Covid diary: day 2

Things that are already improved: muscle aches are much reduced, headache is gone, still snotty but not as bad as yesterday.

Things that are worse: Last time I can remember my throat hurting this much was when I had strep. I sound like Tom Waits with a cigarette hangover. I'm honestly afraid to look at it.

Things that are unchanged: Wet cough (ow), vertigo, just want to sleep all the time. Foggy of brain.

I barely ate yesterday and today my body has this vague idea that food is a thing it normally does, but it's like - the signal is coming from outside the house. I put together a plate of humus on toast and some cubes of cheese and apple, just things I can vaguely poke at whenever I'm awake.

Water, on the other hand, I cannot get enough of the stuff. I am constantly thirsty. Also constantly in the bathroom, but you know. Humans are just water's way of getting around.

And the lovely and talented [personal profile] bcholmes dropped off some butterscotch flavoured hard candies. They're doing a reasonable job of making my mouth taste slightly less like I've been licking robot assholes.
