January 17, 2024, Wednesday night, 6:55pm, pacific standard time, hotel room in Bakersfield,California,USA. I have been feeling under the weather the last couple of days. Mostly a severe runny nose and a dry cough. It feels like extreme allergies more than illness, but it is annoying nonetheless. I went to the Bakersfield office today. Things went alright until the medicine I took this morning wore off. Then my nose began running profusely. I left early and came back to the hotel because it was uncomfortable, for me and everyone else. I was planning to visit Palm Desert this week but might postpone. I don’t want to be there if the symptoms persist.
