This doesn't bode well.

Getting sick the day before starting a new job is better than getting sick the day of starting a new job, but not by much.

I'm doing what I can to take it easy and not be too hard on myself for what I know I should and shouldn't be doing to speed up the recovery phase. Pushing fluids, of course, and not being too disappointed over not going to the gym. Much as I'd like to, I know I wouldn't serve myself with hard physical effort right now. And I'd had such hopes for a good session today, too. I'll have to settle for just taking a walk to get rid of some restlessness. Cooking, too. After another couple of pots of tea, of course.
