Day #2: I awoke this morning alone. The room was quiet as the warm sun rose over the cityscape and lit my room. Emily has successfully returned to the US and had been updating me via WhatsApp. Still mostly symptom free except an improving sore throat. The last three days were nice with relaxation but I had started to worry about my training for the Ironman and general sanity. The hotel staff have been amazing with any and every request I made. Today I finished a 90 minute yoga session. Luckily I was able to order food via Uber as the room menu was severely limited. The reminder of the day was filled with books on tape and movies. I did get to see my pups and Emily at home before crashing for the night.
Day#3: I started to get into a monotonous daily routine. Woke up after a great night of sleep. Did 90 minute Bikram yoga session. Watched multiple movies and listen to my book on audible. The exciting portions of my day consist of position changes on the bed or, and brace yourselves, moving to a chair! It’s Sunday so everything was mostly closed. I am getting tired of the delivery food already. I don’t have very many healthy options. Fortunately, my spirits have remained somewhat neutral. I’m not super depressed, I’m not currently sick, however I cannot wait to leave this room. The staff again has been phenomenal at this hotel. I did break the rules a little bit and snuck out last night for a 10K run at around midnight to avoid people. It was warm in the dimly lit city at night with ‘youths’ occasionally spotted skateboarding. It felt amazing. Although, I think there’s heavy smog here because I had coughing when I came back that I believe is not Covid related.
Day #4: Given that it’s Monday I worked to complete as many tasks as I could including emails, setting up a physician to meet with me at the end of my quarantine to certify me to go home, I took a repeat Covid test that was positive again luckily these are the cheap home tests I brought with me. I was on the phone for nearly 2 1/2 hours rearranging flights to try to get back early and start working. The amount of loss revenue is pretty significant, I will have to repay lots of shifts over the next two months. Continue to watch movies, yoga, I think I might try for another run tonight.
