I think you've got what I got over the weekend. 2 days of chills/fever (fairly severe) then nose & eyes running like Cathy Freeman but no sore throat (??). And coughing up silly putty. And a re-appearing of past cold sores. It seems to be going around.
Chubbyemu is a bit of a genius - clever storytelling of serious problems done properly and scientifically. That's rare on YT.
Ugh no bueno! I hope it passes soon, I just want to sleep but I have things to do lol. Interestingly, no phlegm or silly putty, my sinuses are barely affected. But all my glands hurt, and my muscles were super sore and achey.
Whinge whine rant wehhh
Love Chubbyemu, if you like him you'll prolly like Phy the Neutrophil tbh
Yet.
