(My bf's uncle, the one who drives me to work, caught covid. I'm going to get the test once my bf wakes up. I really hope what I've been experiencing is allergies and not symptoms. But... I may not be going to work for a while. I think they'll want me to stay home until I get the results back.)
hi besties… after avoiding covid literally this entire time, my boyfriend started having symptoms today
Thanks to the people who have sent me asks the past few days/weeks!
I’ll get to them soon I promise, I haven’t been well the past few weeks (had some setbacks emotionally, and at the same time had to deal with COVID which left me sicker than expected, though thankfully I’m recovered from that by now)
I’ve been very overwhelmed recently, both with good and bad things so I haven’t had the spoons to properly answer those asks, thanks for your understanding and I hope to get to them soon!
Hope you're feeling ok!
I quite enjoyed being a little delirious with my covid but fingers crossed you're done with it quickly :)
Aww ty i just saw this. I'm doing a whole lot better and I'm FINALLY able to spend time with my bf. I missed him sm. The first 2 days were god awful but now I only got a cough, no fever or anything. And the doctor said I was no longer contagious. So yay!
ok awesome sonow there’s going to be 2 pandemics. cool. well i guess it is time to give up on having a future
We're still in a pandemic whether or not you want to believe it
i've been extremely sick this week, as well as taking care of a couple members of my family who have c*vid, so replies will be slow. i will try to get through my messages this weekend at some point as well as start/continuing work on commissions.
….so i am 99% sure i have covid so that’s upsetting and i feel like shit but i still have to work tomorrow because i don’t have a test and have to grab one at the mall tomorrow.
Day 2 of having COVID 😷
I want to draw but I can’t really. I’m trying to limit social media use to try and rest. I have posts queued up until Tuesday or so
Cliff hangers are NOT my friend, and now all I have time to do is just fucking sob alone in my room because I have Covid and I can’t go to school 😤😭
I am so sorry you're having a hard time with work. If it's any consultation, I work at a nursing home, and we've had 4 covid outbreaks in my facility and have to get tested weekly. And I've had people in my family get covid twice. But I've been super careful and wore masks, gloves, and washed my hands like crazy, and I haven't gotten covid at all. So it's definitely not something that's inevitable, it's possible to not get it, even if you work with people who do. Just make sure to take the proper safety precautions, and remember to put your health (physical and mental) first and as your top priority. You've got this!!
Thank you, nonnie. Thank you thank you thank you!
Aaa a fellow nursing home worker!😭 My home tested twice a week anyway, but with the outbreak which started last week, they're asking us to test every shift (so for me that's three times a week) and reintroducing further tests which get sent off to labs and professionally analysed alongside the standard tests (so I do three lateral flow tests a week and one PCR). And, like you, my family have had covid once already and I was the only one who didn't get it.
I'm so sorry you're having these experiences, they're so scary and you're so brave to be able to face them. It's genuinely terrifying and I don't understand why people are acting like the pandemic is over or like covid isn't so serious anymore (my family fall into this and they keep saying I'm being irrational and????)... Compassion fatigue, for one. Being tired of the pandemic for another, all of which are valid and I understand them but. Facts are facts and we can't say they're not there just because we're tired. Obviously it's a more nuanced discussion than that but you know what I mean.
Masks, gloves and frequent handwashing is what I've been doing as well and so far, I've not had covid either. We're in this together, nonnie!!!!!💪
My family keep telling me I should "just let myself get covid because it has no guts now and it's just like a mild flu" and I'm like... FLU KILLS PEOPLE!!!! COVID IS SERIOUS!!!! PEOPLE ARE DYING!!!! WHY ARE YOU NOT AS SCARED AS ME???? They WERE until they got it themselves and now they don't care.😰
Thank you thank you thank you, truly, for the comfort and encouragement. I'm less white hot HOLY FUCK panic and more "okay this is bad but if I protect myself as best as I can, I'll be okay" with a lot of fear and anxiety. But the panic is out of my system now. I stood in the doorway last night after I came home and my mind was
Dirtydirtydirtydirtydirty
But I didn't know where to start until I just... disinfected all my bags, belongings in the bags, uniform in the wash, etc etc and eventually I got myself settled.😭 This whole thing has admittedly tipped me into being germaphobic and when I don't know what to do, I let it do the talking for me because right now there's no such thing as TOO safe.
I'm so proud of you nonnie, you're doing amazingly and I appreciate, deeply, your message! Knowing none of us are alone in this is a huge comfort. I worry immensely for myself as well as other people and I'd never forgive myself if I got people sick just because of my work situation. I worry for you and all the other essential workers.
Please please take care of you, nonnie, and know I'm always here if you ever want to vent or chat or anything!💜🫂💜
i love my mum and i get that she wants me to be more comfortable going out but she rsvp’d yes for something without talking to me about it (i was planning to drop off a gift but not stay b/c of the possible covid risk) and i’m just kinda. freaking out about it
OOC: I have a con this weekend that I'm supposed to go as uraraka and shigaraki (also a show of the band I love that I haven't seen in 10 years).
The con it's on the open (not the show) but I'm very very scared of co.vid. I haven't left my house for anything non essential since 2020. And I haven't even seen too much people at the same time since I stopped doing groceries myself on the end of 2020. My phobias are on the roof (and the fact that I have a 89 yo grandma is not helping me). It's not really safe to be next to a concentration of people (no, it's not). So my anxiety is acting up :')
Con: I got abruptly sick with what I hope is not Covid
Pro: I just?? randomly swallowed a pill for the first time in my life?? Like that’s something I’ve been struggling with forever and in a delirious state I just was like fuck it we ball??? I’m too tired to rly consider the fact that that’s a momentous occasion for me so
Fanart for @crystalninjaphoenix and @huffle-dork uwu
Was gonna make them all finished illustrations but I got lazy and gave up on the last one oops. Also I know my art style has changed a lot since last time I drew fanart for you guys so- hope you like it ig lol
bird updates: just did a covid test @ home after they didn’t do one at the doc, just to be sure, but that was negative. swell! regardless: i am sick with something. initial strep test also negative, but they’ve sent a culture out, and i’ve got bloodwork in for a mono lab.
if i have mono for a third time, though? i’m going to commit a felony.
