shake

this morning is no good, the chest is sore, a deep breath causes a cough, occasional sneezes are a shock to the system, removing sight for a second.
Go to the bathroom, start to freeze and to feel cold. Finish there, and go back to the bedroom. The soles of the feet have taken the cold from the tiles, and they seem to keep it. Sit down at the desk to read the news, and in the middle of the latest news of things in the world, a sudden shivering runs through the body, the tinnitus is a loud whistle now, the feet are colder.

Back to bed, huddle under both blankets and shiver, the feet will not warm, the chest hurts, a sneeze errupts, curl up small and shiver.

It would have been sensible to wear a hat in the rain yesterday, and not to let the head get wet.

And now to remain in bed, look at the small statue of a knight on the console by the bed.
