Day 3 / Morning: I slept pretty well last night. I took some cough medicine at 9:45 and woke up at 2:30 coughing. I took some more cough medicine and slept until 8:30! Go me! When I finally got out of bed I realized that my body was not so happy to be upright. Nor was it happy to be touched by anything at all. My muscles ache and my skin is on fire.

I have to think the muscle aches are from the coughing. I mean, I feel like it’s day 2 after I went to the gym after not being there for months and did a full body workout. How does one get that sore if not from the coughing? I mean, what is the Covid DOING IN MY BODY? It’s like it’s invading all of my cells with little knives of fire and just chopping away at me from the inside out. Once it got me REAL GOOD AND SORE, I picture it just standing over my body, lighting a match and throwing it on my skin. This is what I feel like today.

Not real great. Nope nope nope. Not great at all.
