. This could work out!
Overall week ended better. Not a lot of yelling from mum, though yesterday morning there was some. I showed her that the thing she was yelling about was already sorted, so she turned on dad instead. Pretty routine. Might get worse in the coming week as we continue to recover, but whatever.
Also, I got her a couple of paints, including one she really wanted, for Mother's Day. She will crib about me spending money, but I earned it and spent it on something she needs, so
Also saw the peeping Tom today. Have seen him around a few times, but this morning he was up on his terrace in his lingerie, so I went back inside. Thought he was gone so went upstairs, but he'd just been hiding out of sight. Solidly ignored him for the next half an hour until he left - he barely has a few pots but kept hanging around. Was looking at someone else, I think

so basically, as incorrigible as the Gruesomes.
I've got some really cool new seedlings - ladyfinger/okra, bitter gourd, cucumber, tomato, white bean, lemon balm, and what I assume is lavender. So peeping Tom or not, the terrace I have to haunt!
