I called out of work entirely today, I really should have called out yesterday but I wasn't gonna make that mistake twice in a row. I think I'm feeling better today but I'm definitely still sick and I really think taking the day off helped a lot with that. Most of my symptoms are gone but my nose is still very runny and if I let mucus get down my throat (which I think is happening every time I lay down so going to sleep is gonna be fun) then I get really bad coughing fits. And even without that my cough is still bad, but I don't get uncontrollable fits.

I did play some more RRT, I actually managed to just finish the main story. My playtime was about what I expected, almost 10 and a half hours. The game is much shorter and simpler than the Explorers games, which I honestly think is to their benefit. I kinda wanna return to Explorers of Sky at some point but I feel like the pacing of the originals might just be better than the pacing of the Explorers games. Especially the postgame, which is especially egregious with Explorers as the game basically lies to you about when the main plot ends! Also just thinking back on the Explorers games I think I might just not like the Wigglytuff Guild, but I feel like I would have to replay the EoS to confirm those feelings.
