Day 309 of writing every day.
The weather is changing and the strange case of not being quite warm but not quite cool either makes fall an easy time to get sick for many. Whether it’s caused by a virus or some internal imbalance caused by the body’s reaction to the fluctuating temperatures is beyond me, but I feel like I’m coming down with something.
My symptoms are mostly a sore/scratchy throat and a bit of mind fog if I have to describe it. I made a quick run to a drugstore near work in the morning to buy some OTC medicine and took some cold medicine just in case before the starting work. It didn’t feel like the medication did much, but the slow dissolving tablet for throat issues did help quite a bit and have more medicinal symptom relieving effects than regular cough drops that are basically half candy.
Still, the day went by pretty fast I’d say. Even if I wasn’t feeling my best, I made it to lunch and had a pretty good appetite. After a lunch nap and a quick afternoon nap during a break to recollect myself mentally, I felt much better. Perhaps it’s not as cold but just exhaustion that’s causing these symptoms. Delayed exhaustion, if such a thing exists, might be what I am feeling.
Anyways, I’ll be getting some extra rest tonight.
Thanks for reading!
