I think I'm calling it another early night, and not trying to do any writing or work on my NaMo project.
I'm afraid I can't keep pretending the sinus stuff is *just* the pressure change/weather. :( Throughout the last half of my workday, I started getting a worsening sore throat. It's still not awful, but certainly noticeable. It's the hot/burning kind of sore, rather than the deep, swollen achey kind, which is... good? I guess?
No fever, though I had some body aches. Those maybe can be chalked up to the weather.
Yuck. I'm weighing my options for work. Without a fever, and no other truly Covid-specific symptoms, they won't want me to call out. If I do, I may be required to get a Covid test before I can return to work, which means I'll be out for an unknown number of days while I wait for a result. (Assuming a negative test.) And then I'll feel like I have "that one time I called in sick" hanging over my head for months.
I know that I'm not so sick that I can't "tough it out", but also absolutely HATE that, and how fucking irresponsible that is in the middle of a pandemic that no one is taking seriously anymore. I don't want to be part of that problem, but I also can't risk my job.
