Yesterday I was falling asleep in the waiting room. Came home completely exhausted and slept. The glands are really swollen in my neck and under my arm so either I’m sick or have a quietly simmering infection.

In the (daylight) morning I’m just going to shove everything into the other room and do a quick sweep. Crack the door for some fresh air, put dishes to soak in hot soapy water, change bedding. Clean litterboxes.
