How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I just want the election and this lockdown to be over with already.

It sucks knowing that your future is uncertain and you don't have much control over what's to come. I want to remain positive even if things go tits up, but fuck it's hard to do at times.

I mean, at least I voted, so I did everything I could do.

Finally realized Vantage Score and FICO are different. Heard FICO is usually quite a bit lower, so I checked and...it's ~40 points higher. FICO's in the 720s across all three bureaus, and I only just paid off the balance that had been sinking my score for months.

Got a vet appointment and an Rx for antibiotics last week. Pharmacy screwed around for days, claiming issues with the wholesaler, and while they were standing around with their thumbs up their asses one of the mice died.

I'm unspeakably angry right now.

I got the flu shot about 11 days ago and got the mild flu. The doctor swears that isn't possible but it happened.
I kept using the nyquil and have spent the better part of two weeks mostly sleeping. No regrets

Killed virus vaccines won't give you the disease.

How-so-fucking-ever, your immune response is most of what makes you miserable when you have the flu, so you absolutely CAN experience flu-like symptoms from a vaccine, whatever the ackshyouallies of the world may say.

I seem to be fine now, except the beer and liquor I ordered for Tuesdays riot watching won't be here for a few hours. I mean, why can't they drone that to my window

Feeling absolutely awful. In the past three days, I've slept probably a total of about twelve hours. Yesterday, I had a two-hour intense panic attack, followed by about ten hours of feeling completely drained. I didn't get to sleep until around 12:45am, and I ended up waking up around 4:45am. I was able to get about an hour more of sleep, but after that, I wasn't able to sleep any more.

Its weird. I wouldn't expect this on such little sleep, but I had some super vivid dreams, last night. They weren't surreal, but definitely unlikely to happen. They just felt extremely real, and sort of acted as epilogues to things that actually happened to me.

I don't know really, all I remember is going to watch Macbeth by Shakespeare. And as I am about to fall asleep due to how boring plays are that the wife insisted on coming to. Then I felt like a drill going into my head and some fuck shouting some Virginian slogan and then it all went black.

Optimistic because I have several phone and virtual interviews (two are second round interviews!) lined up this week, but also annoyed with myself because I lost my social security card and have to get a new one mailed. At least I know it by heart.

Not well.

My seasonal depression has been in full force lately and I am incredibly anxious about the world right now. Besides COVID, everyone I know is obsessively discussing politics and I just want the election to be over so I can stop giving a shit about the government.

A friend of mine invited me to a Halloween party via Zoom last night and I figured I'd drop in, thinking we'd just be hanging out and bullshitting while getting drunk. I go on and it's literally 7 or 8 people who are even further left than I am discussing the evils of centrism and the abolition of institutions of power, including the Constitution.

I want to get off MR BONES WILD RIDE.

So far my applications (I have filed in excess of 100 applications over the past few months) have netted me maybe 10 interviews. One of those interviews was basically just a phone screening where they referred me to another interview process to be added to a "talent pool" later this month. No offers of employment yet. Not holding my breath here.

I'm so fucking sick of this. My savings are slowly but surely disappearing, the gap in my employment continues to widen and thus potentially harms my chances at another job. On top of that it seems that absolutely everyone else is screwing up constantly (yet I'm the one between jobs) - one package delivery has failed to show (they didn't even give a tracking number for it, it's already been paid for and was supposed to show up on Saturday in theory but never did and I have no way to see where the fuck it is), the pharmacy for the antibiotics I need for the mice has done nothing but drop the ball and blame their wholesaler (and now another mouse has started to become symptomatic, after one suddenly died - not even the one I had pegged as most likely to die), the country appears to be slowly descending into a sort of madness regarding the election, Halloween was a bust, my computer is starting to throw fits again, and my patience is rapidly dwindling for all of this bullshit.

Just respond with "I don't want to hear apologies, I want to hear what you're going to do differently next time so you don't feel the need to apologize" and watch their faces screw up in confusion.

I've personally always hated apologies. They're things people say to make themselves feel better, not the recipient. Largely self-serving, does nothing to ameliorate most situations, and are thrown around so glibly they're indicative of nothing positive anyhow.

Do I look angry? I'm in a very good mood, having just made a splendid business deal. Maybe it's just womankind apologizing to me. Quite right; I'm owed that at least.

Maybe you look particularly ugly today.

Couldn't sleep. Decided in my injured state to do a workout again. Cops seemingly everywhere at 1-2 in the morning.
Went back to the place where I fell and messed myself up pretty badly. Not exaggerating, but my right shin swelled up to the size of a baseball. Ice pack magic, people. Ice pack tech magic. Anyway went right to the place where I got hurt and... managed to do what I couldn't do last time and didn't get hurt. Felt great. Kept going for another 30-40 minutes and had to come back to the dungeon more because of abrasion damage from my feet in my shoes than anything.
I have a feeling the next few days are going to be really funny.
I also was led to a family of raccoons, a bunny and two cats.
