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.

The TV weather people have been issuing dire predictions of tree pollen.

Whatever it is, I hope it passes quickly! *hugs*

Under the tender ministrations of your godchild, I hope you recover pronto! It seems like a very well-put-together care package. (And the photo is beautiful. And cat healing is best healing)

With Autolycus, the godchild, and Primavera as nurses, I hope you'll be feeling much better soon.

*hugs*

I hope the crud subsides quickly. I am glad you have a cat and a nice care package.

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

I regret to mention it, but did your likely vectors test negative on PCR, or only rapid tests? The current variants have some tendency to not show positive until several days after symptom onset, or not at all. (e.g., four people in a household all get sick at once. Three test positive. One doesn't, repeatedly, despite having the same symptoms and same exposure so almost certainly the same bug.)

Somerville has free PCR tests for residents, Tuesdays and Thursdays, if that helps.

Ack, I'm sorry! May it pass as soon as possible. The magnolias are lovely.

Hope you feel less cruddy soon!

[shewhomust]

I'm sorry you're poorly - but that sounds like a good treatment regime!

*hugs*

That's sweet of your godchild!

Feel better soon! I'm very glad you got your care package! (I periodically see kippers in the store and think of you, so if you ever need a restock, let me know.)
