Ugh.
On Saturday night, I got home from work, we ate dinner, and I almost immediately fell asleep - by probably about 8:30 or so. (And tbh, I don't know where the rest of the time up until then went to.) I woke up long enough to take the dogs out in the -5°F temperatures for the 10:30 jaunt, then came back in and went straight back to bed.
Otherwise I felt okay, I was just so fatigued I couldn't DO anything but sleep.
I was annoyed about it yesterday at work, because I do have stuff I want to be working on, but I literally did absolutely nothing after getting home. So, I set up a plan to get caught up here, to get some writing done, to catch up on some tracking, to maybe do some household stuff...
I still felt fine, though I was really tired, despite having slept a good 11 hours or so. It was miserably cold, and I caved and bought a cup of noodles from the corner store for lunch because eating something warm sounded good. It tasted just slightly off, but I figured it was just that it was, y'know, cup of noodles. Now I'm guessing it was an early sign that I was getting sick.
Came home, still pretty tired... and fell asleep before 7:30. Again, got up long enough to take the dogs out in the -10°F temperatures. I was awake for a little bit longer, but not enough to do much. Fell asleep around midnight.
Woke up by about 1:00 with a sore throat. Hoped it was just how cold and dry it's been, but drinking liquids made it feel worse. After that, I just woke up every twenty minutes or so because I'd swallow and it'd hurt enough to wake me.
Texted my manager and told her to have the other support staff wipe my desk down with lysol before she sat there today, ha. Fortunately today/tomorrow is my weekend.
The roads were pretty bad all day, so we didn't go anywhere (except, again, to take the dogs out in the now "feels like -25°F" windchill.) Maybe tomorrow the roads will be clear enough for a dayquil/nyquil run.
I don't have a fever, but I *feel* like I have a fever. My skin hurts, I'm achey, the inside of my ears feel sore and hot. The worst is definitely the sore throat. It's so swollen it's difficult to swallow, and it is extremely painful to do so. I slept most of the day, and Bella was mostly a pretty good cuddle buddy, lol. (Cy kept nearly shoving my legs off the bed, ha.)
I got the full "staying home sick from school" experience (despite it being my day off), as Alex put on Judge Judy's new show ("Judy Justice" or whatever) for mindless background. Judge Judy was *always* what was on in the middle of the day if I was home sick, haha.
Took an (admittedly expired) rapid test, and did not come up positive for Covid, but we've got flu and RSV and mystery crud going around, too.
Sooooo, everything else is on hold. Not gonna worry about writing or catching up here until I feel at least a little bit better. I hope everyone else is well. I'm glad this likely isn't Covid, but it's still no fun.
