I have been kind of sick since yesterday afternoon. That is, I have had a slight sore throat. So, I cancelled my plans for yesterday evening and today, just staying home.

Now, this bothers me since it is clearly over-sensitivity in light of the pandemic-era hysteria having left scars on my mind. Bear in mind that this "sore throat" is so mild that I probably wouldn't have even noticed, 5 years ago. I would have figured I must have maybe eaten something a little odd or maybe had choked in my sleep and woke up feeling a little rough.

Plus, since I have been sneezing for the past few weeks, I can't even rule out a mild allergy (I realized some mild allergies in August, a few years back). I don't feel feverish, I am not coughing, no runny nose, no headache, and no muscle aches.

I would like to go out tomorrow night and I think I will go ahead with that unless this starts feeling like "something". If my throat feels worse or I am actually coughing, I will minimize my adventures (although probably need a grocery run, minimally). Otherwise, I think I will just declare that this is "normal" and proceed with whatever else is "normal" for me.

Uggh, I really dislike how I can agonize over something I wouldn't even have noticed in my better years. Of course, I think that sentiment extends well beyond this situation.
