I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Schrodinger's illness. Not reassuring at this exact moment in time.

Right? Now I'm like, is that a fever? Wait, is that a fever? Do I want to cough?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Ugh, Dana! Healthy thoughts.

Has anyone been in touch with amyth lately? How goes her treatment?

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Stuff is blooming and my allergies are getting cranky, so my nose is perpetually running, but all I can really think is "Sweet! That's not a COVID-19 symptom!"

Hahaha same! I also occasionally cough but I know it's the same cough I've had since, like, October and it's less frequent if anything so it doesn't worry me much. I have been taking my temperature randomly (it's always 97.something)

I'm gonna start decluttering, too. Knowing that there's no chance that anyone will be visiting anytime soon takes the pressure off getting the "public" parts of my house in order first, I can just tidy up wherever. I think that might actually be helpful.

I had the beginnings of a scratchy throat this morning, which sent me into a brief panic, but as it's abated with coffee and soup I think it was due to either allergies or sleeping with my mouth open. Still taking Zicam in case it's the onset of a garden variety cold, which I do not want to deal when tissue paper is being hoarded.

Happy anniversary, Laura and Brendon!

I've had that asthmatic cough forever, it seems like. Today I woke up really congested and juicy, so that's sinus, as far as I can tell. Taking my temp randomly, too.

Our wings are not tired.

I don't think I have a thermometer. Chances are they are probably out of those too. We have coughs, and sore throats, and sniffles on and off.

My son has now voted. I'm a good mom who drove him to the polls to cancel out my vote. Although he voted with me on the local issues.

hip deep in pie

I've been still sniffling and coughing form a cold I had a month ago. But since this weekend my throat has been a bit sore on and off, which is making me low-key paranoid. But one of my coworkers did come to work sick last week, so it's probably that if anything.
