And we stayed as we were, which was hell

[sovay]

I am lying under a cat and sneezing. I have an earache and a fever. I am sick. I home-tested negative and so have the likeliest vectors, so realistically I have an ordinary spring crud, but at this point an ordinary spring crud is sort of the final snapped straw of my stamina, so I resent it almost as much. The one thing I have done all day that felt useful was get out of the house before sunset and photograph some flowering trees. They were encouragingly energetic.



[edit] My godchild sent me a care package of things to eat when sick, like kippers and oranges and fortified rice cakes and Jell-O and the nostalgic kind of chicken soup in a box. It was incredibly kind and the rice cakes taste surprisingly good.

Sorry to hear you have caught something. Best wishes to feel better soon.

Thank you.

I regret to mention it, but did your likely vectors test negative on PCR, or only rapid tests?

Only rapid so far as I know, but if this is COVID, then a potential total of seven cases are either all evading multiple rounds of antigen testing or totally asymptomatic. I've been sick since the weekend. I just got around to complaining about it now. As my chances of dying of COVID have been consistently estimated to be high even with the so-called lower-risk variants, I am going to hope the tests are accurate and it's just spring crud. [edit] I didn't know about the free PCRs at the City Hall Annex and I appreciate the information. [edit edit] I PCR negative. So it's probably crud.
