sickness update

I took another COVID test this morning--still negative. I'll keep testing, because I've heard of home tests not showing up positive until days after symptoms begin.

I did go into work, but my grandboss suggested I go home after about three and a half hours. I wasn't planning to stay all day anyway, since walking around and talking both make me cough miserably. But it's nice to be encouraged to leave instead of getting crap over it.

My symptoms don't seem to be getting worse, which is reassuring. *crosses fingers* They're not really just cold symptoms, though. I have some body aches and chills and no appetite, plus the cough started much sooner than it normally does for me with a cold. Maybe this is the "yes I got the flu shot" mild version of the flu, or just some weird random thing.

Slightly dreading tonight, because last night I woke up coughing multiple times.

Whining when you have a cold makes you feel better, it's science! I hope you really do feel better, though. There's so many viruses around, from COVID to RSV to flu.

I hope you are asleep and recovering from a weird random thing.
