Back to Earth Again

As I've mentioned, an annoying side effect of Ozempic has been a persistent runny nose. This appears to possibly been a conduit for me to pick up a sinus infection, which I can feel starting to move down into my chest. I don't think it's more than a cold, given that I'm fully immunized against just about everything. It's likely that I've spent too much time out in public without a mask.

I woke up this morning with a splitting sinus headache and called in sick and went back to bed. Sleeping five or six extra hours helped, but I am still not feeling well. I had a number of errands that needed to be done locally today (returning things that arrived between Christmas and New Year's Day), but I was fully masked up in an N95 mask at all times. I have no desire to infect other people with anything that I might have.

This is the first likely infectious illness I've had since 2019. Before the pandemic, I used to get colds several times per year.
