Under the weather
Nov. 8th, 2021 06:38 pmYesterday evening, T commented that I seemed to have been coughing a lot, and I realised that I did seem to have a slight tickly cough. Shortly after, I started feeling distinctly not-quite-well, though not really any particular kind of not-well. I'd done a lateral flow test a few hours earlier, which was negative, but I thought it would probably be better to think about working from home today rather than risking taking germs into the office where I have staff who are vulnerable, or who live with vulnerable people.
This morning I woke up still with a tickly cough and a tightness in my chest, and thought that as well as working from home I should probably book a PCR test. I toddled off to the local testing centre at 8am, got home and started working from home half an hour later, and by quarter to ten had decided that actually, I might be better off just going back to bed. Which I did, and stayed there until one o'clock when I got up, had some lunch and logged on to this afternoon's committee meeting.
I am still feeling off-colour but not terrible. No idea if this is mild breakthrough COVID (I can still smell and taste things, though I'm not sure they smell and taste quite the same as normal, but I may be imagining that) or one of the other bugs that are happily circulating now people are mixing with each other again; I'll be working from home tomorrow anyway, as I don't expect I'll get the PCR result in time to get into the office, and having encouraged my team to work remotely rather than bringing their germs to work I should probably do the same thing even though I much prefer being in the office.
