Both my roommates are sick. I'm not yet, but I'm not looking forward to my first cold in 20 months.
I've been sick all week and my roommate has been acting like it's a moral failing. It's not the first time I've been sick this year, but every time she looks at me like I need to be taken out back and shot.
They moaned and squealed, and pressed their snouts to the earth. We are sorry, we are sorry.
Sorry you were caught, I said. Sorry that you thought I was weak, but you were wrong.

My boss didn't come to work yesterday cause she's sick. I had to call in this morning. The shop ended up staying closed cause apparently all of us are sick. Not covid, there's just a really aggressive cold going around. My partner is down with it too. I think this is the first time I've been properly sick since February 2020. I did not miss it.

Ill for the first time in a long time. just a cold, methinks, but I shouldda kept isolated...
Every moment of a life is a horrible tragedy, a slapstick comedy, dark nihilism, golden illumination, or nothing at all; depending on how we write the story we tell ourselves.
A friend of mine recently got a cold - but it turned out to be covid after all. She has A-fib so thought it best to be tested. She's fully vaxxed, so I guess she's one of those breakthrough cases. That makes me really nervous.

There are a lot of breakthrough cases unfortunately. Most of my friends & acquaintances in the medical field have gotten covid both pre and post vaccination. Fortunately all pretty mild cases. Save one who miraculously hasn't gotten covid at all despite working in high risk settings.
My Dad has also gotten it twice now. Once prior to vaccination and once after being fully vaccinated. The second time, post-vaccination, has been worse than the first time but not severe enough to be hospitalized.
As a result of an accident I sustained an eye injury that resulted in a scratched cornea. -30/10, do not recommend, in case anyone was wondering. I'm feeling better now but it took the better part of a week to heal.

Glad to hear you're feeling better Juniper. I had a scratched cornea before. It hurt like hell and put me out of work for 2 days. I had worn one of my contacts over night and it scratched it. So it taught me a lesson and I haven't worn contacts since. However, I definitely am getting contacts soon and have learned my lesson. Prayers for your healing hon.

Yup - those are hellacious. I'm glad the worst is over!

I'm glad that you feel better Juniper. Praying if you want.

That is one of the reasons why I don't want to wear contact lenses.
I have a new job with Cracker Barrel. I have a major appeal going on with the SSA over my SSI and disability benefits. I have no issues over working. I love working, but having the benefits like Medicaid and Medicare helps cover my medicine and visits to the doctors. I need those benefits. So anyway I am glad that I finally have a new job. I will be working as a host. My mother also got a job. She is going to be a remote customer service representative. So we both will be working. I just feel blessed.
