Welp, I'm definitely sick.

My nose was pretty wildly stuffed by the time I went to bed. I managed to get an hour or two of sleep and then woke up at 2:30 and made myself some soup.

I also finally buckled and turned the heat on in my apartment, as it's 49 tonight and I'm chilly. I'll likely nudge it back down when I get back in bed, because I hate to use it needlessly, but I'm hoping the bedroom will be a little warmer when I'm ready to return.

Still fairly optimistic that I don't have Covid—or at least not a new, nasty strain—as my symptoms have been and seem to be remaining very mild, but I'll be going out to grab a test later in the morning, assuming I feel up to it. (I will of course be masking, given that I am actively sick.)

Probably going to load up on peppermint tea, too. I can't believe I don't already have some, as it's the only hot tea I'll reliably drink (I generally prefer coffee), but I suppose that's how it goes when you move across the country and have to replace all your household staples.

Here's hoping I can get a little sleep semi-upright on a stack of pillows. I haaaate sleeping lying down when I'm stuffed up like this. Also my sinuses being stuffed weirdly makes my teeth hurt? Does this happen to anyone else or am I just an odd bird?

Sinus issues definitely affect my teeth! And the insides of my ears itch, which drives me nuts. I hope you were able to get some sleep. If you want me to send you some peppermint tea, holler!

I am finally pulling out of this horrible cold. I seem to have managed not to pass it on to the SO, which is a minor miracle.
