bedlamsbardcurrent health whatever update
I woke up yesterday (Monday) and was fine for most of the day, so didn't call Student Health because like. I felt normal? Late evening my eyes started feeling vaguely scratchy again. Woke up today and was headachey, mostly in my left temple, some pain/pressure around my left eye, upper left side of my nose -- some nasal congestion too (I have had a little bit all along, but it's very noticeable today; I am also always low-level congested, especially this time of year). So...I'll call Student Health tomorrow. It isn't covid; I got my test results from Saturday back yesterday. (The university is using a new saliva-based test, which sounds like it should be a cheek swab but is in fact "spit in a tube and put it in a biohazard baggie." I assume it's more accurate than the gentle-nose-swabbing rapid antigen test we were using before -- no, I've never gotten the violent nose stabbing test because every time I've done it has been through the university!)
My sleep schedule is currently more messed up than usual since I'm trying to yank, at the very least, my wake-up time around from 2-3 pm to, like, before noon -- hopefully I'll be auditing or taking a couple of language classes/reading groups this term, but it's currently complicated for various reasons. And since they're online I can't just show up at the classroom until the registration gets sorted out lolsob. (It's my advisor, so it's not a complete stranger I'm trying to coordinate with; my poor advisor has been on sabbatical all last year, so is now teaching online for the first time and I don't think she's having a great time with that.)
mleh. I would like to not be sick. I mean, at least it's not the plague, but mleh. (Sudafed didn't help.)
