Recovery

Felt much better this morning. My head was still congested, but it no longer felt like Micky Dolenz was playing "Randy Scouse Git" in it. My neck was still a bit achy and my throat was still dry, though. I spent the morning reading Monkees fanfiction (the Birds, Bees set has gotten me thinking Monkees again) and sipping water from a thermos I keep for long trips.

Since I was feeling better, I did go to work. I wasn't coughing or sneezing anymore, just a little sore. Besides, the Acme has kept tissues and hand sanitizer at all registers for over a year, ever since the fussing over the swine flu last year.

I also figured that it wouldn't really be busy anyway, and I was right. We were almost exactly the same as Tuesday; steady enough that the time went fast, but not anywhere close to overwhelming. I was in and out with no problems.

Riding the bike wasn't a problem, either. It was surprisingly warm when I came out, probably in the lower 40s, and everything was melting. It wasn't even really icy when I got out. I was still careful riding home, though, especially on the still-ice-clogged Black Horse Pike.
