<Insert witty banter here>
Realizing I should update my journal, since it's been a while, and plenty has happened.
For the two or three people who read my journals, I ended up coming down with Covid last week. Holy fucknuggets, was that ever a trip. Several days of a high fever that was only barely managed by medication to put me in a state where I could not worry about brain damage and a constant exhaustion that left me pretty much bedridden. I can safely say, I have never spent so much time in bed before, and I do NOT miss the whole "I'm too tired to even feed myself" thing.
I'm still recovering from the ordeal, and I admit that memories during the fever days are hazy, at best. I recall sleeping for hours at a time, interspersed with bathroom trips and feeble attempts to open medicine bottles before I gave up and left the lids off. Thankfully, I survived that nightmare. I have to put that down to the fact that I was fully vaccinated, even if I was due for another booster. If I hadn't gotten the shots, I am certain I would not be sitting here, prattling on about my experience. At this point, I'm just thankful that I did not end up 6 feet under in a wooden box. I'd like at least a few more decades before getting to see my mother again, after all!
So, that's been the past week-and-a-half of my life. Feels simultaneously like a full month and just a day or two. I dread to even contemplate all the school work I've missed during this time, but my professors have all been quite understanding and told me to focus on recovery, so I'm hopeful on that front.
Not sure what else to say here, as I'm still feeling tired a lot, but I felt I should really update this. So yeah. Have a good one, everybody!

Listen, this bull is so proud of you! That picture that you’ve done off Muscle Wolf is fantastic! I was visiting Dinnie and he use Apple TV to display the picture. He cried for hours in my arms. Being his old boyfriend and seeing him like this made me realize how sensitive he is.
I am so sorry to hear this happened and was so awful for you, but I am very glad you did make it through and are recovering! I bet you are right about the vaccination's effects.
When you feel up to it, please reach out and let me know...I know we fell out of touch again, and it's important we stay connected. Since we never know how much time we have left to us, and since as you said this nightmare could have a very different outcome... *hugs tightly*
