. . .or is it the other way around? I can never remember.
In any case, I’m still sick, and getting mightily bored, when I’m not wanting to lie down for a nap, which is often.

Sounds like you are already undertaking most of my cold/flu treatment: Sleep, long soak in hot bath, anesthetic involving some combination of hot lemon and rum, and most importantly, stay away from people who piss you off. Other than that, all I can offer is best wishes for a speedy recovery.
That article matches a good book I read recently called “Scarcity”. They talk about how lack of ‘slack’ in the budget is what causes major issues — for all kinds of ‘budgets’ too, money, time etc.
