whiny entry tonight about having finally gotten got by covid. not only did i get pretty sick (i'm still recovering but my brain is way clearer tonight than it was earlier in the week, thank god) but i also missed literally all of the celebrations this weekend for my gf's birthday, which was yesterday. including celebrations i planned myself and had to cancel. wretched! awful! sad!! 

my mood is getting a little weird after so many days completely alone (i haven't even gone outside for more than a few seconds at a time since i think monday evening?? eek) but my spirits are rising since today i'm finally ending the day feeling better rather than worse. also my incredibly kind neighbor brought me fruit and juice and a few snacks in a little cooler ;__; she also offered to make me dinner but i felt guilty asking for help (this is a me problem) so i said no. though i probably should have said yes bc i bet it would have been delicious. maybe i will take her up on a meal tomorrow if i am still feeling this under the weather.

this week i watched a Lot of awful reality tv and read a bunch of fic and played many crossword puzzles and did just so much lying down. thankfully both of my jobs have been incredibly cool and supportive about everything especially since last minute time off is a little wonky in my line of work, so i'm grateful for that. gf and i will make plans next month to do our own celebration and that'll be nice too.

i don't have a ton to say with this update, i just wanted to show a sign of life since i have felt sooo disconnected from everything including my own brain for the last week. how are you doing! what's been going on!

Oh I am so sorry you finally got covid especially cause it sounds like you had a terrible case. I hope that you start feeling better very soon!

And now your GF will get extra birthday celebrations later, so that is good!

But I absolutely feel you: I ended up with covid for my best friend's moving away party. She was moving to England, it was her going away party, and I couldn't go. I was livid! At least I had a relatively mild case! It still sucked, though.

I'm certainly improving! Back at work as of a couple days ago, and while I still have to lie down for a bit between meetings (perks of work from home lol) I'm just glad to have something to do again, because boredom levels were getting critical. It's hard out here!!
