So, I'm sick.

So, I'm sick. I've been sick for nearly a week now, which is kind of part for the course. Any cold causes me to get a sinus infection and that always tries to move down into bronchitis.

Because of masking, this is literally the first time I've had a respiratory infection (that I'm aware of) since 2019. For context, I'd have this happen 4-5 times per year in the before-times. The most likely source of infection is a cold fomid from takeout.

What's absolutely shocking is how different the experience has been than it used to be for me. Substantially lower fevers, less exhaustion, less congestion, and an overall lower likelihood of needing antibiotics. It sucks, but it sucks substantially less than it used to.
