Following on my previous reblog, and I know I've said this before:
In the last few years I've been really radicalized against this "if it's not fatal why bother preventing it" mentality that seems EVERYWHERE in American life. (Probably other places too, I'm American so I can only speak to the American experience.)
Like, a cold generally won't kill most people, but it still sucks to get one. And we just kinda shrug and go "oh well, it's the winter, I will probably get a cold at some point" instead of, like, wearing masks? I WISH I could go back in time and hand myself a package of KN95s before my first holiday season working retail.
Same with the flu! In addition to the very true and important argument that the flu WILL kill people, dammit, the flu also just sucks! Get a flu shot!
I'm still masking pretty much everywhere outside my bubble, and even if any of that changes years down the line, I can't imagine EVER not masking inside a Target at Christmas ever again. And I really resent this cultural norm that it's somehow "weird" to just...not want to get sick.

Didn't get my flu shot yet - so of course I got the flu. Hit me like a locomotive yesterday afternoon. My fever was so high (102.5°) Peanut wouldn't come near me.
My daughter is amazing. Just dropped this off for me - but left it in the garage so she didn't catch my cooties lol.
My memes may not drop every day for now, although I have some in Drafts I'll queue later.

My current stage of flu recovery
Me, sitting up in bed: I feel so much better today! I could probably go outside and take a walk!
Me, getting up to go to the kitchen: *nearly falls over*

it is entirely unfair that sometimes the flu shot, which is supposed to prevent me from getting sick, makes me sick instead. like yes i realize this is my body's immune response kicking in as a result of the vaccine AS INTENDED but does it have to be such a little bitch about it?

Wishing you a speedy recovery!!! 💖Our whole household got hit with the flu this past week and it’s been horrible :( get vaccinated ppl!
Oh my god same!!! I joked to my friends it sounds like a tuberculosis ward over here and then almost fainted this morning.
On the bright side, my fever broke last night and I'm getting plenty of rest :)
Hope you and your housemates feel better soon too!!!

I have had the flu for six days and I’m tired of it!!! I saw Blues Brothers 2000 and soon I will have seen the trifecta of Sequels to Beloved Franchises that Nerds Like to Pretend Never Happened (Blues Brothers 2000, Shock Treatment, Love Never Dies)
Time to see Love Never Dies it can’t be as bad as BB2k I need Dan Aykroyd to apologize to me specifically.

Story time!
Last year at prom, a few kids had the flu and decided they would still go to prom. The next week about half of my class was out sick. I wasn’t sick despite almost all of my friends (who I had spent prom with and had a sleepover with afterwards) having the flu.
When they got back to school we realized something. Everyone that had gotten sick had skipped their flu shot. I had gotten the shot and didn’t get sick. The others that got the shit ALSO didn’t get the flu.
It’s almost like…getting the flu shot can prevent getting the flu…
Hmm I guess we’ll never know

Eddie posts a Tiktok of him zooming in on Ozzy as he says in a sing-song voice, “Guess who isn’t happy that they have to get a shot.”
He pans the camera up suddenly and pushes in on Steve’s face. Eddie’s voice is all smiles when he says, “It’s Steve.”

LIFE HACK FOR ILLNESS
When you're coughing a lot and finding it hard to sleep, instead of propping yourself up with extra pillows (and then getting awkward neck strain), put some of those extra pillows under your mattress to tilt it up! Elevation with no neck strain 👍
(This comes doctor recommended)

frankly I’m still furious that in western countries wearing a mask in public whenever you’re ill—regardless of the illness—didn’t come out of the pandemic

I wonder how many clients has come to Santi, claiming that he impregnated them
A few smartasses looking to cheat him out of good money.
It really is a shame for them that Santi takes his shots.
