It did affect me. Not in any major way, but just enough to make me feel unusual. I lay awake with my eyes closed, in the dark, shivering under my duvet.
It’s weird - like having the flu but not quite having it; an illness without the symptoms: I’ve felt weak, insipid on the inside, but no cough, no dry throat, no dodgy stomach. I’m absolutely fine but also... not feeling too well.
Thankfully, it’ll pass by. It’s just side effects while my body learns how to fight off the infection. I’d still rather have a day of this than a day on a ventilator. Or worse, watching someone I love on a ventilator.
The sun came up, painting long tree-shadows over the green grass. I could see it through the gap in my curtains, if I shuffled up. It was still early, the sky a fresh empty blue. I was still a little shivery but at least my eyes were open now. By all accounts it would be a beautiful day. Hopefully this’ll all wear off soon.
