#flu A sucks

[sevcasejay1chicago]

So, your girl has the fucking flu.

My boss is an IDIOT and KNOWS I am immuno compromised and sent me in a classroom with KNOWN flu positive cases instead of someone else and now I have the flu, no PTO, and a grandmother I have to take care of.

I’m fucking pissed. I want to quit my job and find a new one so bad, but I have no other choice but to stay at the moment.

Ughhhhh. I am so furious right now.

I HAVE ANOTHER!!! TIMEEEE.....WEAR IT

Time model is back!

I don't know where you find all these t shirts but I really love them! And I really enjoy making my characters wear them!

Also sorry if I answer questions so slowly, but I caught the flu again in 2 months, and I feel very tired and a little depressed, but I try to draw a bit during the week

Thanks for your ask! Hope you like it! 💖

Fighting off cold and flu has always been difficult for me and it's only getting harder as I get older. I find the transitioning from being "sick in bed" back to "functioning person" can often be the hardest part, especially when it comes to congestion which can take days if not weeks to clear up, so even if I'm able to walk around, do basic tasks, etc. I'm uncomfortable the whole way through. At least when it comes to my back pain, that's something that I'm used to and can predict and accommodate; getting sick is none of those things.

What's making it even more difficult this time around, compared to every other time, is the fact that I went from being healthy and medicated to sick and unmedicated. So that transition back into "functioning" is being slowed further by my returning inability to focus, to push myself through the uncomfortable feeling of doing literally anything, to be at peace with boredom.

Every single time I want to do anything that isn't laying in bed, it's met with both "I don't know if I'm physically capable of doing that because I'm sick" and "I don't know if I'm mentally capable of doing that because I'm off my meds."

And it's incredibly exhausting.

Mechtober Day 2: Gunfire and explosions

Sleeping Beauty is a great song but I’ve caught the plague so goodnight everyone, I’m going to sleep now.

I feel the fact I'm a microbiologist makes the black mold incident even funnier. Like yeah I did consume black mold but on account I'm contaminated with dozens of other microbes they all just cancel each other out

Spicy Death Broth

As we rock up to cold, flu, and vaccine-side-effect season, I offer this. It doesn't taste that nice. But it will burn out mucus, pain, and germs. Pinky-swear. This recipe is intended to have dumplings in it (I use frozen pot stickers, for ease, but you can also put noodles of choice or nothing at all.) All of this is dry/prepared because I don't usually make this unless I feel like shit. I'm cutting zilch. IF USING RICE NOODLES, cook them in the broth but double everything, because those babies suck up liquid like nobody's business.

-1 cup broth (I use beef, vegetable would probably be fine)

-shake of dried onion flakes OR onion powder (have a care with the powder, it can easily get out of control!)

-squeeze of ginger; probably about a teaspoon (ginger is for anti-inflammation!)

-garlic (friend of your immune system: be generous. When in doubt, What Would Greg the Garlic Farmer Do?)

-few dashes of Worcestershire sauce (oyster sauce might do you)

-two dashes of teriyaki sauce

-a splash of sesame oil

-splash of chili oil (WARNING: chili oil will burn the mucus out, but if you're not used to spicy food, tread carefully, it can hurt you)

-soy sauce, to taste

-handful of shredded carrots (optional)

***

Bring ingredients to a rapid boil. If using as a sipping broth (no extras), boil for one minute. If adding dumplings or noodles, add them and heat through. This is not recommended for gastrointestinal distress for obvious reasons.

Weds 16th October

Tues Weds office days this week. Flu vaccine clinic yesterday so went down with a couple of the girls on my team and got vaccinated. And got a sticker and a lollipop for it 😎

It's one of my colleagues' 30th birthday this weekend and I stupidly took charge of organising his gifts so rushed to get some giant balloons after work and came home and made up a hamper for him.

Up early this morning to make sure I had everything ready. It was team meeting day today so it was all a bit hectic but coworker was happy with his gifts and seemed to really appreciate them. He gave me a little cuddle to thank me for organising it all so I'm really glad I did okay.

As the day has gone on I've been feeling a little yucky and my armpit is killing me! So I think it's just the flu jab kicking in. "Rested" this evening bc I felt gross and exhausted when I got home and by resting I mean I spent 2 hours browsing cars bc we are in desperate need of a second one. Sharing ours is just not sustainable. I had hoped I could lease one from work but the cheapest cars are fully electric (great but I would have to then pay more to install a charger) and fuckung huge (not great because I am very fucking small and I currently drive a very small car I am not ready to upgrade to an SUV lmao) so we're back to looking at second hand from a local dealer and tbf there are a lot of good deals around, we just need to make the time to go and test drive a couple and get it sorted bc from November Matt's schedule is getting busier and I would really like to have the new car by then if we can. So I spent most of my night babbling out loud about the pros and cons of hire purchase bc that seems to be the way we could get the newest car with the lowest mileage. If we buy outright it would be an older car that's done more miles and had more wear and tear that we will need to pay to repair. But I can already hear his parents complaining about us paying for one large investment on finance. But like who can afford to buy a car outright these days lmao

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 😊

[yellowbunnydreams]

I would like to apologise to everybody for once again, there being a delay in fics coming out. I caught the flu recently and have just gotten over it as well as driving 5 hours across country. I promise stuff will be coming out this week, I just need to catch up to myself.
