So first item of interest: MORE COLDPLAY TICKETS! Got up early to treadmill so I could run over to my compy as soon as the queue option became available. Got tickets for the newly-created Saturday show, which will be a lot easier for us to get to than the Friday one. Now all I have to do is sell the Friday tickets and we’re good.

The second item of interest: while waiting for and purchasing said Coldplay tickets, I started to feel a little crappy. Nothing too bad – just some shivers and some general blah. I thought I was just excited for Coldplay, and when I said this to Nate he joked that maybe I was feeling bad because we’d run the humidifier overnight and, given our poor track record of keeping it clean, maybe it was infested with whatever bacteria/mold that made us sick the last two times.

But no way, right? Surely we had been taking better care of the humidifier after TWO incidents of the same sickness from previous gross tanks. Plus, this time we hadn’t let the water sit in it for an entire summer. So there was no chance there was another crop of bacteria in there, right?

RIGHT????

I go to school and feel like absolute ass all day (and ended up puking with a mask on, that’s a fun experience). Then I get home and Nate tells me that he was also feeling the same sickness he’d felt the last times we’d screwed up the humidifier. His was delayed because he’d been in the bedroom/back room all day, whereas I’d slept in and exercised in the same room as the humidifier.

So yeah. We did it again.

TIME

What the hell is wrong with us?

I think I’m going to start calling the humidifier-induced sickness “Fauxvid,” since the symptoms are so similar to COVID.

We’re responsible adults, we are.
