Quarantine: Day 2

To be honest, I mostly slept. I woke up around 7, but fell back asleep until 12.

It was like the moment I accepted I was sick, my body let in a flood of symptoms that either it was holding back, or that I was in denial about. My throat was coated in phlegm, and I had a headache that lasted most of the day. Although I didn't have a feaver, I had a constant chill that might have just been the result of the poor heating.

Really, the only thing I'm worried about is garbage. I try to wash the extra food left over to minimize any smell, but theres stuff that I can't wash out. I also don't have any cleanign supplies (not even hand soap!) except for a spray bottle of pure isopropyl alchohol and bath soap.

I also had a food delivery around 1, which I wasn't expecting until sunday or monday. I struggled to fit everything into the fridge, but I'm glad I managed it because otherwise some of the food would have gone bad. Most of the food was fine, except for a bottle of orange juce that expired in January. Part of me wonders if it would still be good to drink, but its a dull orange/brown color with chunks sitting at the bottom. So, probably not.

Breakfast around 7: cinnamon cheerios and milk.

Lunch around 3: mac and cheese with tofu that had some sort of... barbeque sauce poured over it? I didn't really like the tofu, but the pasta wasn't half bad.

Snack: blue berry yogart that somehow tasted of alcohol.

Dinner at 7: grilled cheese reheated in a microwave- the bread turned soggy yet chewy. It was still pretty good compared to some other food I've had. There was also pasta salad with regular salad on the side.

Already I can feel the cabin fever setting in. I still don't feel comfortable opening the blinds, but I did prop the window open for a bit. I've heard from most of my teachers now, but its hard to find the motivation to respond. I still haven't heard from the one I'm the most worried about. She only gave us 3 days to be absent efore she starts taking away points from our grades, which I thought was foolish since we are still in the middle of a pandemic. I wonder how she's feeling about it now.
