I put my hand on the back of my neck and my fingers are freezing. Slight head daze, headache. The feeling like my legs, wrists and shoulders need to stretch. They need two stretch but no amount of stretching really helps. So I mostly lay still. I’m sure I have a slight fever.

I have not felt like this in a long time.

For me there is a familiarity; almost a comfort to the creeping-in of illness. Maybe I had too many fevers as a kid? Maybe I enjoy an excuse for downtime? Who knows? But I will try to approach this oncoming viral assault with restfulness. Also glad it’s not COVID.
