I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I think I will eventually catch it, and long covid is the only thing I really worry about.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

Man, my booster shot is making me feel like hot garbage today. I have chills, muscle aches, and a headache. I'm pretty sure I didn't feel this bad with either of the first 2 shots. Still, it's definitely a fair tradeoff for improved immunity.

I probably need to go get my booster. I've had the one J&J shot and the two Pfizer shots, but the booster can't hurt I suppose.

Our wings are not tired.

Why isn't everyone pelting me with JOY, dammit? - Zenkitty

Considering how long it's taking me to fully recover from my comparatively mild pneumonia, long covid has become a very real fear for me.

I've been boosted, but I'll take any updates they want to shove into a syringe. Surely one of them will get the 5G working.

I hope the fire's out now, Tom. That's pretty close.

Hi Karl!

Yikes Tom! I would not want roasting marshmallows by holding them out my window to be a feature of my apartment.

Timelies all!

Happy Birthday Consuela!

It is also Gary's birthday, though we are not doing anything special tonight.

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

My very healthy aunt is in the hospital with a perforated colon! Me being me wants to get out to her and start bossing people around, but she is in a local to her rural hospital. That is good because our hospitals are overrun with Covid, but bad for me flashing my school of nursing badge to talk to the doctors. It sounds like if Maria and my mom and I go to visit, only one of us can go in per day, not per visit?
