\"\"<\/a>This post will be short, for reasons that will become clear.\u00a0 But first, I have to applaud my former school, San Diego State, on reaching the NCAA basketball Championship game.\u00a0 Granted, while I spend every Saturday in the fall watching college football, I do not usually follow college basketball.\u00a0 In fact, before last week I could not have named one player on the SDSU team, much less the coach.\u00a0 But I’ve been paying attention since they beat Alabama, the #1 seed.\u00a0 As a diehard Pac 12 (or whatever our number is now) fan, I love any victory over an SEC team.\u00a0 San Diego State is a relative newcomer to the NCAA tournament, and I admire their underdog mentality.\u00a0 Frankly, at half time I had pretty much given up on them.\u00a0 But the buzzer-beating basket to clinch the game was one for the ages. Who would have thought that lowly SDSU would reach such heights? In the game, “Never Did I Ever”, I would have placed one of my alma mater’s being in the Final Four as one of my big lies.\u00a0 So, I’m very proud of a state school reaching the pinnacle of college basketball.\u00a0 I’m keeping my fingers crossed for tonight.\u00a0 An Aztec win might not be the ultimate Cinderella story, but it’s darn close.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>Now, an explanation of why this post will be short.\u00a0 After more than three years of ducking Covid, both my husband and I came down with it two weeks ago.\u00a0 He is recovering from tongue cancer surgery (yes, a bit of a buried lead) and his tongue is still swollen, so I was very concerned about how Covid might affect his already-compromised ability to swallow.\u00a0 Our doctor ordered Paxlovid for us in an attempt to usher the virus out at quickly as possible.\u00a0 Fortunately, my husband mostly had the sniffles and after four days he was feeling much better.\u00a0 I experienced more symptoms than he did but after a week I tested negative.\u00a0 Alas, just like my SDSU team, we’re also good at rebounding, as late last week we both tested positive again.\u00a0 The main activity in our house these days is napping. And although many of my friends blamed it on taking the Paxlovid, in another San Diego connection, the doctors at the UCSD School of Medicine analyzed a large population of people with Covid and found that the number of people who rebounded was the same, whether they were on Paxlovid or not.\u00a0 So, I can’t even blame the drug.<\/p>\n

The doctors say to eat chicken soup, rest and watch Netflix.\u00a0 I’m adding in some cake and hope that by next post I have the energy to write something more entertaining.\u00a0 In the meantime, if you want entertainment tune in to the Championship game tonight.\u00a0 GO AZTECS!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
