How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

Hayfever has hit and sneaky panic buyers seem to have grabbed all the antihistamines. Shout out to everyone else being attacked by pollen.

Aside from that I'm enjoying the spring sunshine and I've finally stopped feeling irrationally guilty at not being able to go into my stupid job that I hate.

This morning while I was working, I got a call. It was my mother. She never calls me when she knows I'm at work so I took the call. I didn't expect it to be good news, and it wasn't. A family member who became ill has died of coronavirus. They deteriorated quickly and didn't make it. I held my shit together long enough to talk to my mother on the phone, but the stoic mask is cracking fast.

I hope nobody else here has someone ripped away from them by the Chinese virus. This is fucked up.
 
Feeling pretty shitty. I hate being at home just killing time and distracting myself. I want to go back to work. It'll be 3 weeks tomorrow since my last day. I want to visit my boyfriend and not worry about bringing home the coof. He works in a grocery store and I can't stop worrying about him. On the plus side my first certifications for unemployment were approved.

I think I'm going to try to quit smoking. I'm just smoking out of boredom now and I hate it.
 
The police are only responding to serious calls, not hurt feelings bullshit like normal, so I got to curse out the 450 lb tranny thing in my courtyard with zero repurcussions. Feelsgoodman.jpg

They had sent the landlord an email last year complaining I "misgendered" it and I was "disparaging the character" of other residents here.

Half of them are going to spread coof around the city because they're too rėtarded to follow simple rules and I hope if it comes to it the national guard fucking shoots them.
My downstairs tard is still walking around looking for cigarette butts to smoke.
I will enjoy being an unfiltered asshole.

I have dry goods, shitpaper, dip, weapons, books and I'm good to go.
 
Jesus fucking Christ. My laptop battery just exploded.

I was just getting ready to turn it on, so I brought it out into the kitchen. I hit the power button, the light indicating power turned on, then FFFFFFFWWWWOOOOOOOSSSHHHH white smoke and a jet of flame came out of the cocksucker. I jump back; turn the hood fan over the stove on, look back and it's still smoking prodigiously. Fuck this; we're going outside! I grab it, rush out the backdoor and put it down on the ground inverted in an A-shape. Then I remembered it was raining so I picked it up and moved it back under cover (hoping it would still work as long as it didn't get wet on top of exploding??). As soon as I put the cocksucker down again one of the cells went off like a firecracker; sprayed my shins with shrapnel, I yelled "FUCK ME!!!" at the top of my lungs, jumped back and two more cells went up.

I grabbed one of my kid's sticks from beside the door (she collects sticks and we make her keep them outside) and started pushing the glowing cells away from me into the rain while side-eyeing the laptop. Eventually they died out on the concrete so I picked the laptop up and brought it inside. Got my wife out of bed (she heard me hollering but "Whatever it was I figured you could handle it better than I could") to help me clean up the fucking soot all over the kitchen table.
As for the laptop??

Dell laptops can apparently take quite a fucking licking and keep ticking, friends. The case is a little bit melted where the initial flame jetted out but other than that she booted up fine (if a bit slowly) and the keyboard, touchpad, screen and all those good things seem absolutely unaffected. I'm never putting another battery back in this thing for obvious reasons but all in all not a bad result. I'm really glad that it happened while I was home; if my wife and kid had been here and it went off in the bedroom it could very well have burnt the fucking house down. Time to stiffen up this drink I've got going and smoke a fucking joint.
 
My sister-in-law, my older brother’s wife, is officially 35 weeks pregnant as of today. She’s due in mid-May so we have about 5 weeks until little Nug (that’s what we’ve nicknamed them) is born.

As you can expect my family is very excited. This is the first baby on my side of the family since my cousin was born 13 years ago (SIL already has an adorable nephew so her side of the family is slightly more accustomed to this) so everything feels exciting and new. I’m so excited to be an aunt!! I want to be the fun aunt who you’re always happy to see because she buys you ice cream and watches your favorite movies with you.

The only downside is that we’re pretty sure we won’t get to meet the baby right away thanks to Corona-chan (:_(
 
I've taken to sleeping during the day like my fucktard tugboat section 8 neighbors do, no point in trying to keep human hours as they wake up and make horrific rétard sounds and scream and slam doors. It's sort of depressing but I used to work 3rd shift so it's doable.
They're closing liquor stores super early or stopping selling liquor earlier and earlier so I imagine one of them is going to have a withdrawal seizure and the ambulance will wake me up anyways.

I saw a pretty good one at my first factory job where the guy stiffened up like a board, went "hurrrrrettttt" and fell like a sack of turds. Never saw him again.

Mostly fine but I'm sick of movies and videogames but I was almost at that point in January.
 
Been a month since I last smoked weed since I am not taking the bus to the dispensary. Working from home five days a week. Actually lost a bit of weight in the last month, probably because of not having weed munchies. I do miss going to the office, though.
 
I'm fine because i have the weekend off and i really need that after his exhausting week (even if i have home office). I hope I can fulfill my plans, can't do a lot because of stupid corona. Finally i have the time to do the things i wanted to do, but can't buy the essential things, because everything is closed.
 
I hope nobody else here has someone ripped away from them by the Chinese virus. This is fucked up.

3 people I knew all fell to the virus. One is in the hospital intubated.

It's so surreal. I just saw like all three of these people within the span of less than a year... and within weeks, they're gone.

I'm trying, man. But it's hard.
 
I’m not doing as well as I’d wish. My anxiety has been off the charts these last few weeks. I take care of the elderly, so I’m always worried about accidentally infecting someone (even though I don’t go anywhere else besides work and home, it’s just the anxiety making me feel more irrational). Due to my anxiety, my sleeping and eating habits have really deteriorated. I’m trying to get back on track, but it’s hard. I’ve had more mental breakdowns in the past month than I’ve had in years, and I hate it. I want to feel normal again.

Besides that, I just haven’t been feeling very accomplished in life. I want to go to grad school to get a MA in history, but I’m worried about rejection. I know I am capable, but anxiety has made it harder for me to just take the risk and apply anyway. I know grad school isn’t easy, but I need another challenge in life. Afterwards, it would be nice to become a researcher, government worker or a teacher.

Tl;dr The anxiety from the virus and current job has made it mentally difficult for me lately to do anything useful
 
My legs and back are very sore so I'm going to attempt to do a lot of sedentary things today. I plan to watch a few videos online, do some journaling and reading and maybe take a short nap to pass the time faster lol
 
I'm trying to avoid turning this into a LJ post as much as possible, but

guys, I'm fucking terrified.
A flight attendant who lives down the street has the Wuflu, and the lack of knowledge around how to treat this fucking shit has got me Batman Beyond scared. I read shit from CDC that's like "lol you're all gonna get SARS, fuck you" and it's hard not to freak out. I don't want to catch this, I don't want my family to catch this. All we can do is stay home and watch the country fall apart. fuck
