Day 310 of writing every day.
Compared to yesterday, I’d say I’m feeling a lot better today. It was partly due to exhaustion I think, and I got plenty of sleep last night to help me recover. The sore throat even went away mostly but I suspect some viral infection was involved as I squeezed out what looked like phlegm when from the back of my mouth. This was done while doing the action one would when trying to clear their throat and/or gather up some spit to spit out.
There wasn’t much and I feel pretty cleared up, so I’m hoping that the infection was very minor and got chewed up by my immune system before it got the chance to grow into something bigger than would result in quite a bit of phlegm. Given that winter is coming and I got a second interview lined up tomorrow, and perhaps more opportunities may come along later, I decided I should take more preventative measures against getting sick. I wouldn’t want to ask for an interview reschedule as a result of being sick after all.
So, I went to the same drug store as yesterday to buy some alcohol disinfectant wipes (there is no soap in the restroom of my current assignment, unfortunately). Masks are also widely available now with the COVID scare now in the past, so I bought a small box of those as well. And then I got nasal strips just in case I get a stuffy nose at some point and want some additional relief that pills aren’t giving me enough relief with.
Anyways, I’ll be getting some extra rest tonight as well.
Thanks for reading!
