this is unfamiliar

Can't remember the last time I was this sick. Maybe'18? '17? Maybe not since sober or maybe, definitely nothing from the start of the pandemic till now. Plenty of oh I wonder if I'm sick, nah just tired. Nothing like a raging sinus infection too fuck things up. First by cutting my sleep that I'm already really short of and trying to adjust to a different time zone, do that a few nights in a row and then take a red eye as the congestion worsens. Hey of the plane with no voice. Incapacitated after getting home. Managed to do weekly shopping, tough when I did need to say something yesterday, coughing, nose going from dripping yellow stuff to stuffed up. Throat going from tolerable to painful. Lungs still clear at the moment. Did get some guaifenisen but when that 4hr window rolls around it sucks. They are def helping and I'll feeling kind of marginally better but so tired.

Stayed home from work today. Will again tomorrow at this rate unless I wake up miraculously better. Finally can do this without pushing the return because I'm not alone in the faculty anymore.

Coffee? Went from maybe too much but not sure to oh hello what? At at least 33% less coffee than normal, maybe more. Blessing in disguise? Dunno, is rather have the coffee and this illness.

AND NO BIKE. No pedaling. Maybe that's why I'm falling apart? No energy to get on the bike today. Not at all. Not good. But it makes sense and I'm not worrying about it. 

I mean it could be L's cold thing she got, and it took me until second round of travel to wear everything down enough to let it slip through. It isn't covid tho so that's a relief.

But it still sucks. 

Sinus pressure is less than last night, at the moment. So that's good. But we'll see. Gotta stick it out till 11 when I'm due for the next dose. If watch the college game but no ESPN. So will suffice with swiping a quick post on the phone post shower.

This is strange, I don't like it, but hopefully can come out of it soon... I'd like to get back on the bike and in the woods.
