First week of the year was a fucking wash and I’m still very much not right
I was all “I feel better enough to go back to work and it’ll be fine” because we only get a week off without a doctors note and I uh... maybe need to sign up for one of those here still

And I managed!!! I did two days of work and I didn’t actually cry in the bathroom on either of them so my one New Year’s resolution to not allow work stress to get to me like it did for a lot of 2023 is working out I guess

But I sure did tap out for 11 hours last night which meant I woke up well into the afternoon feeling very out of sync and that threw the whole day off so I guess we try again tomorrow on the RP front

I changed the sickness bedding and washed it in antibac and sprayed down the mattress and pillows and duvet so the germs are well and truly banished and I actually cooked a dinner instead of putting something in the air fryer or oven

But that absorbed my whole bandwidth for the day

Air fryer and oven totally counts.

i''m glad you're feeling better!

samame: well it kept us fed but I missed cooking and I had veg that was gonna have to be thrown out if it didn’t get used!

spiciest: thank you! I wish I wasn’t so exhausted but at least the vertigo is mostly gone coz fuck that for a symptom

You domestic goddess. When I make dinner it's like, do we have pasta? Do we have frozen foods? Do we have cheese and bread? Do we have canned soup? If none of those check out, we're screwed.

samame: I made pasta, admittedly, but it was served with sautéed Halloumi and tomatoes and green beans

I don't even know what Halloumi is

samame: I’m so sad for you, it’s really good cheese

that sounds so good, halloumi is the bomb

metalheads: it was delicious I was very pleased even if it did take the remaining bits of my energy

you've earned some rest for sure

I am sorry your energy seems so low, for your sake, but glad you seem to be on the mend. Only hope it continues and get a little faster, at that.

metaljean: thank you 🥺 I did feel very lethargic for at least two weeks the first time, I’m just miffed it’s when I want to have enough brain to RP because I’ve got tags to do and things to start but no, couch and YouTube cooking shows was all I had the energy for once life admin was very slowly completed

sometimes that's how it goes. I'm sorry because it's always frustrating when you want to do certain things, but it doesn't pan out for one reason or another

metaljean: I’m slightly less mad now I’m lying down in clean sheets that don’t smell like fever at least lmao

oh, I bet.

clean sheets best sheets, so commfy

Cold, moody, cannot wait until the last of the germy garbage leaves my system and I feel less tired and goopy

samame: my mood might change once I eat but we’ll see

Fingers crossed.

My mum is coming over at the end of the month 🥺 the worst thing about Christmas retail is not spending it with her so I’m super pleased she’s coming here soon

Mum!

Still feeling icky but we’re seeing Bring Me The Horizon tonight and I’m determined to enjoy it

good luck! I hope you can enjoy it! You deserve something good.

metaljean: thank you 💕 I’ve loved them since I was a teenager and we saw them at a festival two years ago and Bea decided she loves them too so I’ve been excited since summer!!!!! I refuse to be too sick for fun it would be so unfair

Understandable. And that's...too long to be excited not to go

Work took me out so bad yesterday but today!!!! Today I’m going to do some tags with the boys

I did end up putting in a hiatus at the city and I explained that I’m not well and I might make AC but I don’t wanna risk not doing

yeah, that sounds safest. hiatus, then if you make AC, you're good, but it takes off that pressure.

metaljean: exactly!! I have so many backtags that need doing that won’t count for AC and I’ve let them pile up too

ooof, yeah, might as well do something to help with that, first.

Uuuugh today is Not Good
Can’t wait for it and tomorrow to be over so I can hang out with my mum and not be in work for three days

unwisewizard:

Work sucked and I’ve pulled something in my shoulder and it hurts so bad I almost cried so I’m in the worst mood

Currently on the couch trying to balance a hot water bottle on where it hurts to ease the pain

Ouch

samame: it’s so painful, I have no idea what I did but it feels like my arm is falling off

Noooo

samame: I’m the moodiest about it

Just tell people it's a sex injury.

samame: lmfao I could but considering that we’re both still really gunky and coughing I doubt it’ll be believable

That's why you had to get creative!

The bad mood and shoulder pain persists but so do I

Might see if I can get the big boy painkillers from Tesco later because I want to do Kobys tags goddamnit I love the boy and his current CR

The mood not only persists but gets worse

Mums gone home so we went to lunch and to run some errands so I wasn’t a total baby about it for once

Payday sushi ✨

Heck yeah is that inari sushi?

spiciest: yeah!!! It’s my fave, that and avocado maki

I love it! Enjoy!
