The BRAND NEW, refreshed and welcoming... covid thread! Yay!

So I started coughing powerfully hard on friday afternoon. Passed my last meal back into the environment. Kept coughing saturday, and only managed to keep about half my meals. It's a weird sensation: feeling your stomach being empty... but not being hungry. I tested myself sunday morning, I should have done it sooner cause I had the thought saturday night.

Ruined thanksgiving, my parents wound up cancelling their vacation cause mom is about 1 day behind me. Thankfully, they didn't lose the entire deposit. I'm not feeling great right now, but better than the rest of the weekend; still kinda fucked up though; when I took my shower this morning, I tried to take off my glasses. I got lazik just before the pandemic was declared in canada.

This is just me tired, ranting and restless. Wash your ******* hands, if you need to; wear a mask in public. This still ******* sucks and I wouldn't wish it on anyone.

The worst part of all this is how fast I'm dredging the barrel on youtube. How is it only a quarter to five? I feel like I've been awake for two days!

I'm sorry, that sucks. Hope you feel better soon.

It is still a thing, isn't it? Except now, at least in America, there's no more subsidies or any sympathy. No, its use your sick leave or show up while wearing a mask. Sad.

I only had tests to use because we got one of the last batches of free ones, and they had technically expired. But we're knowledgeable enough to understand the "best by" date on it for is for resale purposes and medication and such is good for months or years after the fact if properly stored.

Welp, this is absolutely miserable. If we've got the latest varient (and no reason to believe it or not.) then you're sick between 5-7 days, with the possibility of of feeling ill for up to a month.

Considering this has already gone on for twice as long as my last bout (where I had 1 really bad day, sandwiched by "not good" days.) was on the mend by the fourth day and showing positive on the tests for a lot longer than I had symptoms.

Gonna test again tomorrow night. See what it says.

Just took the test: I'm clean. And other than just being exhausted; I actually don't feel bad today. So... small favours. Thanks for the kind thoughts folks, I appreciate it.
