In the past 24 hours, the news that several federal agencies had been compromised through a suspected supply chain breach of a network management vendor. I haven’t been as grateful as I am today to no longer be in operations in quite some time. At the same time I have a great deal of empathy and compassion for all those in operational roles and employees the firm and agencies that got breached because I know how hard they have been and will be working for the foreseeable future and just how stressful it is to respond to a breach.
I started to feel the early signs of a head cold yesterday when I woke up. The congestion and other symptoms got worse as the day progressed, and I have a full-on head cold today. In the past, this would have turned into a chest infection and possibly full blown bronchitis. However, my general health has vastly improved over the past five years and I no longer get as sick as I once did. I am grateful for my physical health.
As this day winds down, and I begin to relax for the night, I am grateful for the cup of cinnamon tea with honey that I’m having which is soothing on my slightly sore throat.

I’m not sure where you live, but maybe get a covid test? And take care. My work mate was in the hospital on oxygen for a week and is finally recovering. She’s young, healthy, fit.
Scary.
Take care,
Anne

Thanks Anne. I’ve considered it. I’m feeling better today and haven’t had any of the covid symptoms like a fever or a cough. Feels like a normal head cold. But if it lingers or I get worse, I will seek medical attention for sure.
