How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[Sourceress]

Christmas has been really rough and weird today. My family couldn't come because covid and distance and stuff, and my partner is working, so I pretty much got to open some presents and then got left alone for most of the night. Not so much fun on the holiday, but it doesn't really feel like a holiday anyway. I've mostly been feeling really sad and lonely all day.

On the upshot, this novice baker apparently made some very impressive cookies this holiday season. I was so nervous because first of all, no one but my partner had ever tasted my baking before this, and also one batch (for my family) had to be sugar free because one of my relatives is diabetic, and I'd never worked with a sugar substitute in baking before. Not to mention they had to be shipped, so I just had to pad them in and pray they didn't break to pieces. But everyone absolutely loved them, or they lied very convincingly to me and I'll take it.

I'm just kind of hanging out now, painting my nails with this really nice sparkly polish I got for Christmas. Will probably play some video games once it's dry enough, if I don't fall asleep first. I hope everyone else's Christmas is way better than mine.

Good and stable for once. Time with the important people was had, great food was eaten (some of the best meatballs I've ever had), and aside from a tiny member of the covenant having a bit of a mysterious tantrum, pretty calm too.

I watched movies, did yoga, worked on some hobbies- I was expecting to just want to kill myself so I feel this was a great day for me and I'm grateful to still have a home and food and my pets (who all got extra treats and the cat a can of tuna because we are poor this year but I don't think he realized the difference).

A cat like that is a treasure. Hang onto the little fur butt.

I drank too much beer yesterday (as of December 26th 2021). I spent the morning throwing up. I still feel like shit, but still better than in the morning.
Looks like alcohol isn't for me. My stomach is just too weak for that. I now crave for this one specific type of bread that is nice and soft, as well as some stuffed paprika.

*Edit*: Wow, I was so fucked that I even misspelled "December".

Ended up having a pretty good holiday even though I didn't expect anything out of it. A lot of people in the extended social web seem to have high hopes and very devil-may-care attitudes about restrictions and the like.

Big thing to help out there is some bread and something fatty to help sop it all up. A classic hangover food is a bacon sandwich which appeals for obvious reasons.

I've been having a lot of fun with life (going out with friends and whatnot) but now I have the dreaded veerus and will miss out on NYE and I'm sad. Fuck the chinese

Its been four straight days and my throat still feels like sandpaper. All my other symptoms have reduced and I have more energy than before but my throat!!! I go to sleep and wake up in so much pain everyday. Life fucking sucks I hate quarantining because I always regress into my teenage-self a little.

Oh and Christmas? What Christmas? Didn't get to do shit since I have to isolate and these test results are taking forever. Once again, Wuhan please get hit by many missiles.

I started getting a sore throat and congestion over Christmas. Before work I decided I'd be responsible and take a self test. Whaddayaknow, it gave me a positive. Needless to say I called into work and am going to a clinic for an actual test. I've had the vaccines in the spring but new variants/not 100% guaranteed protection from the varus and all.

We were slammed last week with Christmas shoppers so its likely one of the hundreds of customers might have spread it. I'd just feel kind of guilty because me and my bf were supposed to go to a relatives wedding this week. My bf is off work this week, so he can get a test sometime soon as well. We may have to miss the wedding because of me.

All thing considered, I just feel like I have a cold.

I'll keep this one brief to not heavily derail but yeah its something I've thought on myself. Country music for a good while was far more rebellious and 'FUCK THE SHERIFF, ONLY GOD CAN JUDGE ME!' kind've music. Then it took a hard turn into sappy patriotism much like how it got a small splash of anti-communist here and there. Except in this case I don't think the record labels want to take 'risks' to go back to how it was so we're looking at yet more Praise Jesus and The Flag in the immediate future.

It's pop music with a guitar.

Rap and punk were the same: anti-rich people. That's not the message they want to be puttng out there.

I don't feel horrible but my sore throat is just killing me. I definitely got this from work too (I work in hospitality, so I feel ya) and not really surprised that Christmas rushes are infecting people. Hope you feel better soon!

There hasn't been anyone on the level of Johnny Cash since. For that matter, there hasn't been anyone on the level of Hank Williams, Sr. since.

Oh and Christmas? What Christmas?

Seems to be a running theme. I was out of work for a month, so all my Christmas money went toward bills.

I made a game of asking "How was your holiday" to everyone at work. They were either working, sleeping, or gravely ill.

I'm doing better today than I have been. My brother who's been visiting for the holidays left for two days to see friends. He's turned into such a smug, arrogant little asshole and I find it hard to bite my tongue around him. Normally I'd tear him apart but my parents are happy he's here visiting for once. I just have to keep my distance for a bit longer and he'll be gone.

The first snow of the winter and my dogs are going apeshit. I'm sitting just inside the patio door at my dinner table with my laptop and my coffee watching these idiots have fun. They love the snow, especially the husky, like he feels a wild call in his blood when it snows. He lays invisible ambushes (hes pure snow white) for my mastiff, and then they chase each other at full speed in circles, leaving roostertails of flying snow like a speedboat. I can watch them do this for hours.

Funny you say this, this is exactly how my sister feels about me. Yea, I doubt he like you either. As I for certain don't like my sister.

She actually picked a fight with me on a New Years eve. I sent her sulking to her bedroom. So I would be careful with picking a fight with him.
