wherein Liz is very tired (but in a frustrating and inexplicable way, for a minor change of pace)

I have had a very strange week, by which I mean I have spent since Wednesday the 13th effectively going through what feels like the excruciatingly prolonged recovery from a bad bout of flu (exhaustion, general aches, tendency to overheat or freeze at the drop of a hat, no reserves whatsoever) without actually, you know, having had the flu. The first two days I also had a godawful headache.

It's not Covid -- I got a test first thing, to be safe -- so I am just left with general ?????

Bodies make no sense.

Anyway, I was out sick from work for four days in a row, which is less than ideal. Still, I have been getting a tiny bit less drained and achy every day, and today I hauled myself back into work where I valiantly managed not to fall asleep on my keyboard, nor sway too alarmingly when standing up and walking over to the package counter. \o/

(I did some work from home, since I could still type and answer emails fine. I just couldn't, you know, guarantee not to disappear for a three-hour nap at random intervals. *sigh*)

Then I sat through a Zoom Board of Trustees meeting for my church (and managed not to fall asleep! ...though I think I lost some potentially important points a couple times as I drifted near the edge, blargh), and now I have eaten dinner at last and will go fall into bed.

Tomorrow is for groceries and cooking. I have a chicken stir-fry recipe I want to try, and I intend to make a batch of bean-soup-with-ham-and-veggies as well. I have set the beans to soak overnight by way of forcing my own hand into productivity. *wry*

And so I bid you goodnight. :)
