So, one of the things being sick does to me is it robs me of the ability to think clearly

I end up depending on others to think clearly and tell me things like "Take medicine" and "Drink water" and "It's not hot, you have a fever" and, oh yes, "Don't forget we have a pile of covid tests in the dining room".

And what's really frustrating is that I'm willing to bet that the very first symptom was not a sore throat, it was the "pulled shoulder from sleeping funny", aka "sore joints and tiredness" a week ago. I just, well, thought I'd pulled my shoulder from sleeping funny. I've been using so much muscle rub, guys!

... I hope it helped anyway? she said hopefully.

A little. I’m concerned I infected my whole family though.

Argh. I'm glad you're feeling better enough to take the medicine. That usually helps.
