Had a rough night's sleep, was feverish at the beginning but never really got more than an hour or two of uninterrupted sleep. Head was also congested. When I got up, I decided to go for a walk to judge my energy level. Felt better on the walk, although I got a little more tired near the end than usual. I walked for a longer time because I was pretty sure my movements during the day would be limited. When I got home, I took a COVID test, and it showed a positive result. Bummer. I let the brothers know, as well as Ann and the kids. So, the rest of the day was a light duty one. I did, after it cooled down (it was over 105 at the highest temperature), feel good enough to put my Fuji bike back together. I also took the rear tube off and patched it, letting it sit overnight. Other than that, not much else, other than catching up on blog entries, doing a little coding, and reading. Of course, I isolated from Ann.
I finished reading Anthony Doerr's All the Light We Cannot See. This was a good read, lyrical and compelling in its storytelling. The end seemed to be a tad rushed and not quite as fulfilling as the main body of the book. But Emily's choice was a fine one. Now I'm back reading David Brin's Existence. It is sprawling, with a large number, maybe too large a number, of storylines interwoven. The essential theme seems to be around discovery of ancient stones that serve as communication devices with a collection of alien cultures who are looking for humans to join the collection. The world is post-apocalyptic and fairly chaotic in a way that is actually fairly plausible.
