#flu sucks

[corrienteallita]

Just an FYI, I'm probably going to be posting a little stardew valley content on here. I've had the flu recently and the only thing I've felt like doing is curling up with a cat and playing stardew valley. So there will be a small break in sims content, but only a small break 😊

#non sims #sort of non sims #flu sucks #i hurt all over #and just want to sleep #my cats have been right shits lately too #i'm looking at the kitten who stole the treat box #managed to open it up #and gorge himself on treats #the other cats joined in on the glorious feast #but it meant that they also all ate too much and had upset tummies

Two of my doting nurses. The fever has broken completely, and I'm doing much better. Don't worry, I'm resting still, as my husband keeps lovingly forcefully reminding me :D

Jade is concerned but the coughing she cannot allow. Sometimes I get a concerned paw on my head/ face.

#the raven speaks #my cats #flu sucks #my kitties are so good though #mostly laying on the couch playing diablo #requires no brain #love a button smasher for times like these

So after last night's mental breakdown, I woke up this morning with what I think is the flu.

[scaryscarecrows]

The relative silence, which is mostly white noise of wheezing, the occasional sniffle, and the thudding of Gatorade bottles being plunked back down, is abruptly shattered by brutal, chest-wracking coughs. The coughs go on for quite some time before turning to miserable sputters and finally stopping. Then, however…

“Whichever one of you fuckers got me sick is going into a woodchipper,” Mark snarls before gagging and spitting what is almost certainly a mucus ball into his tissue. “I will find out and you will regret it.”

“You’re the medic,” Jason points out. “And you refused to leave us to fend for ourselves.”

“Jimmy was the plague-bearer,” Trent adds. Jimmy, who’s squeezed between him and the arm of the couch, flips him off.

“Fuck you, you can’t prove that.”

“You got chicken pox at thirty,” Antoine says. Riley cackles. With his throat as fucked up as the rest of theirs, it sounds like that orange electric Scooby-Doo ghost. Jimmy grumbles something probably unflattering and wedges his toes into the couch cushions.

“Guys…” Frank warns. He’s half-asleep. It doesn’t matter. “Be nice.”

Everybody falls silent. Nobody says it, but the reality is that one of the few places that delivers is closed for renovations, pizza does not sound good, and they have no leftovers. In other words, they’re going to have to cook.

There is a small problem with that. Namely, the fact that standing for more than five minutes is very, very hard. Cooking? Fuck that. It wasn’t so bad, for the first two days. Only three of them had been sick then. But now they’re four days in and everybody’s discovered the joys of two-in-one Head and Shoulders and sitting down in the shower.

“Who’s got the Halls,” Trent rasps. Frank fumbles around in the remote basket until there’s the crinkling of a bag.

“Air mail.”

The Halls don’t quite make it to Trent--they hit the floor near him--but Riley grabs them, pulls one out for himself, and slaps the bag against Trent’s chest. A second later there’s typing and the text-to-speech says in that horrid monotone, “My cough drop says inspire envy.”

“Your cough drop needs to mind its own business.”

More typing.

“My cough drop is better than your cough drop.”

Trent unwraps one and huffs a laugh.

“Yeah, mine says be unstoppable. Suck it.”

“That’s the point of cough drops,” Jimmy mumbles. “Pass ‘em over.”

The room falls silent again. The TV decides to go to commercial, which means the neutral Tom and Jerry--something that won’t trigger anybody--becomes an ad for fucking Kidz Bop, ruiner of America’s youth.

Frank kindly mutes the horror just as Jason emerges from his blanket cocoon and rasps, “What’re we doin’ f’r dinner.”

…

Yeah. They have to do something, because Nite-Time on an empty stomach is a mistake, but. Cooking is hard. They ate the last of the frozen dinners last night, and, well…

“Good question.”

The ad doesn’t appear to be stopping, which means now’s as good a time as any to struggle up and shuffle to the kitchen to scrounge. There’s. There’s not much. There’s the stuff for stir-fry, which is way too much work, and there’s the stuff for spaghetti, which they all agree sounds lousy, and there’s a lone jar of Herdez and a couple of packs of taco shells way in the back from who-knows-what. Riley’s laid claim to a can of soup, which is fair enough, but the rest of them...might starve.

Mark pulls out the jar of Herdez and nods once.

“Okay,” he rasps, gripping the wall with his free hand. “Okay. We’re gonna make idiot tacos.”

“The fuck is that.”

“Better than Taco Bell, but still a lie.” He shoves the jar back in and starts coughing again. “Somebody get out the hamburger and a. A frying pan.”

February 2015

Highlight of the month is the new Poison Ivy origin story “Green Savior” in Secret Origins #10 with her also going against a big agritech company (whose name is disguised a tiny bit.) Wonderful work by writer Christy Marx, artist Stjepan Šejić, and letterer John J. Hill.

Otherwise I only finished reading two books in February. I’m going to blame part of my poor reading habits on getting the flu early on. This meant sleeping. Then I played catch up for being highly unproductive too long. So I feel like I lost a chunk of time out of what is the shortest month of the year. Since every month there are new books, not reading much means my reading backlog increased vs. shrunk.

Soooo, yes. I'm back. Again.

So, my gremlin my toddler brought home strep and the flu from the preschool.

At the same time.

And then proceeded to share them with me.

I am so thrilled about this, let me tell you. (This is sarcasm)

On an unrelated note, if anyone is writing about sick toddlers and/or convincing sick toddlers to take medication they don't like, please let me know and I'll be happy to share my real world experiences with you. (For example, nothing hides the taste of Tamiflu and my gremlin will happily throw hands to avoid taking it)

Since I'm feeling more coherent and we'll enough to drink caffeine again, I'm going to stay posting again, instead of sporatically lurking.

Also, it doesn't fit the genre I'm currently trying to write my original WIP in, but I was reminded of an old fan fic I had started writing/thinking of when I was single and then hid away and forgot about. The urge to work on it is strong, and I think it would be a great way to get my creativity flowing again, so I'm starting a side blog to post it on, but I'll post on here when I updated in case anyone is interested in checking out my writing voice/style (or enjoys a nori/dwalin/dis ya hurt/comfort slow burn).

Important to note (and I can't remember if I shared this already or not): I abuse the "save draft" button like we're in a healthy BDSM relationship and it hasn't said the safe word yet, so I might reblog/react to stuff that hasn't been relevant for a month or twenty.

Thank you for understanding.

I'll post again later - you take care, ok?
