I still don't know whether this is some other virus or the 'rona. I'll retest this evening with a different brand of rapid antigen test. For now, I'll just think of it as Ghost Covid; better safe than sorry.
Consolations:
I'm not trying to teach right now. That would SUCK.
The list of things I need to do in-person on campus is not extensive.
There aren't very many people around on campus right now anyway. Like, I might see a total of 2 people here today.
Frustrations:
Using my laptop to Remote Desktop to stuff on my work computer is cumbersome, and that plus the heat and humidity at home plus any hint of fuzzy thinking makes it near impossible to get any manuscript-writing done when at home. Ugh.
The high heat and building closures this week really disrupted my workflow already, too.
I had all kinds of Plans lined up that now have to be changed. Argh!
If I felt Really Sick it would be a lot easier to allow myself to just take a break from things. Instead, I'm reminded of what it was like that summer when I had mono, where it took a really long time to claw myself back out. I had a really frustrating meeting with my PhD advisor at a time when I was mostly better but my advisor determined that I was apparently still not able to think coherently (an ongoing theme, really; at this point I just have to assume I'm kind of incapable of thinking coherently and use whatever heuristics or coping mechanisms I can come up with instead).
