Sick day [status]

I had a very mild cough yesterday, which developed into a moderate cough overnight, so when it was time to get up this morning, I canceled plans for a boathouse work party and then pivoted my two classes for the day to online formats so I could stay home, rest, and hopefully reduce exposure for others.

A morning Covid test came back negative.

I think I've been fighting something off for a little while now. Beginning on Friday or so, I had some noticeable cognitive lapses - things like not quite keeping letters or numbers straight, for instance. I will say that I greatly prefer self-awareness of these sorts of cognitive lapses over obliviousness to them. But I also hope that, with some rest, things improve.

I could also certainly attribute at least some of the cognitive lapses to it being that time of the semester, anyway.
