Day Four
Based on the very unscientific method of counting back to when the aches and temperature first appeared, this is day four of COVID, and my body appears to be staging a remarkable fightback. As long as I sit quietly, the aches and pains appear to be leaving me alone. As soon as I try and do anything, my body starts overheating.
We'll try to ignore that after everybody left the house this morning I snuck down to make a cup of tea and discovered similar devastation to yesterday. At least it only took me three quarters of an hour to clear up today.
The washing machine is on it's second load so far. The dishwasher has been emptied and re-filled again (don't even ask), and the leftover food that had caused a cloud of flies to arrive has been dealt with. Of course now nobody can use the kitchen for a while – until the fly spray dissipates (the windows and door are wide open).
I was hoping to return to work tomorrow, based on feeling quite a bit better last night, but now I'm not so sure. My head is ringing. I'm not sure what causes that – blood pressure probably.
