Hmm good to know re omicron symptoms.

I am annoyed because I have now lost two evenings in a row—Monday night because insomnia only got me 4 hours of sleep the night before and I was woozy and went to bed early and last night a migraine! Grump grump grump. I got a box of blue apron and didn’t have the energy to start it, nor have I gotten to play with my new pressure washer!

~ma for the guinea pigs! And more health~ma for you, Hec. I hope you kept your sense of taste!

Hmm good to know re omicron symptoms.

I should say that everyone I know *who was vaccinated* who got Omicron got the buckets of snot. I don't know about people who weren't vaccinated. I feel comfortable saying that, comparing getting Covid in 2022, post-vaccination, with getting Covid in 2021, before vaccines were available, the difference is HUGE. In retrospect, I think we were a lot sicker in 2021 than I assumed we were. It really demonstrates that vaccines are absolutely effective in their goal of preventing severe illness. If the vaccine can make Covid an inconvenience rather than a potentially disabling or deadly illness, then I say bring on the needles.

I know this is anecdotal, but everyone I know who's gotten Omicron (including Tim and me) had the buckets of snot for a few to a several days, a minor sore throat, and headaches. No respiratory involvement, which is actually fantastic. It seems to be pretty easy to ride out, as long as you have a ton of kleenex.

That's exactly how it's going so far.

How did you like it?

Love it! Second viewing for me. We saw it in theaters pre-Omicron. Very different seeing it up close on a laptop. Lots of details I'm picking up.

Us too! I definitely need to rewatch because even as I was watching it in the theater I knew I was missing a ton of details. I was expecting it to get more award nominations.

David hope this is mild. And that the guinea pigs are ok.

Oh at the new Chez Zmayhem there will more space for guinea pigs too.

Thanks for the encouragement everyone.

Today is calm and I finally was able to figure out more about my right eye. It was bothering me again and if I cover one eye and look at something about mid distance its easier for me to tell what is wrong. I have double vision and my eye won't stay focused when it's like this. It just wants to kind if close. But my eye isn't like that all the time. Since I haven't heard from the nurse again I'm going to call her and ask if there is an eye doctor I can see or do I need to wait for the neurologist.

Also I probably need a new prescription but I want to wait until I get the injury part figured out.

Teppy fair enough, but Im vaxxed and all my friends are vaxxed so I don’t care what symptoms are for unvaxxed! (I do have one friend who only got the first dose because it triggered some bad autoimmune stuff she’d been dealing with, but she basically doesn’t go out now, I haven’t seen her in months and months and feel bad for her)

We'll be getting a dog when we get into the new place!

ETA: and the piggies will get a new, bigger cage/space.

Like this?

I genuinely gasped with excitement when I read this!
