Jan. 4th, 2025 12:51 amOne of the weirdest things about being in covidhell right at this transitional time is that I have no idea what day it is. I thought it was the second, I see from looking at the past-midnight clock that it is technically the fourth. Huh! Good job, self.
Today's accomplishment was watching like two entire seasons of Jet Lag. I also washed the dishes! That part was pretty good. And I unpacked my two big bags, which is to say mostly just moved stuff around in my room (dealing with clean laundry is definitely On The List) but they are considerably less packed. My backpack is not unpacked yet, but progress has been made.
And I rested, which is the thing you're really _really_ supposed to do when you have covid, because it fucks you up and everything I've seen everywhere suggests that exercising is going to fuck you up so much so fast. You know when this is going to be a problem? Arisia. This is going to be a huge problem at Arisia if it turns out I cannot do the late night club dancing, because I don't have a version of a life where I get to do that very often, and this is like...one of the only geek-safe opportunities for it, and *whinnnnes* if I'm not going to have access to it because I have to ~rest~.
Other things I am salty about:
*Paxlovid tastes like Sanbitter. It kicks in about half an hour after you take the pills, and lasts for...a while. I think I'm really glad to have immediately latched on to the fact that it's just sanbitter, because that makes it so much easier to handle, I can just pretend I drank a bunch of fancy Italian drink.
*My nose has been so runny and required so much wiping on my handkerchief that the skin around my nostrils has gotten suuuper chapped and sensitive. I tried rubbing a bunch of vasoline on it, which turned out to sting! but after a little bit it stopped stinging, and maybe it is helping, and certainly it's making my handkerchief all greasy. This is clearly some sort of success? Thanks, I hate it.
*My biggest symptom is boredom, I am so bored. It turns out that while I can easily kill six hours fucking around in my room playing video games or whatever, I can't do it on command. Tomorrow I have a meeting at tenAM (this is too early for meetings on a weekend, but whatever) and then I have nothing planned for the rest of the day except more rest. Maybe I will do some LEGO? Probably I will watch more JetLag out of the corner of my brain while playing extremely stupid phone games, like I did today.
*It's going to probably be hard to stop being quite so obsessed with stupid phone games when I return to a real life, but honestly maybe I will be sick of them by then.
*I have grading I should do but don't want to.
I've run out of things to write about, so I'm going to post this, and then just whine for the last 250 words or so. (I won't inflict that on yinz, I wasn't going to inflict this one, but halfway through I realized the security clearances were fine actually. Enjoy!)

MOOP!
