I woke up not feeling quite right, but pushed through my morning routine. By early afternoon, I was fading fast (chills, muscle aches, lethargy, general malaise), and told my husband that I was going to chill on the couch and play video games. By early evening, I felt just awful. I tested my temp and had a fever, 100.4, which explains the chills and muscle aches. Weirdly enough, I felt exactly the same as after my first vaccine shot. No idea if this was COVID related, or just a weird one-off flu. I emailed my friends to cancel Jeo-Party, which pained me so, but my husband and friends were completely understanding and responded with well wishes. It's weird taking a sick day, not from work or school, but from obligations I've made for myself, games with friends, cooking dinner for my husband, taking care of the baby chicks. Luckily, he can (basically) fend for himself and he can help with the animals, and my friends are totally understanding. It is delightful to have a life where I can take a sick day to rest and get better (even though the actual being sick part still totally sucks and derailed all my plans for the day).
With delight,
♥Jamie
