What made you unhappy today?

[OpenMaw]

Guess who has gone and got covid after just having had the flu? I'm sick of these last 6 weeks.

Mucinex is your friend sir. Each time I had COVID Mucinex, multi-vites, and lots of fluids.



So tonight my littlest, oldest boy ferret "Taz" died. It was not a quiet death either. I held him as he wheezed, cried, shuddered and finally let go. With everything else that's been going on lately I have not yet been able to cry or express any real grief. I'm like Riggs in Lethal Weapon after Murtaugh and him have their fight in the restaurant "I'm gonna go get something to eat." I just feel a malaise. Systems overloaded.

I'm sorry to hear that mate.

Taking all the flu and cold stuff, and drinking sooooo much. It's not hitting my like it has my mrs - she's having all the pains and etc - but it's mostly just making me even more tired and giving me a very runny nose.

I honestly don't think I've ever had flu.

Or if I have, it was so mild I didn't notice.

Probably been lucky and not had it then. Genuine influenza (as opposed to "a flu") really kicks your ass, it's not like the common cold at all in my experience.

[Corporal Hicks]

My taste has really dulled. Not entirely gone, but not far off it.

[PredBabe]

Hope you feel better, Corporal! I just got over COVID a couple weeks back myself.

It was my first time having it and I lost my taste and smell for 3 days and the chest pains were pretty scary to experience. Fun way to spend my birthday, followed by having to put my kitty to sleep due to liver failure. Then hurricane Ian hit... and now just starting to get settled into the new place after moving this weekend. It's been an exhausting few weeks- to say the least (emotionally, physically and financially).

So one of my neighbours had to stash his truck in my driveway today because of the mayhem going on in his part of the street after an old fella died and all the vultures showed up. Problem is, that blocked in our car, so we've been driving his vehicle today, and riding shotgun repeatedly in that means my clothes and hair stink of dog. I'm really not used to that, and it's making me feel ill even after a change of clothes, I think I'll have to shower to be fully rid of it. I don't know how you pooch owners do it.

Some dogs stink more than others!

This one isn't even especially odorous usually, but that seat has infested me with the hair curling stench of ten Mordors. Nobody else seems to notice though, so I assume it's a "me" problem.

Had seen the NECA Prowler figure on some UK based websites so was hoping it might actually be in the geek shop I go to sometimes. Went with my birthday pennies in hand to find it not there.

That old familiar "existential dread and sense of impending doom" feeling has crept back into my head over the last week or so. I've been doing really well recently in that regard, to the point I didn't notice it slowly leaving and had actually forgotten about it entirely til now. Hopefully I'll be too busy for it again soon but for now, it's a doozy.

^ Definitely can relate

Still getting to me quite badly. I guess it's because I'm stuck in a bit of a limbo waiting to hear from the bank (been waiting a week for a call back from the time they said it'd be, and keep getting the run around when we chase it up) before I can pull the trigger on what I feel I should be doing, and I'm too stressed out to really do any of the creative things I normally kill time with.

[Master Chief]

Since your bank is giving you the runaround, I'd start off by filing a complaint, but not directly to them (from the sound of it, contacting them directly won't help). Here in California, I'd go to the Department of Financial Protection and Innovation. Not sure where you're located, but I'm sure there is something similar.

6 stillbirths out of 7 today.
