I woke up with a teeny-tiny feeling of soreness in my throat. Just a smidge, no more. Barely there

Whether what I have is a common cold or coronavirus or some other virus, I’m curious how I can have contracted it. I’ve barely been out among people recently, and always at a distance. Perhaps Adrian brought it home from school – I’m sure the kids at school don’t manage to keep a distance between them at all times.

So I isolate myself even further. No more grocery shopping. No more cuddling with the family. I ate my dinner separately, and I hung up a separate hand towel for myself.

The only other symptom apart from the sore throat is that I’ve been feeling slightly chilly all day. (Which could, of course, be due to the 15°C drop in the temperature outside. We even had sleet this morning.) Hence today’s photo, of my fluffiest, woolliest warm skirt.
