day 2, upon waking

Fever is up to 100.1: "oh, that's why I feel hot". Turned off a/c, opened the windows in the sickroom (with some labor) and turned on ceiling fan to try airing out some of the cooties. Failed to get back to sleep so took 2 acetaminophen. I keep wavering between Very Hungry and Meh; I figure I'll have some cherries and yogurt in a bit and then take the next round of anti-virals.

please let coffee still taste good

Symptom check:
- Nose is running a bit
- sinuses are pressure-ful and hurty but thank heaven I can still breathe through my nose
- still feel rather bronchial but if I don't breathe deeply it doesn't trigger a cough, mostly
- Neck and shoulder a little stiff on the left side but I *think* that's just from being in weird positions, rather than the new meningitis-flavored BA.5 symptoms
- Throat isn't sore, as such, but feels swollen.
- and obviously headache / bleh feeling from fever.

So *far*, emphasis very strongly, it is not as bad as the mono I had my freshman summer in college, or the Really Bad Flu I had before going to Australia. But it is very early days yet.

ope just started a tearing cough, yay
