So, I’ve been sick lately. It’s one unknown variable I’m never quite sure how to deal with–I generally avoid medicines for various reasons, but despite my intention not to let it interfere, it always manages to anyway. Somewhere between not wanting to infect the population and not wanting to deal with the malaise and the headache and the fever while also dealing with being in public, I find myself largely unable to do all of those things I’d been planning on.

All of this to say ‘I’m sick, I have been sleeping forever, etc.’ It really bothers me that the best words I can use to describe it are ‘general malaise’ and ‘generic sick-feeling.’ But that’s the best there is: it feels generally unpleasant and tiring, and focusing on dull, mindless tasks is best.

Fortunately I seem to be getting better.
