And for some reason it feels like it would be really stupid to get non-covid pneumonia during the covid outbreak. WTF, brain?

speaking of flu update
All the aches and chills and fatigue and have subsided, the fever’s retreated so that it’s only part of the day and only within a degree of normal…but I’ve developed an intermittently nasty cough. Hoping it’s just cleaning up after the flu and not a secondary infection, because I really don’t need that right now. I’m safer *not* going into a doctor’s office if I can avoid it.

Not that I wouldn’t be WFH today anyway, but my original plan was to go in briefly once I was finally over the damn flu & pick up some equipment for my WFH setup that’s better than just plopping the laptop at the kitchen table. Fortunately I’ve got enough spare peripherals that I’ve got something that’ll work better long-term.

Flu/silly
Preoccupied so much with tracking my fever (and hoping it’ll finally *stay* down) that I glanced at the clock, saw 1001 and thought, “Dammit!”

Bionic eye implant that can restore partial vision for patients with retinal neurodegenerative diseases. As long as the optic nerve remains undamaged, an electrode array is hooked up to the retina’s neurons and receives data from an eyeglass-mounted camera. It’s not a high-res image, but seeing outlines and boundaries makes a big difference.

When I said I figured it was a matter of time, I didn’t think it would be the next day:
That said, my symptoms are pointing to probably the flu. Fever peaked at 101 last night & has been fluctuating all day. Mostly chills, aches & fatigue otherwise.
Still staying home.

I’ve developed a 100.4-degree fever this evening. More likely to be a cold or flu than covid19 at this point (AFAIK there’ve been no signs of community spread in the Los Angeles area yet, though I’m sure it’s only a matter of time) – but definitely going to be staying home for a while. And calling a doctor if the fever persists.

Me: (picking up something I couldn’t identify) I wonder what this is.
9YO: (in another part of the room, vaguely sing-song-y) Tape, tape.
Me: No, I don’t think so.
9YO: Tape, tape.
Me: Oh, you’re *looking* for tape. (gets up to help look, then looks over at what he’s doing.)
9YO: Tape, tape.
Me: Oh, I see, you’re attaching electrodes to Pikachu.
