scrubjayspeaksI! Am sick! Again!
Again-again!
Motherfucker?!
Starting Monday, I had what I think was a horrible delayed reaction to the multiple meds they put me on for the ear infections. Antibiotics tend to upset the digestive biome, but this was in another class. So I spent the first half of the week in agony.
On Thursday, I got the final shot in the series for HPV. (When I was growing up, it wasn’t a thing yet, and then I was under the impression that I was already too old to get it. When I found out I was still eligible, I started the process.) Now here’s the thing: I spent two hours at the clinic, waiting to get this shot. I had an appointment, to be clear. Nonetheless, they actually closed up the place around me, while I waited in a windowless room, to get this thirty-second jab. They had to usher me out a back door, because the main entrance had been locked up already, and they couldn’t have me pay because there was no longer anyone in the building to do that.
Waking up Friday morning to a sore throat did not improve my opinion of the experience. Did I get exposed to something at the clinic? Is this a reaction to the vaccine? Who can say? All I know is that I no longer have a sore throat--instead, I have a sinus infection.
Or something. At this point, identifying what exactly is wrong with me seems quaint. I have all the illnesses. They are queuing up to have their wicked way with my immune system.
I would really like to get back to posting for the Snowflake Challenge. But right now, my brain cells are limited.
Lewisia: no new pieces written, I’m going to take my yearly break from writing this month, instead of doing it next month when the posts themselves are on break
Day job: 42.5 hours, all of which should have been spent in bed instead
Gardening: garden club post
Reading: The Complete SiP (Strangers in Paradise) Kids (the alternate universe kid version of the cast, cute and silly, this is the sort of AU/beach day cozy interlude that I wish all series did, I love when creators are basically doing fanfic of their OCs alongside us)
Watching: Revolutionary Girl Utena episodes 18 through 23 (progress! joy! ...confusion, because this is a very strange series!)
Listening: One More Saturday Night by The Halluci Nation (formerly known as A Tribe Called Red, which is part of why I lost track of them and missed getting this actual album until now, it’s so damn good?!, hits much the same spot for me as FOUR FISTS with the hiphop and spoken word elements)
Playing: fuck it, Animal Crossing: New Horizons completionist play--I’m coming for you, rare fish!
Clock Mouse: 96 minutes of planning work
Other: helped mum upgrade the software on her insulin pump
Again-again!
