I went to bed at 20:30 last night, and. I slept ~13 hours, other than occasionally waking to pee, blow my nose, and take a throat lozenge for a minor sore throat. I am feeling a bit better now, but still don’t want to share, so this morning’s plan is to hide in the cottge.
I suspect it is some sort of new virus I picked up on my travels, since it presents differently than the little cold I had last week, but without a lab it isn’t possible to say.
Tania delivered me some skyr, blueberries and tea around 11:00, but otherwise the morning as been about moving photos into the blog and typing up notes about adventures.
A bit later, Keldor had gone back to sleep, and i was wondering if I wanted to, when Tania sent a note saying that a pot of vegetable soup was ready. So instead I went in for lunch and then Tania and I walked around the property a bit, looking at trees they have planted, etc.
I went back to the guest cottage for a 1.5 hr nap, starting at 14:25.
Then I got up and joined the others for a yummy meal (Tania suggested that there was no point in hiding, if it is a new virus that is the culprit, they have already been exposed, and besides, I was feeling much better).
There was music for axwhile, and we played Carcassonne. Much to my surprise, I won. I mean yah, Mike had commented mid game that I was winning, but I am used to getting fewer points than the others during the final count, but this time I got enough to kerp the lead.
