Good luck!! Hopefully it’s nothing.

Always worth a look if you are genuinely concerned! My idiot was all floppy and slow once, so I went to the emergency clinic and he actually had a pretty high fever. They gave an injection and it was no joke as if someone had rebooted him, once home it was as if nothing had ever happened.

Finally am negative, I am free to fly the nest!!! I still have what I would describe as a head cold but other than that I am good to gooooooo! Time to reschedule everything I’ve had to cancel in the last two weeks and blow my calendar way out.

I thought most people (myself included) were into Doctor Who because it was camp…

Mine gets a bit floppy in the heat, but he’s stupid and seeks out the hottest parts of the house.
Instead of an ice cube like another comment said, I use a cool wet flannel and rub him down (being sure to get his face, pits, and paws) and I throw an ice cube or two in his water.

As if I haven’t loathed myself enough this past week and a bit, I have decided to rewatch Supernatural (might stop at season 7 where I think it should have ended) for the first time in like 6ish years.
Never forget flicking on the tiny CRT TV that had a weird pink tint in my bedroom late one night and scaring the pants off myself.

Bought some fish oil tablets, and covid addled me bought 400 instead 100 (or whatever it was supposed to be). I don’t even know what to do with 400 fish oil tablets…

I am eating chicken nuggets!!! I can not taste them and they are probably a terrible choice for my first solid food, but chicken nuggets!!!

I am caretaker free today, so I am donning a mask and gloves and taking care of myself. I am very curious to see how I go considering I’m going to attempt quite a few chores today.
My mouth and throat feel good today so I might have a go at some scrambled egg or something as well, exciting times!

Yeah would much rather everything taste like it’s been seasoned to resemble lava than it tasting like I picked it out of a bin.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 😎🌞Sun 14 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
I’ve googled and can’t find anything about it so I’m semi thinking it might be a mixture of covid and my ulcer meds doing a number on my taste buds.

I’m not sure, but I’ll let you know once I can have spicy food again. I’ll also add lots of sweet foods taste waxy at the moment as well, which is strange.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 😎🌞Sun 14 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Had a weird suspicion but tonights dinner of beef and vegetable soup confirmed it, all warm/hot food since catching covid tastes really spicy to me… While I like spicy food, having every meal be spicy is going to get old quickly, especially as I transition back to solids (yay ulcers finally healing!).

About to shave my beard off for the first time in years, being sick has made it go all weird and brittle and it’s massively irritating my skin so it’s got to go. At least I can’t go anywhere so no one has see me without it since it’ll grow semi back by the end of the week.

I’ve had both of those authors recommended to me before. I’ve been looking for my next read since I didn’t line anything up after an indugent reread of Phillip Pullmans’ series, so maybe I might make a start with those. In saying that I have a sneaky suspicion that I read The Latchkey Kid by Forrester many moons ago.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎵🎶Sat 13 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Yes!! All of those are so good, espcially Lark Rise and ACGAS (both versions, although the new one kinda wins out by a little because I love Anna Madley, Samuel West, and Callum Woodhouse) just so fkn cosy, they make me feel all warm and toasty inside.
You’ve probably seen it, but The Durrells is 10/10 period drama, everything about it is excellent!
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎵🎶Sat 13 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Yes! I originally tuned in for Maxine Peake but soon found myself really sucked into it. Sort of reminded me of Home Fires which was brilliant (still mad they cancelled it)!
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎵🎶Sat 13 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Kinda wanky but I’ve been watching lots of POV hiking vids which has semi helped.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎵🎶Sat 13 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Awww this is so sweet, thank you! But apart from being bed ridden I am also on a completely liquid/puree diet, covid decided to decimate every inch of me in retaliation for missing it for so long, and as a result my mouth is a giant ulcer fest.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎵🎶Sat 13 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Oh, I am still very much visibly and physically sick, and would not have a good time if I left my bed. But just having the option to make my own food and leave my bedroom if I wanted to would be nice.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: 🎵🎶Sat 13 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
No idea why I thought it’d be different, but I did my 7 day covid retest and it was instantly positive, like the minute the liquid hit the little thingy.
Really just want the contagious window to end so I can start taking care of myself and leave my bedroom, seven days is a long time to be stuck in a shoebox of a bedroom, even if I can’t do much with myself.

The Bicentennial Trail is super interesting, as someone who has driven to Cooktown (and beyond) from Melbourne the thought of walking there is absolutely insane. You’d definitely experience some insane weather and landscape changes.
The Pacific Crest is the dream, the cost and prep makes my fall out my skull though.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Fri 12 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Both are on my bucket list! There’s also the Larapinta Trail which I think can take about a month. I honestly don’t think I could deal with the constant heat of hiking through Central Australia.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Fri 12 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Probably not straight away, but very much as soon as the long covid risk is gone absolutely!
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Fri 12 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Being hulled up in my room unable to move has had me homesick for the outdoors for the last couple of days, so I’ve been watching someone hike the Appalacian Trail in the US and its so soothing. Also really wish we had more stuff like that here, I mean we have some long hikes but nothing like some of the ones they have over there.

Mother has advise she will be stopping by to drop off some things and to make sure I am still alive. Not going to lie even if I can only stare at her from a distance I think it will be nice for my brain.
Also on a high note, I opened my curtains a little bit today for the first time Sunday and have cracked the window for a little fresh air. Still feel disgusting, and it appears my immune system is non-existent as I break out in all sorts of things, but at least I have some freshness coming at me.

Thought I’d give the housemate a break from making my meals since I still can’t touch any shared spaces, so I ordered some lunch with enough leftovers for tea and jesus fkn christ it’s highway robbery out there.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Mon 08 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
This covid shit is no fkn joke, it’s absolutely gutted me, its kind of scary. The fatigue is also something I’ve never felt before, I’m awake for 30mins tops, and then I’m out again until I wake myself from sweating through everything.
- Comment on Daily Discussion Thread: Sun 07 Jan 2024 5 months ago:
Well after all this time, I have caught covid. I’m sooooo fkn sick it’s insane, if my teeth aren’t chattering with the fever I’m just crying.
