unidentified ailments suck
I have been ill with ??? for the past few days. Symptoms are brutally crushing exhaustion, a nasty sinus headache, and intermittent stuffy nose/sneezing, though the latter may be as much spring allergies as anything else.
(It's not Covid; I checked.)
I called in sick Monday and Tuesday and did not use Wednesday to make up for either day off. I have been sleeping A LOT, to not nearly as much effect as I'd like, though the headache did finally ease off midway through Wednesday afternoon at which point I logged into my company email and triaged my way through my inbox so when I got into work this morning I wasn't facing a complete disaster.
I am still absurdly tired, though, and I still have no idea what's causing that. I spent the morning unable to do much beyond sending slightly tweaked template replies to emails, but after my morning tea, my morning pills, and then my lunch and a caffeinated soda I was finally able to kick my brain into gear and start doing tasks that required a bit more mental effort and coordination.
And now I am going to fall into bed because I'd like to be slightly more coherent tomorrow. I think I will also take a Benadryl for various and sundry reasons. :/
