I got tested today. I thought I’d got the hang of the whole nose swab thing, but the person picking the sample was out prove me wrong. We’ve gone back to the method that calls for the collector to stick the swab so far in, you run the risk of having your eye dislodged in…
Been a minute since I was here. While I was away, there were a few more headaches -nothing serious; I assure you I have had a worse time with hangovers. I’ve had to clear my throat from time to time to allow my voice to operate at its best. Despite all this, I still identify…
It’s Christmas Day and way back when, that would mean last minute shopping and getting agitated by the long lines of like-minded individuals spread out across the supermarket. Not this year though… or the last, actually. Now we just stay put and hope for the best. How about we simply run through 10 things. Masking…
The Morning Nothing dramatic to report. I’ve checked my oxygen saturation using three devices, and it looks good. My BPM was low, though, sending me to Dr. Google – I didn’t find anything meaningful there.

I like the song “Mary, did you know?” by… well so many people. I personally favour the version by Clay Aiken, the version by Pentatonix is nice too. On a good day, I’ll sing along – where sing means string the lyrics together loudly in a manner that suggests my voice has enjoyed a relationship…
“Hello, is this Ivan?” The voice at the other end of the call begins. I’m freaking out, thinking he’s going to deliver some grim news about actions from hours past. Nonetheless, we might as well get on with it. So, fighting the urge to take on a new accent, new identity and, I suppose, a…
The evening before; A friend hinted there might be a nationwide internet blackout, but I was too preoccupied with the security situation back home to do anything about it. I also didn’t have the chance to share this bit of intel until it was too late. As I type this out, I have a message…
12th Dec. 2020 | 1515Hrs I woke up this morning with this random idea, “What if we updated the nativity story to fit the times?”. As usually happens with these things, the idea evolved as the day progressed and I finally tightened it (I think) with the hope that maybe, just maybe, I might actually…
