I haven't worked out since Friday. Saturday I did housework. Sunday I think I came down with a mild case of the flu. I had body aches and slight chills, and was fatigued. Monday I felt a lot better, but was still run down. I feel even better today, but am feeling slightly hot. At my last well checkup in February, I told my doctor about my cold in January. She said that feeling hot was my immune system fighting the virus. Anyway, I decided it was best not to work out until tomorrow. I'm going to stick to Jessica workouts, I seem to injure myself every time I try something else.
I think it was just the regular flu, but who knows. I didn't have a cough or shortness of breath. I do get tickles in my throat from allergies, but not a chest cough. Although, Saturday evening I did experience a shortness of breath, which alarmed me at the time, since that is a symptom of the virus. However, it was just once and brief, and I didn't have a fever on Saturday. It was weird though, I never have shortness of breath. But I wonder if it was related to the beginnings of coming down with the flu. I suppose the regular flu could do that too. OTH, I've heard that the virus can start out mild, then get more severe the second week. Crossing my fingers that doesn't happen.
Of course, getting sick stressed me out. I tried to relax, telling myself that stress would make it worse, but you know how that goes! Strange times we are living in.
Arizona just issued a stay at home order, starting today. Dh's job is considered essential, as is dd's. Our governor said he wouldn't call it a shelter in place order, because it isn't war time. Not sure it matters really. He didn't want to do it, but eight City mayors, including Phoenix, pressured him.
Donna, I'm glad you get to work from home now. Maybe this will spur your office to using less paper. I''m glad you have found a workout system that works for you. On a side note, I tried the Clear Zinc sunscreens by Walgreens, both fragrance free in the green and purple tubes. Dr. Dray recommended the Sensitive Skin one in the purple tube. Both of them caused me to have an allergic reaction, a rash and itching. Go figure! I guess it must be some ingredient in both of them. I'll have to google it.
