Brain fog - an enduring cause of frustration

My brain fog goes on.

It varies markedly from day to day.

Recently, for several weeks, it has been particularly frustrating.

Sometimes it feels like trying to reason in a sieve. Pieces of information seem to have "disappeared" so that they can't be retrieved.

At other times it feels as if I have "clear" ideas in my mind but something in my brain refuses to work to bring them together to produce anything worthwhile in writing whether a blog post on this blog, on the Surviving Boris blog or on the Corona Shock blog.

I also want to make progress on the Covid Inquiries blog but worthwhile content somehow refuses to flow.

I know that the issues I am trying to explore are enormously complex but the brain fog makes things many times harder than I feel that they should be.

Plodding on seems to be the only way.

Given the passage of time it seems likely that I can't expect the "brain fog" to get better.

The best option available to me is to take all available steps to avoid a further Covid-19 infection.
