I've been for the most part, absent from the Forums and just about everywhere else. Very briefly, 'cause I don't want to dwell.
I was working quite a bit out of town, came home a few weeks ago with another case of Covid. Unlike the 1st time, it hit me very hard. I've recovered mostly, but a few lasting effects remain. I've been trying to get back into the things I love, like my models, but it has been slow going, as the interest isn't quite there. I have been improving with those things as I do post a comment from time to time, and I've even started buying a few models, including the recent Brooklin/hobbyDB Ventura and quite a few from Jack Dodds. It's been difficult to focus and stay that way for a few weeks now. Hopefully, some arriving boxes will perk things up. Maybe a new post or so will come soon as well, I'm sorry for my absence and lack of interest. I've been around here so long; I'd never have thought it possible to lose the desire to visit every day.
I went back to work for a few days last week and again this week, it won't be until the 15th I return full-time, but I'm home bound for the rest of year at least.
I hope everyone else is well and all things are good for you. I am looking forward to getting back to normal, whatever that is, LOL!
First of all, glad that you're well enough to respond to our inquiry. Secondly, we're 'all' sorry to hear you had another go-round with Covid. That can be very tough on some folks. You take care and 'pace yourself' while you're on the come-back trail. Chime in and touch base whenever you feel up to it.
I think we all sympathize with the lowered interest while you work through that illness.
It was 5 weeks for me when I got it in 2020, and all I got done was eat (very little) and sleep (very little).
To give you a bit of upbeat, John, I'll say that suddenly one day at the end of week 4, I woke up feeling noticeably better than the day before, and one week after that it was gone completely.
Good to hear from you John prayers sent for a complete recovery from your problems. I know when I had covid I was down and out for a few weeks still haven't gotten my smell back totally take care of yourself.
I'm Still Around...
