Flu.

I went to the doctor yesterday and got some meds. And I'm going to my regular doctor tomorrow, to hand her the documents from the other doctor, and... get some more meds?

It's apparently the flu, which is an uncomfortable balance of "it's not that bad" and "but it could get a lot worse so be vigilant" and "but also there's not a lot you can do". There's... not a lot I can do other than drinking tea and trying to breathe properly. And keeping an eye on my fever to make sure I don't develop any complications.

I'm not working but I pass the time by watching TV, writing fanfic, and reading shitty romance games on my phone.

I have no idea when I'll feel better, and thus no idea when I'll be able to get back to writing, but at least I'm not gainfully employed which means I'm not feeling the pressure to go back out into the rain, and I don't need a doctor's note to stay home until I'm well again.
