It Finally Happened.
So, starting on Sunday, I started feeling ill: MAJOR congestion, a mild headache, and eventually a fever. On Tuesday, after working on a commission for a few hours, I basically went straight to bed and promptly slept for almost 16 hours straight. After that, I felt better, but still ill; as I type this, I'm still very stuffed up, and the headache is still present. As it turns out, my parents were feeling ill with similar symptoms. Now, all three of us were pretty sure this was just severe allergies, for a lot of reasons...but my brother was getting worried, so he very wisely decided to buy us a proverbial butt-ton of Covid home tests, and then immediately took one upon returning home. He tested positive, so the rest of us had to take them...and all of us tested positive. Myself included. Yes. I have The Rona. Now, before you all panic, I think I'm going to be okay: like I said, I've been improving, health-wise. I'm not at 100%, but the fever appears to be gone entirely, and I'm nowhere near "take a 16 hour long nap" levels of ill. Plus, when I took the test, the line was VERY faint, which could mean either a false positive or a sure sign that I am, indeed, in the waning stages of the virus. So I think I'll be fine. More than anything, right now, I'm sad and angry (starting to border on mildly depressed), because this means it's very, VERY likely I'll be spending Christmas cooped up at my house with practically nothing to do. And THAT wouldn't be SO bad, except that I have a friend who has no one to spend the holidays with. We invited him to Christmas dinner at my grandparents'...but since we won't be going, and can't pick him up (the poor fellow has to carpool with my family for this), the chances are he won't be either. If there's one thing I hate more than spending Christmas in quarantine, it's knowing that my friend has to spend it all alone. That really, really makes me sad. So...yeah. Physically, it's okay, I'm pretty sure I'll be alright. I'll keep my closer friends posted on updates, and as soon as I test negative, I'll let everybody know. I'm also fairly sure that I'll be okay by the time I need to return to the theatre for the play I'm in. (On that note, the ankle is GREATLY improved, too.) The real damage is emotional, so to speak. ON THE BRIGHTER SIDE OF LIFE: I have only a few commissions from November left to complete. I will be resuming work on those after Christmas, although I can't say exactly which day of the week yet. Also, I will be posting a journal sometime between tomorrow and Monday with the updates and changes that will be in place for commissions thiscoming new year. But having said that...I think this guy sums up my basic emotional state at the moment...

You know, I've started a new playthrough of Pokémon Sword and with the benefit of hindsight, (and the fact that BDSP and Scarlet and Violet replaced it as the most hated Pokémon games) I can't fucking believe that THIS game was the one that irreversibly fractured the Pokémon Fandom.
Like, THIS GAME? Really???? Seriously?
THIS is the game I got sent death threats over???
THIS was the game that made someone on Reddit deliberately target people who were looking forward to the game and DM them a list of every major spoiler with the message "This game doesn't deserve to be enjoyed"?
THIS is the game that got the creator of Serebii harassed because he decided to take a neutral/non biased stance when reporting game news?
THIS is the game that got some public Pokémon event cancelled due to security issues?
THIS is the game that spawned the #HangMasuda tag on Twitter?????
THIS is the game that had the head of the Dexit movement compared themselves to the Beijing protests going on at the time? The people fighting for their rights compared to people complaining about videogame creatures?
THIS is the game that spawned a fucking WHITE HOUSE PETITION to get the fucking PRESIDENT to ban the sales of Sword and Shield?
All for the game who's only crime is being slightly mediocre? (And even that's super subjective)
I mean, I don't think Dexit is even a problem anymore because all those Pokémon got slowly added back to the Switch via the Sinnoh games and Scarlet/Violet and the small handful that are left are probably going to be in Legends Z-A.
Honestly, it's wild at how feral the Pokémon fandom was in 2019. I was there. I was there, Gandalf.
#pokémon#pokemon#pokemon sword and shield#pokémon sword and shield#pokémon swsh#pokemon swsh#I remember playing Sword at Christmas and enjoying it out of spite#But then I played it again during quarantine and enjoyed it genuinely.#It's good and I'll die on that hill

As much as I think I'm in my peak Dan and Phil obsession right now, nothing will ever top 2021 me, who watched around 80% of the All Dan and Phil Videos In Chronological Order playlist.
#all dan videos all phil videos all the super amazing projects#all the fetus phil experimental videos where he's smothering himself in slime#all the side channel stuff#some unlisted ones#i found a chart for the interactive space and christmas adventures and did those as well#im p sure the only dnp videos i haven't watched are 1) The Video#2) all the liveshows or radioshows bc im a masochist but not that much#and 3) some recent horror videos#i watched all the old horror videos because of this playlist#i think i gave up around ummm 2016? 2017?? but like all the videos after that i Had Watched before picking up the playlist#absolutely insane choice from 15 y old g there. also SUCH a quarantine one.#like there was covid of course i sat down and watched the entire dnp back catalogue#dnp#g talks dnp#g talks#phan

is my mom capable of being. normal. about me being sick?
#‘why wont you give your grandmother a hug you wont see her until christmas’ i’m sick.#��enough with the eating in your room come join us at the table’ im sick.#‘youve been cooped up in your room for days go to a coffee shop or something’ IM LITERALLY SICK WHAT THE HELL ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT#this is the same woman whos covid ‘quarantine’ was#her sitting in the guest room next to the door (where the desk was) WITH THE DOOR OPEN#my mom will eat nothing but roasted vegetables for three months for her ‘health’#but refuses to like. wash her hands after she uses the bathroom half the time. or think having a cold is a valid excuse to eat in your room#boycritter et al

the tank I currently have my betta in is a terribly scratched, beat-up acrylic tank of uncertain age and provenance so I was looking at some options to eventually upgrade him. i am getting SO many results for 1-2 gallon tanks and tanks in shapes that are just WILDLY inappropriate for any fish. how on earth is it not illegal to sell those things they're so horribly cruel.
#the difference in maintenance work and footprint between a 2-gallon and a 5 or 8 gallon isn't that significant!#it really isn't!#especially if you throw some more durable live plants in there!#i do have a 3.5 gallon on my desk but i keep it empty as a quarantine tank/observation tank in case my fish look sick#it's also got uh SO much christmas moss in there like just bonkers amounts of christmas moss for its size#i can't add any of the moss to my betta tank though without risking spreading The Great Snail Infestation#those motherfuckers thrive on absolutely nothing#chatterbox tag

ya girl has covid (most likely)
#I saw most likely because I took an expired test and it was negative#but my mom has Covid and I was around her and got sick right after her#I’m fine#I only really feel bad when I start running fever which has been happening on and off since yesterday#I just take an Advil and a nap and wake up all sweaty#I’m just spending my time off reading PGSM in front of a space heater and exiting on tea and honey#it’s been four days and today is the only day I felt congested#but my throat has been scratchy since the day after Christmas#and it’s straight up raw today#honestly minus the fever sinus infections are worse than this#my mom has it a lot worse and has like fatigue and everything#I’m just not going get actually diagnosed because I’m 99% sure it’s Covid and I don’t really feel bad#so I’ll just quarantine like it’s Covid unless it ends up lasting much longer then I’ll go get it checked

It's not even a mild cold for the coworker (and definitely isn't for me)! And he came! Everyone knows I have a bad immune system and my wife is in the hospital 3 times a week!
He also. Can work from home. He does so 3 times a week anyway.
I can't be around my wife for a week or so! My brother is coming to town and I can't be around him! My wife needs taken care of; she can't care for me!
I know I had the choice to just never stop wearing a mask but everyone gets vaccinated for covid and flu because (because I pressure them into it), so with just a little consideration this could have been avoided.
#totes bro#its just deeply inconsiderate when everyone else takes pto when they have colds for this reason#im going insane like he fucked up my Christmas and ruined things for the company#which the company shouldn't have done this to me#but#he. could. have. not. come#he even acknowledged that he knew that day of#how do you care that little?#and! i have to go in when im super sick they'll just quarantine me off#he doesnt because he can use next years pto#He Knew! he knew! he wasnt just dumb! it was just that inconsiderate!#at least I can leave knowing that this guy is really going to get it for this#which he deserves
