Mostly health complaints

Not yet really hot but the kind of humid warmth that is death on the body. Woke aching and wondering if this was covid, or just my shoulders and neck hating the world. Got down to the xray/ lab place which I should have known would be crowded in late morning. The nurse said it would be less so in mid-afternoon, but then took me round the corner to an almost empty corridor. Which might have been for access to the xray room (no appointment required, unlike the other services offered) or might have been pity for my crippled state. Anyway, was through in a quarter of an hour, done and dusted.

Cabbed back to the library for a hold and walked over to the banh mi place on Christie for a takeout vermacelli lunch, feeling less than wonderful in the breathless mug. But when I started back up towards home, my hiatus hernia had one of its 'Imma pretend to be a heart attack' moments. I mean pain up the right side is not a symptom even for women, but pain going into the jaw is. I trudged on and when I finally got home had a glass of milk, whereupon all symptoms vanished. But these kind of shenanigns mean I can't use my codeine cough syrup for the newly returned strangle cough that has been plaguing me these last few days. Shouldn't even be using cough drops. Touchy innards are touchy.

Did very little the rest of the day besides sit in front of the fan, which is actually too powerful for comfort. Pharmacy emailed me to book a second booster but the app doesn't work. I seem to recall having similar problems with th first one as well. Did at least mend the two leaking bean bags that have scattered their contents onto my white sheets for the last few weeks. I fingered the wrong culprit for that, if only because I've never had a Magic Bag that leaked, and rebagged a perfectly innocent rice bag.
