Tail end of covid fatigue?

Tested positive last weekend. Felt very much like a head cold. Very congested, blocked nose, painful sinuses. Normal energy levels to start with though, just a throbbing sinus headache. Been doing housework as usual. Not bad to stay in bed and managed without a nap. If anything I was less tired because I've been home every day not doing a huge amount. Been busy wrapping presents etc though.

My symptoms have got lesser during the week. Just left with sore sinuses but that could last a long time as I am prone to sinus inflammation.

However, the last couple days I've been so tired. I keep feeling like I need to rest after the smallest things. I'm still awake now - somehow. Like I could curl up and go sleep - impossible with two kids with sen. I feel my eyes dropping and drooping.

Normal?

Perfectly normal. This is an illness w a sting in its tail, esp if you overdo things.
