Thanks for your concern about my kitty Candace! I rly hope she is finally out of the woods. I wondered abt polyps but, it is only 1 day of my cycle that is that bad, so I am leaning towards pre menopausal confused hormones.

I have some rly shitty cold. Yesterday I did Chest and back light, today I carried soup making groceries.

I did nothing yesterday but I do not want to take away my steak badge, bc I did nothing due to a fever of 102f (and my temp is usually 1 degree below "normal" normal). Pretty sure it is actually flu bc colds don't come on this fast or w this much fever, but B or C variety bc I am not as miserable as when I had A variety a few years ago. BUT, fever broke in the night, and now I am actually coughing. So I think I am on the mend? Not working today bc I want to wait 24 hrs from fever breaking to not be contagious. Going to cautiously get some things done around the apt and get ahold of some cough meds so that I can hopefully go back to work tomorrow as long as fever doesn't return, and consider my steak paused. I want to take something for my headache but I don't want to take anything that would lower a fever in case it is back bc I want to know if it is...so I will look for some sinus pressure meds that don't contain painkillers, if such exist in my neighborhood pharmacy bc I am not going far >.>

Ugh. I really hate fevers. I hope you're flu recovery is quick.

**sleep_twitch** · October 24, 2019, 06:55 AM

Ugh, stupid flu viruses

Probably a good idea to stay at home and not infect others. The only good thing about the flu is that it usually goes away completely after a few days and doesn't linger for weeks like a cold.

Feel better soon!

Putting an asterisk by my streak since I paused, not started over, w fever

Thanks CODawn and sleep_twitch

I am indeed heading to work today, altho telling self I can go early if needed. No more fever, can control cough w syrup so I don't hack on anyone and get them sick.

Did Anywhere Abs, Tendon Plus, and Power Squat to check how I was this morning

Thanks Amirsh

Still mehish. But flight is tonight and work is half way to the airport anyway. So my exercise today is hauling trusty duffle up and down subway stairs, + stretching.

Thanks CODawn and Cabriel

I am 90% better, just some lingering cough.

2 days where I am counting stretches, lifting 20lb cat (Ozzycat sits ON me and he rly does that to no one else idkwhy), and brisk walks.

Then today I went to the gym w my cousin. She is the only seriously sporty one in my generation- is a crazy dedicated cyclist (and actually randomly did some cyclocross race yesterday bc she had a surprise day off on no food, not enough sleep, and wrong tyres on bike lol) and has always been a gym goer etc. So even tho I used some lighter weights I am pretty happy that I did her workout today. I will be sore tomorrow >.> Her gym has a bodybuilding focus (the trainer who runs it is a serious competitor) so the type of rep ranges and a few of the lifts were new to me (20 deadlifts what? 40 shoulder presses in a w extension range?) but it was still a nice full body workout.

Also learned 2 new to me card games this week. Casino (which I think is my new absolute favorite) and Cribbage....which I might like better if we had pegboard instead of paper but actually idk if I will go out of my way to play ever again lol.
