How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I get sick on or near the 11th of January every year for the last four years, this is very dumb and interrupts my plans to workout more:mad:
I always feel so bad calling out sick, even though I do it so rarely. Every job I've had I've been basically the only person holding down the fort so if I'm not in we either don't open or complete chaos unfolds. I'm fully expecting to come in tomorrow to a total disater.

It only took five years and some straight up bullshit luck, including a housemate who had it, but I’ve got covid for the first time. I’m vaccinated and have had (I think) three boosters, the last being about 6 months ago. So far it just feels like a slightly worse than average flu. Hopefully it doesn’t flatten me too much, but I’m staying in my bedroom until I feel better.
 
Medical stuff is in progress and I have no idea what the diagnosis will be. It's no celiac disease thankfully but the tests so far show my immune system is going crazy.

Also it's weird seeing someone you were close to turning into a more extreme version of the person you used to be. My ex best friend has gone full tradcon twitter LARP mode after getting the single mom he was dating for a year pregnant back in 2021. Not saying it's a cope, but it sure looks like one. Dude literally works at the garbage dump in the same county we grew up in while I moved away after we fell out.
 
I've been over the flu for a couple of days now, but have apparently gone anosmic - my senses of smell and taste are completely fucked. It's not that I can't taste or smell anything, but there's this olfactory "static" (for lack of a better word) that drowns everything but the most intense scents or tastes out.

As a result, I still haven't eaten anything since last Sunday and have just been drinking liquid meal substitutes (Ensure, mostly) since recovering just so I'm getting some calories/nutrients. As someone that really loves cooking this sucks, but at least I'm up and about again.
 
Tried cold showers or walking topless when it's 0 degrees outside in the morning. Didn't expect much out of it, but I guess I am feeling less tired and fed up with it all. Even working during the weekend wasn't so bad after all, didn’t even need to take Ibuprofen I bought just in case.
Take care, people, hope you're having a great weekend.

You sure it wasn’t covid? Loss of sense of taste/smell is, I believe, a *very* covid thing. Either way, glad you’re ok now.

It's possible, but I've had COVID a couple of times and it was basically just a cold both times - nowhere near as bad as this last round was That said, anosmia is apparently associated with both, so who knows for sure.

I wish I was good at drawing, but only seem to be good at making 3D models. Its stressful when seeing nothing but every wannabe hopeful artist out there being 2D artists and it feels like such a slap in the face when they just waste their talent on the same uninspired garbage that everyone else is making. They really do deserve to be replaced by AI because of that.

At least I can just translate my chicken scratch into something that looks far better than what I drew and don't have to suffer commissioning any of these self righteous pricks for a character reference sheet.
 
Not so hot. My roommate has lost his mind. He needs weed to level him out and he was out of it. I called someone to try and hook him up which I did. This was apparently a bad thing. He’s been screaming at me since 1 pm yesterday. Non stop, all night long, all day today. He’s always had some mental problems but nothing like this. He’s trying to throw me out of an apartment that I pay for right down the middle. There are many new holes in the walls and the cats are terrified. I am currently hiding in my room.

Nigga, what the fuck are you doing posting on Kiwi Farms? There's a drugged out crazy person punching holes in the walls of your house. Call the fucking police, dumbass.

Ahh, fair. I’ve lost sense of taste/smell with the flu before, so I guess you might be right.

I hope I come out of covid as well as you have!
 
Two weeks sober, which may not sound like much to some but that first week wasn't pleasant, non alcoholic beer legit fooled my brain long enough for the cravings to fade. To defend myself, I wasn't some out of control drunk, I just drank myself into alcoholism out of boredom (which discussing with some people is pretty common). Sobriety has made me realize just how many hours there are in the day but thankfully I've been being productive and touching grass. Went down the car rabbit hole today where I went to fix one thing and now I've got $200 in parts on the way for next weekend.

For real dude, if the guy is that unstable call the cops and baker act his ass.

You need to get out of this living situation love. It's not just about you, there's pets involved who are freaked out.
 
Terrified and depressed sums it up particularly well right now. I desperately want to tell anyone how fucked up things are but...

IRL there are consequences
Here it's more PL/specific than I wanna be.

I need a new job is perhaps, all I can say. (Also I'm really fucking tired of being "important" enough to dump a shit ton of responsibility on and not actually important enough anyone will listen to me about how to not hit the fucking iceberg dead ahead)
