Infuriating amount of mucus in the various crevices of my head. Despite this the malaise and fatigue have lifted. I regret spending my only free weekend day for a while resting. Makes me feel pathetic, and aware of summer slipping by as I refuse to fully enjoy it. Hopefully in the next day or so I will be fully recovered.
I wrote all those lines hours earlier. Now I feel exhausted and strange. At work at a wedding. I fear my attempt to clear my sinuses by squirting saline solution from an oral syringe has backfired, and I know suffer from a brain eating ameoba. I was warned about this but I didn’t listen. If these entries stop suddenly in 61 days you know that I have been at last felled by an ameoba. I am equally worried I have forced rhinovirus into my sinuses, ensuring two weeks of a sinus infection incurable by antibiotics. Maybe I even just got a covid infection following the cold- my strange brain state would be explained by that idiosyncratic respiratory infection.
My friend invited me to a ‘sunday roast,’ which would be a perfect solution to my recent sense of FOMO, comorbid with my bodilly illness. I am really really ready to not be sick anymore. My cold has possibly been the worst thing to happen to anyone. It’s lucky I am as resilient as I am.
I looked it up, and naegleriasis takes about this long to progress to a serious state, and death rapidly follows.
