the_rckI managed to kill the sinus trouble yesterday. As usual, it required dehydration. Mid-afternoon, I started coughing and having asthma issues. Coffee helped, so did changing my posture. Oddly, sitting completely upright is worse than hunching over or lying down flat. My lungs feel fine; it's just a feeling of itchiness in my larynx.
Sleep was challenging because the cpap was irritating my throat. I dipped in and out of sleep through most of the night. Weirdly, putting light pressure on my eyes (the weight of a wadded blanket under my hand) completely suppressed the urge to cough. I just had to remain aware enough to keep my eyes covered.
I don't have any other symptoms, so I don't think I'm actually sick, but I can still feel a little tightness and itchiness in my throat, all very focused in one spot. My suspicion is that it's mostly stress.
Scott's employer has given everyone letters stating that they're essential workers. Scott is to show that to anyone who questions why he's out. He noticed, on his way home last night, that there were a lot of extra police cars out, so he's expecting that he'll need it.
I'm hoping to get back to writing today. I've got an exchange story to work on. Getting that done soon seems like a good idea even though it's not due for a few weeks.
