pshaw_ravenI very suddenly started feeling awful today. Specifically, I have a lot of aches and pains - joints, muscles, even my skin hurt for a while. I noticed I was weirdly sensitive last night when Fox put his hand on my knee and I tensed because it tickled. Anyway. I napped this morning for a couple of hours, but I still feel like I just ran a marathon while being chased by people hitting me with sticks. Nothing else is wrong, my temp's a little elevated, but not to Covid 19 levels, and I am not having any trouble breathing or anything. So I have no idea what I picked up or where.
Right now I'm just sitting on the couch derping out and looking at Reddit. Reddit can be awful, but I follow a lot of cute animal subs, biking and running, and photography ones so my feed is usually pretty nice. I just read an interesting post where the comments were all about good bike trails in Duval, and they recommended a 14-mile loop I have saved on AllTrails. They said the pavement is good and it's shaded most of the way, so sounds like it would be okay for a summer ride. Obviously I'm not doing any bike riding today. Meh.
We're supposed to be getting a lot of rain and storms, so I hoped somewhat it was just the barometer dropping and how that can make certain things hurt, but everything hurts - just not the things I'd have expected. I cracked my big toe a couple of years ago and it typically clicks when I walk in the morning, but it feels just fine. But my shoulders and spine feel like someone's been beating me with a wooden baseball bat.
The cats are also helpfully piling on me, since being weighted down by purring felines is obviously good therapy. (Actually it is, it's nice to have kitties.) I think I'm going to try taking a pain/fever reducer and dig around for ramen. Instant noodles are my go-to sick food, but I don't have much on hand right now. Pandemic panic buying sort of threw a wrench into my hurricane supply shopping. But I think I have some Japanese noodles stashed away from Jax Oriental. Sometimes they have really amazing instant noodles. That's where I found these Korean hot noodles I like that have a bomb-throwing fire-breathing chicken on the label. Yeah, they're that hot. A little hotter than what I want right now though.
I'm just kind of glad to notice that I'm hungry. If I still feel like eating, I'm not THAT sick. But we'll see how this goes.
