Another 3-card past/present/future spread, using the Urban Crow oracle deck. And musings on how these might relate to my current circumstances.

Warning makes me think again of the increasing signs I've had in the last few weeks that my neurological disease was going out of control. Even as I should be improving a little, as I was coming out of my latest 3-month-long post Covid vaccine neuro flare. I have now noticed these, and am alert to them. And will decide whether to re-raise my strong immunosuppression drug in 6 weeks time, if not sooner.

There isn't anything otherwise bad happening to me that can be linked to Mischief. I'm more minded by seeing it that I need to have playful fun, despite everything. So I'd like to take that as a reminder that I need to make an effort to have good mischief in my life too. And that's something I can do something about.

Gifts is a reminder of my upcoming birthday (a pack of playing cards birthday as I like to think of it!). I know that Martin has been getting some things in for me this week. He is also arranging a gigantic fudge doughnut cake again from Fisher & Donaldson, at my request. Though this year he will need to pick it up in person from the city centre shop. They no longer do local home deliveries.

Martin has a positive LFT test for Covid. So clear even I could see it without my glasses! He is feeling pretty ok. I have a bit of a rough throat, but don’t plan to test until tomorrow. I am very slow to show any positives on LFTs. But we are currently ok 🙂

It’s so ironic we had one outing to St Andrews. Where Martin was largely masked, and me too when I was indoors. We haven’t been to the infectious risk of the Worldcon. Aarrgghh!

If I test positive I can access antivirals, if ill enough. And would want to pause my immunosuppression for two weeks. But that is for another day.

This will be Martin’s 5th known Covid infection. And if I get it my 4th. All in under a year.

One of the symptoms I had from Covid that seems more common with recent strains was very tickly/itchy around the eyes. Though no sign of conjunctivitis/redness directly. That went away, but seems back now. Possibly due to restarting my strong immunosuppression drug at the weekend. But otherwise I'm doing good. And still officially negative. My winter vaccines are due in 3.5 weeks. That time scale does work with my known infection.
