How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

I think I'm developing an allergy to something. For the last few days I've become randomly itchy and my chest has started gradually feeling tight. How am I supposed to figure out what it is?

Gloomy. Unfortunately we've had to arrange for one of our cats to be put down because she's clearly suffering and there's nothing more we can do for her. They've given us a couple of days so we can say our goodbyes to her. I'm just drowning myself in work so I don't end up rolling the thought of losing her over and over in my head and making me feel worse than I already feel.

It's sad as fuck, but it's the only right thing to do. As it's cruel to keep her alive at that point.

Pretty mixed, on one hand I am full of existential dread, on the other hand I am just admiring the sleek Citroen SM. Man this is one elegant piece of car. unf

I agree it's sleek as fuck, but I wonder why it's build down in the back and not in the front. It's not lowered down or anything, and it's just nicer when the wheels are "hidden".

I think the shadows are in the play there. It's a bit flatter irl.

Of course I sure would gladly get either this, the DS or the XM as a fun car. I just love the shape and the feel. Sure it must be a lot of work to keep the hydraulic supension going on old cars. But eh, being stylish was never easy.

A bit mad, talked on the phone about this with my mom yesterday. Still mad even though I've slept on it.

I don't want to talk about it, but she's nagging me about it. She just can't fucking accept that I'm not taking any vaccine now. Maybe later, when it's more tested.
Even tried to guilt trip me into it by "What if you infect me". She have taken the vaccine, so fuck her. If she's afraid of getting infected, I'm completely fine with her not coming next month.
She gave me the swine flu vaccine when that came, the one that gave some people narcolepsy or some shit. I'm super mad at her, because it was 50/50 if I got my life ruined or not

It really grind my gears.

This stuff is like a secular religion at this point. Tell her to stop watching the TV so much.

Can't, it seems like everything I say to her is going in the ear and out the other. My dad is more rational, so for more serious stuff I communicate through him. Both because he know how to get through her, and because it makes me pissed when discussing with her.

Continuing to progress. Cleaned house today and did laundry. Took one break while cleaning house. Walking 1.2 miles/day, increased just a bit from one mile. Have a walking buddy now, one of our neighbors, lady a few years younger than myself. Makes the walks go quicker. Both of us have our various physical things so we just take our time walking and put safety first. Neither of us want to fall, for damned sure. Eventually we'll get up to 4-5 miles a day, no hurry.

Still have some "transient torments", primarily soreness/stiffness in back muscles. Use muscle relaxants and hot showers on afflicted area. Staying patient. Have come a long way since returning home from the hospital on 6 June. Make sure I consume plenty of milk/dairy products to get that calcium for bone growth.

A couple of months ago got a Bose Wave radio with CD player for half-price on QVC online. Very nice, puts out a great sound. Bought some extra CDs to have more to play in the machine.

Had a similar argument with my dad. I tried telling him how stupid this whole pandemic situation was and how overblown it was, but he's absolutely convinced that what we're doing is necessary. Ignoring the fact the lockdowns and mask mandates have been destroying our economy and fucking up the development of our children. He comes from a good place though, he doesn't want anyone in our family to get infected. He emphasized how much he worried for me in particular, as I work full time out in public.

We argued about this because apparently mask mandates might be coming back in my neck of the woods. I already spent a year and a half working 40 hours a week while wearing a mask, the very idea that I might have to go back to doing that terrifies me. And I have no plans on taking the vaccine at this point in time.

This isn't really a "how are you doing" thing, but I find it odd in a somewhat frustrating thing that I've met multiple foreigners from the same part of the world that seemed to all take a liking to me really easily and quickly while it feels like most of my countrymen I meet turn their noses up at me or are cold or boring motherfuckers.
