How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

[WolfeTone]

My spine is crumbling to dust

Otherwise, pretty good

My Pa is also thinking about putting down my childhood dog (I left him and his deceased sister behind for a number of reasons, never did know if it was right), fourteen years old Shetland sheepdog, for dementia.

i fucking hate technology sometimes. its so expensive yet breaks so easily. my oven that's three years old broke down. well, it works but the fan for some reason refuses to work. luckily, mom saved the receipt and the warranty is still active for another 10 months. the company however, are doing everything in their power to stall the process to delay the replacement so the warranty will run out.

remember when stuff was build to last? an old oven would last you atleast 10-20 years. sure, it works alot slower but atleast the damn thing worked.

Built in obsolescence. Building things to last is a lot less profitable than building things that need to be replaced frequently.

I had to replace the one of the ignitors in my 4 year old oven last month. I feel your pain.

Worried. Youngest son has needed several ER visits for the past few months. Tests kept coming back fine. Now. next month, they are going to check out his colon, and they are taking out his gallbladder.

I'm scared shitless to be honest.

Idk man. Current depression medication is only kinda working, it makes me extremely sleepy. In my line of work we're in the slow season so my past couple of checks have been shit, and I just feel like, idk crummy I guess. I've been wishing I could commit to things more like I say to myself I'll read that Manga I got for Christmas (Junji Ito Frankenstein), I'll keep playing my new game that I'm disappointed by(Forspoken). I work from sun up to sundown and just keep going back to my little computer room to play monster hunter.

I have creative projects I wanna work on too but I can never get the motivation to get started or engage with them in a way that I can learn something new. I feel like my whole life is one long rut.

The days get longer and my life gets shorter.

It's ok, I passed out a couple of hours ago so I'm doing better but man was that a rough night,

Business opportunities coming up and day job being pretty AFK right now make my life pretty easy. Cutting has been a success, haven't measured but can already observe the effects of lower body fat. Two months left until the eating begins.

Going snowboarding next week with a bunch of friends. Life is good.

 

[Second Sun]

This time next week I might actually own a home.

 

[Foltest]

this week, it has been pretty good.
Getting a nice taxback from the state.
My puppy turned five months (\o/)
overall, It is nice.

I was unemployed for a while, now I have been working as a frontend soy dev for a couple of months. Broke up with my gf, so now I don't really have much to do at home, it's weekend and I feel useless, wish I was back at work. My dad imposed protestant work ethic on me successfully, now I feel guilty unless I'm doing something productive. 10 years ago as a teen I was happy to smoke weed and do nothing, hard to imagine now, I guess that's part of growing up. I have been listening to audiobook on economics, and its as boring as it sounds, but I'm trying to learn something I understand nothing about.

PS: My protestant work ethic isn't so strong I wouldn't lurk the farms at work.

Very real possibility I'm suffering some serious fallout from COVID, the vaccines, or whatever the fuck.



First got sick over 6 weeks ago, still have difficulty breathing, especially in the mornings and at night. I'm a physically active, otherwise very healthy male who takes care of his body.

I even spooked my sister, a healthcare professional, who is forcibly taking me for a chest x-ray next week whether I like it or not.

Any kiwis experienced something similar? It's like I'm breathing through a bath towel shoved over my face.

I caught whatever the fuck is going around. Coughing, mild sore throat, hacking up mucus. No fever thankfully and it feels like its clearing up but I'm still just not doing much. For the time being its fluids, Robitussin and tea. If it doesn't clear up I'll get a zpack script, however mucus is now clear so I'm hoping I'm on the up and up. My weekend is probably shot though, I was planning on hitting the gym and doing some meal prep to restock my freezer.

Normally physically fit, lift weights, do cardio, eat healthy animal proteins and veg with a small amount of carbs. Also take quercetin, elderberry, multivitamin, Vit C in addition to other stuff so I'm a little annoyed its stuck around this long.

Could be a spontaneous Pneumothorax, if you're a young male and thin it's not uncommon. I had one years ago and it felt like I was breathing through a straw for weeks, the x-ray is probably a good idea

I caught whatever the fuck is going around.

Could it be that weird strain of RSV? That is usually harmless except to infants but this year is fucking up adults pretty badly. And unlike flu/coof there isn't a vax, even an imperfect one.

 

[SSj_Ness (Yiffed)]

To say the last few years have been particularly rough would be an understatement.

 

[lol lmao]

Nephew apparently has an eye disease. The way my sister describes it makes it seem it's very very bad. Ever since I found out last night I've been pretty distraught as I'm halfway across the planet and I haven't seen him for months. All I can really do is just hope for the best I guess.

 

[Gravityqueen4life]

Oven is fixed now. so that's good.
