What a WEEK. Went to see my granddaughter in Chicago last weekend (she graduated from Navy Basic Training last Thursday, will be Quartermaster). Came home feeling a bit sick - turned into full blown fever/congestion/sore throat/etc. I'm turning the corner now, but what a week.

Doc said it was "a form of flu or a really bad cold". Not COVID. But honestly, I'd rather have COVID again, I had that in late 2021 and it was a breeze compared to what ever virus I had this time.
I won't be leaving the house for another day or two but I'm on the mend. For a while there, the fever just kept me so incoherent, the boss asked me to "take the rest of the week off, your emails are too confusing to read". I work in a home office, sometimes, it's hard to 'let go' and take time off.
