#Vaccination on the first day

[puppyeared]

man

#maybe im being pessimistic abt this. im not saying u should wear a mask every waking moment of your life god knows i cant #but also. hell no i dont trust u if anything i distrust u ppl even more after how things played out for the past 3 years #like there are situations where it might be inevitable catching covid. most of my family members are nurses and in constant contact #but there are also a ton of ways to make that risk low as possible like masking and wearing a face shield and having sanitizer #for me its not enough to just say oh we're in a small group and we're all vaccinated #motherfucker your kid is sick from preschool EVERY TIME WE VISIT. of course ill be wearing a mask she gave me covid last year #also no the fuck it isnt seasonal the cases go up because lack of caution makes the virus spread and mutate especially around times when #ppl gather. add that with virus transmission in cold weather and its a matter of different factors increasing the risk of spread #im also tired of ppl not understanding that i wont be their responsibility if i do get sick. maybe they can help me recover #but at the end of the day the risk of death and long term health is all on me. i cant change that #the govt barely gives me accommodations what makes u think theyll do anything for every individual case of long covid or worse #im so tired. im so tired #i dont even know if its possible to want this to be over anymore i just wish we didnt have to deal with this in the first place #ALSO COUGH INTO YOUR SLEEVE SERIOUSLY HOW IS THIS SO HARD TO REMEMBER #oh its just a cold/dry throat its not like i have covid or anything. no!! its basic hygiene!!! how is this so hard to understand!!!!!!!!!! #and no this isnt abt whether people have the means to protect themselves this is me bitching abt my relatives not taking me seriously #vent #my art #myart #doodles #covid 19

gonna go get the new covid booster tomorrow ya girls gonna feel like SHIT

#stupid rant is stupid #yeehaw #i mean like hopefully i wont feel like shit for too long #we'll see lmfao ugh #better do my chores and cleaning today and tomorrow before i crash #also for my new people #i am a case where my body had decided to make me feel like covid when i get the shots #like the second shot of the first wave of vaccines put me down 5 days lol #that time has since reduced but its been a year since my last booster #so #mmmm #trepidation lol #but i would much rather feel like shit for a few days than make my current problems worse with getting sick or long covid

Last 24 hours over here have been a nightmare. Zorah met the Roomba for the first time. I usually wait to run Roombert until she’s asleep in her bed. Unfortunately she woke up in the middle of his cleaning session and I presume was so scared she had a little diarrhea on the floor. I did not notice this in time and Roombert had to be completely taken apart for deep cleaning.

Then I noticed last night that Zorah was stumbling even more than usual, and not in the usual “my hips and feet hurt” way. I was concerned maybe her blood pressure was getting too low with the medication we are using so I brought her to the clinic today. Blood pressure is normal, but we’re going to try lowering the dose of pain meds she’s on.

Then right before bed Duncan had a bellyache apparently because he projectile vomited (I measured, it flew 14 inches). I was a little concerned but figured I’d just wait and see if it was a one off thing. Got home from work just now and he apparently did that 2 more times while I was at work this morning 😟

Now the good news for Petunia is that she gets to wait a little longer for her vet visit so that I can bring Duncan in this afternoon.

#petunia is due for vaccines but also she is so so matted #so we’ll sedate her and do vaccines bloodwork nail trim and brush her out #my post #Zorah #Duncan #petunia #Merrill… Arthur…. please hold it together for a few more days #if you guys wanna get diarrhea or vomiting that’s fine but just let me get Duncan under wraps first

FINALLY GOT MY FUCKIN COVID VAX 🥳

#the new one i mean. i've been very vaccinated since the first vaccines came out #had pharmacies cancel our appointments on the day-of MULTIPLE TIMES.... #i'm eager to see whether i'll have any side effects this time #i never have before but this is the first vax i've gotten with an immune system that actually works #autoimmune tag

[wrenhavenriver]

i have lies of p and ff 16 installed and ready to go so i can do something mildly enjoyable my last few days before the school/work death spiral starts up again and instead i'm just sitting here refreshing Webbed Sites and watching nothing interesting appear like

#quite predictably i did in fact get sick at the 3 day long work training held during a massive covid/flu surge #i was masked except for meal/photo times and am up to date on vaccinations tho so thankfully it's just a mild cold #but i'm just sort of tired and unable to focus on anything #honestly tho they could have easily done all those presentations over Teams and been done a lot earlier :/ #the weather was really bad the first couple of days too and i know a lot of commuters would have really appreciated doing it virtually #but i guess that wouldn't have let us do all our ~fun~ icebreaker and ~team building activities~! #idk Employer Mandated Socializing and Fun Times just inherently irritate me on a cellular level #tell me how you want a job done and then let me go do it #having us write a group poem about our department for arbitrary points accomplishes literally nothing but wasting all our time #kathryn vs higher education #assorted work nonsense

Cody aced his first doggo meeting with the behaviourist’s dog! And his second doggo meeting with a random huge lovely Staffie called Odin who was built like a sack of cement. And his third and forth doggo meeting with a wee Staffie and slightly harrumphy French Bulldog. First trip to the park was officially a success!

And now he’s slept for about four hours so far, in his crate with the fan on, with his sore leggies stretched out in the air like so

#rescue pup #*pops ‘he’s not aggressive’ streamers* #was a little shouty in his excitement at first #but then chilled out massively #and has the go-ahead for puppy class! #(yeah the meeting was supposed to happen last week) #(but her dog got overwhelmed the day before) #(so she decided it best to give her girl the day off) #(and this meant he’d be vaccinated enough to do it in the park)

This certainly explains some recent shit...

#lmao #like 2021 all over again #caught covid the first time a week right before the vaccine rolled out and i was pissed #almost killed me too! that was a strange limbo to be in #to this day garlic and coffee taste the same they swap with each other sometimes #third times the charm i guess catching this bitch #I'm vaccinated so hopefully this won't be a bumpy ride #but this explains so. much. shit. #im used to my fibro flares being miserable but these aches and chest pains felt foreign #this is right up there with the anxiety I'd get over a pregnancy test if i wasn't fixed #2024 is testing me already

day of the dead (1985) might be my new favorite horror movie

#might slightly beat out the thing (1982) #great writing acting practical effects and it's actually pretty scary! #nobody does zombies like romero im telling you #i neeeeed to watch the original dawn of the dead #i've seen night of the living dead i've seen day of the dead and i've seen the dawn of the dead remake #which was actually pretty good even though im not a big snyder fan #night of the living dead is one of the movies that made me deathly afraid of zombies as a kid #and i only watched the first 5 minutes akdhkdh #i've seen the whole thing now of course #they're zombie movies where the real bad guy always ends up being power-tripping militarized assholes #day of the dead being that case the most #spoilers >>>> #every other zombie movie totally gives up on the zombies outside of a medical cure or vaccine #day of the dead explicitly goes no. they can be redeemed. they can be retaught. they can remember. #the only reason it all gets fucked up is because of that MOTHERFUCKER #oh but he gets his. it's too late but he gets his #never thought a zombie shooting a guy with a gun would be the most satisfying cinematic climax ever but guess what. #it was #and then that fucker gets torn apart while he's still alive and it's looks so fucking cool because the practical effects in that movie rule #oh man and the ENDING. im still thinking about the ending #it's so.... it's so abrupt and jarring and contradictory that you can't help but question it #it feels almost... delusional? in denial? #they're running to the copter and there's a wave of zombies and it's hard to tell if they can make it there fast enough #they're getting in and at the last second the girl gets grabbed #but hardly before you can even process that... #snap cut. the three of them are on a beach. no zombies in sight. she marks off a date on a homemade calendar #it feels impossibly idealic... like the movie can't bear to give you an unhappy ending so instead it lies #it's not impossible they made it out. they could've gotten the zombie off her and made it out #but the way it's structured makes it so ambiguous

trying hard to avoid the kitten this week cause i have to be off my allergy meds until thursday

#to reap the rewards (immunization therapy) one must face the Trials #(five days in a house with a cat without allergy meds and two hours of testing on wednesday) #i'm gonna treat myself afterwards though i found a really nice looking teahouse that looks like it does gong fu style tea service #and they have dim sum style snacks and a bento type lunch set to go with #which sounds like so much fun. and the perfect reward for sitting through being Poked and Stabbed and Itchy for two hours #(and then. very soon. hopefully. IMMUNIZATION SHOTS <3 <3 <3) #never before have i ever been this excited for shots lol. not even for my first covid vaccine #maybe that's kind of weird idk but i'm just so ready to not have allergies anymore #or have to take four different meds to manage them #i wanna talk about me

Yesterday someone commented on my longest fanfic and biggest flop. It has been out for little more than a year, is 50k multi-chapter focused on a rarepair written in a manner that most shippers probably wouldn’t like and has like 150 views out of which I know at least 43 are from an irl friend. They said they liked it. I started sweating, then I got anxiety, then I started to cry, and then I threw up.

Then I realised it was liked by a Tumblr mutual from the other blog and started pacing around the room like "do they know? DO THEY KNOW???? What if they are disappointed by it??? Will it affect their perception of me???"

The very same thing also happened when I got the perfect score for an important dissertation at uni. I got my grade on the website, started crying, told myself that I should get a lower one, threw up, then I got angsty and thought it must have been a mistake and that they were going to correct it, showered and cried myself to sleep.

This feeling of “No that’s no true. It’s horrible and bad and doesn’t deserve whatever praise it might get.” is so strong in me that it gets ridiculous and right now I’m laughing a little about it. Because I know that these things are good. They are helping me get rid of an insecurity I’ve come to internalise.

But oh man what a ride.

#every now and then I remember how danni drew fanart for my first fic and I cry a little over that. #I remember math was the only class where I was barely passing and had to do A LOT of extra work back in high school. #and whenever I got a bad grade I wouldn’t be sad #I’d just be angry and frustrated. but then in English and history class where I was the best student #I would ask to go to the bathroom and would vomit and cry whenever I got a good grade. #positive reinforcement is like getting a vaccine. It hurts and maybe I'll feel bad for the rest of the day but it will ultimately help me. #my stuff

Also hi I am still alive. I certainly don't feel like it though (I caught Covid at the beginning of the year)

#tj taulks #i was absolutely miserable the first five days. now i just have an annoying cough and i feel more fatigued than usual #everyone who said it was just like the flu is lying. #the last round of vaccines i got for it knocked me out of commission for days and i'm due for the next round. agony

Can everyone send my family good vibes? We have a super late flight home tonight, a week after we were supposed to leave because we all got Covid, and I just want to have the 2.5 hour flight be as uneventful as it was coming to Nashville.

(It's been 12 days since the kids started showing symptoms, 7 for me, and 6 for spouse. Spouse and I are masking for the entire trip. We're taking all the precautions we can, but we have to go home)

I miss my cats and my bed and my things. I love my parents but we've been isolated from them so they don't catch it and I just really need to be home.

Thanks y'all ❤️

#about me #we leave at 1010pm #and land at 140am #we're also hoping the flight isn’t full so we can have two rows to ourselves #so the kids can nap #the first 3.5 days of the trip were perfect #then the last week and a half have been disappointing #i haven't been to TN in THREE years so ofc we all get covid the first time we travel somewhere outside of MA #at least we were all vaccinated and it was just a cold

Biology: *slams bat into my lower torso*

Me: *resolutely making myself a holiday meal* I have been looking forward to this for weeks!

Biology: oh damn one bat didn't do it, better get the SPIKED ONE

*period cramps intensify*

Me: hnnnnngh

#i am really hating the fact that my period is CONSISTANTLY moving up about five or six days each month? #ever since i got the first covid vaccine #and as always the first two days are hell that pain medication only blunts a little #me #my life

[angels-heap]

Begging for a four-day work week. I need 3 consecutive weekend days: One to sleep and recover from having to socialize, a second day to find the motivation to do creative stuff, and a third to actually act on that motivation.

#K talks #if anyone tries to get me to go anywhere for thanksgiving I am biting their head off #first of all there's a fucking pandemic on and no it doesn't really make a difference that 'everyone at the dinner will be vaccinated' #and secondly this will be my last shot at 3 consecutive days off in a row until like. may.

[junonreactor]

should i get my flu and covid vaccines at the same time one in each arm. or play it safe and get them like a week apart

#the convenience of the first option and also flu shots sting for a bit and don't usually have other side effects. #the covid vaccine though. knocked me out for 3 days each time. so um. #ein babbles #im just gonna get both :) wish me luck

[neacle]

I have accepted that I cannot make hair small anymore, it is my lot in life

Anyway, belated birthday-gift to @the-bafflement-of-scotland-yard <33 Happy birthday again lofe!!

#starlight express #cb the red caboose #stex cb #stex caboose #neacle draws #and anniversary to me taking my first vaccine shot on the same day and being scared out of my wits shdghsg
