the late-morning Monday worry-fest


I have a sore throat. I don’t know now whether I need to keep away from everybody, or prepare work for the fact that I might have to self-isolate for 14 days, or whether to leave it til tomorrow and see how I feel. I’m working from home today, so it’s not an immediate issue, but still…
It might be down to the fact that we sat outside all afternoon and evening. The pollen count has been high recently and even those who don’t suffer with hay fever have been affected. Plus, we had a barbecue. Plus, I also had a fire later and burned up some old hedge cuttings and small branches. So I breathed in a lot of smoke. So maybe it’s just a sore throat, but obviously my mind has spiralled into Corona Panic and I’m assuming I’m about to be flattened by Covid19. The chances are, it’s down to the fire, but I’m sure I’m not the only person in the world who has started shitting themselves because they feel a bit breathless.
Now I’ve typed all this I’ve realised how silly I’ve been. But I’ll still feel a bit uneasy, until the throat feels a wee bit better…..
