I visited a buddy on Sunday, helping with the settings on his 3d printer that we modified together

He tells me on monday he is not going to work cause he got a high fever

I feel my throat a little but an occasional cough is not that weird

The next morning I’m fucked and fucked over. It’s like all my nerve endings are firing as if there is pain, muscle aches but also serious brain aches, my jaw, my teeth, inside my teeth, inside my brain, my neck

The internet says; no cure, wait it out, up to max 10 days

And I could have sworn paracetamol used to be 4x 2 tablets a day, is now max 6 per day total.

meanwhile the builders want to install the city/water heating, but they’re not coming cause the neighbours are not also home, so I wait and wait, till I finally get back into bed

Wait, comma, pause.

I sleep another 9 hours, in between I have some little foods, and more paracetamol, and just sleep, or try to.

then some tv watching in the middle of the night, now, the next morning, my multiple aches seem gone but my throat hurts real bad. And I’m so tired, pffff

Put on some thermo underwear, but still a little cold, brrrr

Which reminds me of:

47.4 Repression. The constraints of external oppression.
Exalted: The strength of identity that even in times of the most powerful oppression can maintain its resources and to some extent ensure their survival for the benefit of others. A sense of identity that can be maintained despite external conditioning.
Detriment: When robbed of its light, the Moon is lost in darkness; barely able to nourish itself, let alone others. The identity overwhelmed by external conditioning.
