Achy Breaky

My neck is still feeling kind of stiff, but my headache and dizziness has gone away. My German teacher arranged for me to get a refund for the lesson, which was nice. I think that I can do Italian today.

I spoke too soon. I'm feeling achy all over and want to go back to sleep. I don't think that I have a fever though. I just told my Italian teacher that I need to skip the lesson. He said, "No problem." I think that it's only the second time that I've missed a scheduled Italian lesson in over a year. I need to get cat food but could wait until tomorrow. Maybe I'll just have a quiet day at home.

On the good news front, the snow is melting. It's supposed to be warm over the next couple of days.

Forgot to mention that I received one of my books on Berlin, and I've been flipping through it. It seems like a fascinating city. I found two Airbnbs that sound promising: one in Mitte and one in Schöneberg. I also found some hotels in Berlin that are fairly cheap and with good reviews. I also found two Airbnb places in Munich and some hotel rooms. Oh! I just found some books on Munich. I'll get them after my next paycheck.

Slept until 3:30 PM. I was confused when I woke up, thinking that it was Monday, and I had overslept work. No. My neck still hurts, but the rest of me feels okay. Now my neck feels better. Sleep must have helped.

Ate. Now I'm trying to figure out what to do. First the nighttime chores that I didn't do last night I think. Done and got the garbage ready to go out. Threw on a sweatshirt and jeans and got the garbage out, including a ton of boxes because I'm having stuff shipped to me.

I have to keep reminding myself that I shouldn't wait to be motivated to do stuff because it won't happen. Got the mail. The IRS (federal tax board) gave me a heart attack by sending me a letter, which turned out to be a reminder that I got a stimulus payment last year. I also got my free rapid COVID tests. What are you supposed to do with only two of them? Though I suppose that I could see if the crud that I'm fighting is not COVID.

I have a bit of a sinus headache, so I'm thinking of going back to bed. Maybe I'll feel better tomorrow.
