Not quite rising from the dead...
Dec. 3rd, 2023 11:54 am...but I've had a look over the edge of the ditch.
Catching Covid is not advised! Sometime last night my sore throat has eased, which is about time. Mayo Clinic advice had it that average was to have this for two/three days and five was possible. I've definitely gone to five. Not sure if I should count Tuesday, when I was aware of it but not needing medication. Fun fact: you can apparently have Covid with a sore throat as your only symptom. Haven't been able to think about much else for awhile and I'm still really fuzzed/headachy and feel like all my blood went somewhere else.
This is with the two mandatory vaccinations and a booster. It rather rewrites the "rules" which are that if you get a vac, you don't catch the thing! Certainly the case with the flu, but seems this plague is a bit more determined. I know I should've got more boosters. Got sidetracked by the pharmacy saying you couldn't book in person when I went in there, and then forgetting.
I figure I'm going to stay home a few more days, sorry gulag, but at least they already know so I don't have to do any more contacting. Enough supplies for the moment even with forgetting stuff because brain not working. When I'm able to watch anything, I'm bingeing on the rest of the Indiana Jones movies. Except Temple of Doom; I'm not interested enough to bother with that one.
I was struck with some of the rat-related scenes. There's one where the Ark is burning away the swastika stamped on the box it's in, and a rat, supposedly affected by the power, is twisting around in front of it, apparently unable to straighten itself. That's not training. That rat either has an ear infection or a pituitary tumour, that causes this behaviour. And then in Last Crusade Indy and Ilsa are wading in a sea of rats in a cave and they're making weird squeaking/clicking sounds more like cricket noises! It was hilarious. All you'd hear in real life would be the occasional protest squeak if someone got stood on/bitten.
I'm now mustering the strength to bring in my laundry and then I may crawl back to bed!
