2022-05-18 Sick Day

Night

This time it isn’t boat work but home-office work for the day. But it wasn’t a good night for me. The swelling seems to come back when I lie down and go away when I stand. And since I no longer have the ability to sleep while standing (on the train, holding on to the overhead strap or nodding off while sitting) that meant I didn’t get sufficient sleep. Add to that the anxiety of not knowing if things would get better meant that I’m a bit grumpy today.

Morning

I don’t think I’ll be doing much work on the boat today as it is time to catch up on home-office remote work. I didn’t get very far into my work before I realized that I was feeling bad and not in prime condition to do any sort of work that involved thinking.

Afternoon & Evening

I tried to nap, but even that wasn’t too successful as the inflammation was most noticeable when lying down. I did a quick run to the beach to take a swim, but that didn’t make me feel any better. Towards nightfall I went ashore to join the Wednesday Pub Quiz Night but that wasn’t successful, either.  I returned to Zanshin and tried to sleep.
