    I have a cold virus at the moment. Home test confirmed it wasn’t Covid, influenza a/b or RSV. So just a bug. It’ll run its course and I’ll be ok soon.

    I feel pretty bloody ordinary but not as bad as I did when I got Covid when I couldn’t stand up for more than 45 min at a time due to fatigue. Or the only time I’ve had influenza A which absolutely rocked me and necessitated a hospital visit for fluids.

    I’ve not had cause to leave the house since I became symptomatic but I need to tomorrow. I’m going to wear a mask and keep my distance as much as possible. I was reflecting that a few years ago I would have gone to work in my office. I would have justified it as ok because I feel like I’m on the tail end of the illness and can probably handle going in, even if I feel like shit.

    And my workplace would have also expected that. So bizarre to think about.
