bodies (ugh) and smoke alarms (ugh)
Feb. 20th, 2024 07:51 pmWoke up with a sore throat around 4am this morning -- probably yesterday's exhaustion was the first sign of this latest upper respiratory ailment's onset. I did feel better otherwise, though, so after another several hours of sleep I went in to work and successfully caught up on my email and some other stuff.
I think I will once again go to bed early, on the theory that the best way to mitigate illness is to get as much sleep as possible so my body can divert all resources to my immune system.
-----
Completely unrelated: the smoke alarm by my front door began beeping two minutes after I got up. I pushed the test button to reset it, but that didn't resolve the issue. I suspect it may be a low battery, but for the moment I took the whole thing down and pulled it apart. (I have three other smoke alarms, this is fine for a day or two.) I will poke at it tomorrow evening, assuming I am feeling less drained.
