Life Update

So I'm fairly sure I have a mild case of Covid-19. I'm going to go ahead and journal my symptoms as best I can recall them, for posterity:

( Medical Log )

Note: I have been checking my temperature regularly (2-3 times a day) and I’ve had no sign of a fever whatsoever. I want to say my appetite’s been normal, but actually I take medication that decreases my appetite and drinking coffee decreases my appetite, so there’s no way for me to tell if the virus is impacting my appetite.

I've been self quarantining since the 2nd week of the month, although it wasn't really intentional the initial week -- I just happened to have that week off, and then my friends cancelled all our plans, so I stayed in and watched Chinese soap opersas. Work sent me an e-mail saying "we're shut down, your paychecks will be mailed" on the 14th, and that's when I for real started self-quarantining.

I'm still getting paid for all the shifts I booked through the end of April. My shifts are booked 2 months in advance, and I'm guaranteed pay for those shifts once they're booked, unless I'm the one to cancel them. After April, hopefully work can re-open, or the government figures out the whole basic income thing because this is not a job that can be done remotely.

I desperately need to do laundry, but I’m delaying the trip to the laundromat until the washable face masks I ordered arrive on Monday. I've been washing panties in the sink and getting groceries delivered.

I do have a small work-from-home film scoring gig that I've been procrastinating on, in addition to my day job.

Besides watching television (I've become utterly obsessed with The Untamed) I've been learning Mandarin on Duolingo and I've started an herb garden in my bedroom window. I have about 40% of an Untamed fanfic written, and 8 million vid ideas that will have to wait until after I finish scoring this short film.
