I had to do client counseling for a euthanasia today at the vet clinic while extremely delirious with a fever and I am pretty sure I fucked it up

#vet clinic #cw: death #cw: animal death #just. hmmm.#i might have seemed super drunk. which is not a good way to come off at a euth in general #never want to do that again #i am sitting here staring up at the ceiling like. wow. did I traumatize that family #either that or they didn't notice a darn thing.#people tend to be out of it themselves #but the lady kept apologizing to ME that I had to go over legal details and grief counseling with HER so um. hm.#OH BY THE WAY I DO NOT HAVE COVID #THE FEVER IS BECAUSE I HAVE A RAGING EAR INFECTION #because of my stupid fucked up ears #I am seeing an urgent care doc tomorrow #I wouldn't go to work with covid

KARASU SAYS

[Image ID: an illustration of Karasu from Yu Yu Hakusho, glaring while two of his bat-winged-eye bombs fly near his shoulders. In place of his typical mask, he is wearing an N95-rated one. Along the top and bottom of the image, in allcaps, is the text: "wear a fucking mask; yes this is a threat."]

HI I'M TIRED

You don't know if a place you're going is gonna have someone high-risk there (because some disabilities are invisible), and folks can be contagious without showing symptoms, and long covid can absolutely fuck you up, SO PROTECT YOURSELF AND THOSE AROUND YOU ANY TIME YOU GO OUT WITH A WELL-FITTED MASK, PLEASE

Also please heckle the CDC/local politicians/etc. if you can, to get them to implement better protections because layering multiple methods is more effective than trying to rely on just one. (Yanno like scientifically appropriate isolation length instead of ONE FUCKING DAY, paid time off so folks don't have to weigh safety against finances, better filtration indoors, etc.)

#my art #fanart #rebelle #karasu #yu yu hakusho #covid 19 #mask up #wear a mask #I'm rewatching YYH #I'll draw Hiei and Kurama eventually I'm sure #I drew them so much in high school I can draw them from memory easily #(even though it's been...almost two decades...? since I've done more than a post-it doodle)#but this Karasu meme came to me first #I actually did use two N95s (cutting the second to be the sides) to make a closet Karasu cosplay in high school #painting them makes the filtration useless #so that wouldn't be suitable for going out #but there's some styles with slight grooves along the front that work quite well as his mask

And now I'm spending my day making a bunch more shadowing audio files which is boring af but it seems to be the most effective learning strategy for me I've come across so far.

#chough chatterings #the walking around listening and parroting stuff that is #not the process of making audio files #it's basically hacking the time where i normally wouldn't be able to study effectively #ie when walking to work or on the train or at the supermarket or at the office etc #not that i parrot on the train. i just mouth words to myself. but i wear a mask so no one can see and no one knows lmao #other people think it's bc i'm conscious of covid but nope! i'm just conscious of looking like i escaped from the asylum again #not spreading potential covid is a bonus though #can't wait for autumn when i can just walk around for hours #i feel like i need to use the rest of summer (while it's too hot to go walking) to prepare as much audio content for autumn me as possible

i have lies of p and ff 16 installed and ready to go so i can do something mildly enjoyable my last few days before the school/work death spiral starts up again and instead i'm just sitting here refreshing Webbed Sites and watching nothing interesting appear like

#quite predictably i did in fact get sick at the 3 day long work training held during a massive covid/flu surge #i was masked except for meal/photo times and am up to date on vaccinations tho so thankfully it's just a mild cold #but i'm just sort of tired and unable to focus on anything #honestly tho they could have easily done all those presentations over Teams and been done a lot earlier :/#the weather was really bad the first couple of days too and i know a lot of commuters would have really appreciated doing it virtually #but i guess that wouldn't have let us do all our ~fun~ icebreaker and ~team building activities~!#idk Employer Mandated Socializing and Fun Times just inherently irritate me on a cellular level #tell me how you want a job done and then let me go do it #having us write a group poem about our department for arbitrary points accomplishes literally nothing but wasting all our time #kathryn vs higher education #assorted work nonsense

i love not knowing if i'll ever be healthy again i love all of the time i've used to move my body become nothing i love spending my adulthood wasting away year after year for various reasons baby!

#i know i'm being dramatic and privileged etc etc right now but i hate living like this #i probably had covid in the beginning of august and since then my heart and lungs have just been fucked #so now i'm probably looking at at least 2 years of long covid and maybe permanent neurological damage #could i be lucky and get better in few more months? maybe. do i believe that will happen? no. optimistically maybe next summer id be better #my symptoms are not that bad considering what i know other people have suffered but at the same time that makes it feel not real #otherwise i'm pretty much fine except i feel like fainting alot after standing up or excerting myself and anything beyond walking #spikes my hr to 160 and right now even laying down my hr is around 80. this comes with the associated shortness of breath etc #what fucks me up about this is that my normal hr is low with my rhr being under 50bpm and i'm physically active #so basically i've went from regular running and half marathons being no issue to not being able to jog 1km at the slowest pace possible #without spiking my hr to zone 4 #so now with the recovery time of this being however long if properly ever i'll have to basically start all over again with everything #i biked to the grocery store yesterday and that took me out for the rest of the day because my heart rate just didn't go down afterwards #outwards i look fine and i wouldn't be as affected if sports and moving wasn't a part of my life and relationships but it is #i've read studies about recovery times and a lot of them don't feel applicable because the test groups are either very different from me #based on the baseline health info such as activity levels or they're elite atheletes which i am not #some have given me hope that keeping my hr under like 130 by doing activities like walking until maybe someday things get better works #but who knows and even if it does this will be yet another thing that takes the littlest bits of muscle tissue i have on me away once again #because besides deconditioning muscle loss is yet another symptom. so i will be even weaker than i am right now #i don't know how much of what i'm experiencing in terms of mental effects is from anxiety over my physical health and how much is brainfog #but we'll see i'll just have to start walking a lot every day and keep up with simple and slow strenght training so i'll want to die less #i don't think my family will ever properly understand because almost all of them are athletes and the one who isn't never does any excercis #so either i just look like i'm weak but i was always weak so it's not a big deal or my experience isn't really that important #this is so so so pathetic both my reaction and the issue but it's difficult to not feel this way especially with the uncertainty #shit talking

speaking of being slow. i wish i was a faster writer. i can write and i can write well, but it takes me significantly longer than nearly everyone i know. i just cannot get words out as easily as other people seem to and it is so frustrating all the time. i am working on editing my resume right now for applications. this is the third day i have worked on it. all i have needed to do this entire time is change the format to fit grad school rather than a job and add my recent work history. this isn't even two pages long. i have been working on it for 3 and 1/2 hours tonight and it's still not done. ITS NOT EVEN 500 WORDS APPARENTLY. i want to cry

#it doesn't help that the vast majority of my friends are writers or english or lit or poli sci majors #my sister did pr and communications #everyone was always writing papers and presentations and speeches #i VIVIDLY remember my last semester at college sitting down with my sister to do work #cause we were home from covid. and in the several hours we were sitting there she got a seven page paper done #and i didn't even finish one page #i just cannot write the way other people around me seem to be able to #i dont know why it is so much harder for me than other people #i always felt bad when i did group projects because i would be working as hard as i could... and i just wouldn't finish the same amount #as the other people because i just couldn't make the right words that fast #and i am already stressing about it for grad school because everyone talks about how grad school is so paper and presentation focused #people say its easier because you dont have to do worksheets or tests and instead you just have to write #(and im doing a thesis masters so i will have to WRITE)#but... the worksheets and problems and tests are what i am good at #that is what comes naturally to me. noticeably so.#but writing??? i am going to struggle #and i already know it. as always..... why am i doing this again?#why do i think i am going to be good enough for this?? hahaha #god i just need to get this resume done so i can start the painful process of writing my personal statement

just found out that my office mate tested positive for covid today.... she legit came into work sick and wouldn't wear a mask so i'm gonna throw hands if i get covid because she wouldn't call out or wear a mask.

#personal posts #like i will actually throw hands because my older brother has a heart problem and covid nearly killed him when he got it #also my boss lives with her parents (she's trying to buy a house) and her mom literally has cancer #MIND YOU MY OFFICE MATE KNOWS THESE THINGS #yet she still wouldn't wear a mask #she exposed pretty much everyone on campus and i'm PISSED #i literally have an event after work and i might not get to go do stuff like i had planned due to her negligence

Unstoppable force (I wanna make a ttrpg campaign I wanna make it so bad it would be so cool) vs immovable object (any time I see a rulebook or a form of literally any kind it makes me hiss and spit and have a furious panic attack and never touch it ever again)

#i want. to run a campaign set in a haunted funfair #where all the characters are just pitched as like. kids who like the funfair #theyve got like some discrete personal goal like maybe they all want to like. collect a rare prize. impress a cute girl. hide from bullies.#look im rereading It okay you get the vibes #and I wanna get them all pressing for those goals and just dial up the horror underneath it all #like one day a bunch of folk get sick with food poisoning from eating the definitely 100% pork #that definitely doesnt have a human fingernail in it #another day they might win a prize thats like. a cool hat with the name of a kid who died last year written on the band inside #and like. just drop little hints in there while running it as a regular funfair and social interaction game #and maybe they slowly realise that half the staff that work there are. dead. and the guy who runs it is like a vampire or something #but i looked at the fate accelerated rulebook - possibly the single easiest and most flexible system -#and i opened the character sheet pdf and went i think i hauve covid and had to go for a walk so i wouldn't kill my laptop in self defense

i'm going to fucking kill someone. i got screamed at & called selfish & stupid for telling my mom to wear a mask. she gave me covid

#& you wanna know the kicker? she's going on a vacation. yeah. she's going on a plane right now while badly sick with covid #how do i communicate with people who are literally missing their brain?#it was my sister who screamed at me btw. she feels the need to play devil's advocate whenever i open my mouth #my mom did what she always does & coughed 17 times without covering her mouth & then sat down in the livingroom to doomscroll for 7 hours #what the actual fuck is it with parents & not covering their mouths when they cough or sneeze? they straight up just spray people with covi #& then laugh about it when you point it out as if spreading the fucking plague is funny #best part is that we're pretty sure her getting covid 5 times a year because she refuses to wear masks killed her husband #not joking about that btw. all she had to say oh ''ooh yeah that would explain it''#like ??????????????????????#i didn't get the chance to go grocery shopping either so now i dont have any fresh food #if i have to eat one more frozen or processed meal i'm gonna fucking kill someone. & now i cant do that because i have basic empathy #i don't even feel right ordering food cuz like. i have to interact with someone to do that (can't pay online)#i avoid covid for this long & then get it because ''people look at you weird if you wear masks. you wouldn't get it''#bitch i'm queer. i wear queer pins. i wear a queer jacket. you're telling ME i wouldn't get receiving weird looks???#god my sister wants to be oppressed so fucking bad. i'm sorry but bitch isn't a slur & you're a fucking coward for not wearing masks #i hope you cant fucking work for weeks because of this bullshit. bitch

guess who managed to get pneumonia on top of covid 🙃

#text posts by thea #honestly the irony would be delicious if this is the thing that takes me out #anyway #i'm doing ok all things considered #no hospital yet just loads of meds and then we'll see how things are on friday #it's funny though cause that means the covid infection i had when vaccines weren't available yet was milder than this one even though I'm #double vaxxed and boosted #then again last time i didn't force myself to go to work three days into the infection even though i was feeling rough just so #i wouldn't disappoint people :)#(didn't know i had covid btw otherwise i wouldn't have gone and risked people)#academia is deadly friends

today has been a really long and incredibly stressful day and my dad's okay now, but my mom had to take him to the ER tonight because he's been having some issues and needed to get checked out and he also fell today so they went and did that

as soon as they get back and were trying to get into the house i guess the last of my dad's energy just gave out and he just kinda sunk down to his knees and then slowly slid onto the floor and neither of us could get him up

we tried to help him grab onto his wheelchair and work with him but he just couldn't do it and neither of us were strong enough to lift him without making things worse

our family friend is out of town and my mom tried calling another friend but nobody was able to come so we had EMS come out and thankfully two guys were able to lift him into his chair and help us get him into bed and settled

he's finally resting after a long, long fucking day and my mom's going to take off work tomorrow so she can be with him

i am...beyond exhausted so i am also going to go to sleep and hope to god tomorrow's a better day

#he got a new oxygen machine recently and we're wondering if maybe the level is too high now #she's going to talk to one of his doctors tomorrow and see what he says #but with his condition and everything it's possible that's what's the cause is because ever since we got that thing #it's like he's been going downhill where he had just started to make a turn around #and they did a bunch of lab work and stuff on him tested him for covid and everything and he's not sick #but he's just been acting bizarre lately and then everything today #he also slept a lot yesterday almost like he was in a coma #i kept checking on him and even tried to wake him up a few times #because at that point i was worried he wouldn't sleep through the night and i know that throws him off #but he was dead asleep and normally he's not like that #so i dunno #all i know is i've been scared out of my fucking wits multiple times today #and have cried a shit ton #and just...yeah #oh also when they went to the er i stayed behind to hold down the fort and take care of the pupper #so i thought okay let me go get in the pool for a little bit to decompress and calm down #should be fine it's been sunny all day long #wouldn't ya know it a fucking storm started blowing in right as i got in the water #but that's fine #i got in for a few minutes at least and that helped #and now i'm gonna sleep and that'll help too #and tomorrow's going to be a different fucking day than this one and that's all i can ask for

coughing up a lung this evening and I stg if I've caught covid from my parents i'll be so mad (mum: still testing positive on day 16; dad: only on day 8 but wearing masks and distancing but i remain unconvinced by their ventilation strategies)

#i have been wearing masks to work for MONTHS and they go to carol services and awards ceremonies without masks #and then express dismay that i #their immunocompromised youngest child #might be alone at christmas yet again bc of covid #but the strategy to avoid that was to wear the masks and not catch covid! ffs!#i shouldn't really have come home but my house was so depressing :/#saw a lot of other family yesterday too but if I'd caught it from them it wouldn't have shown up yet #anyway this might be a stress cough because i am indeed stressed #I'll do a covid test in the morning #but regardless of the cause of it... it's a miserable cough #personal

looking at changkyun london tickets and they're so much cheaper than i expected

#lex waffles #maybe it's because it's a solo tour rather than mx tour #me debating whether to go or to get tickets to tbz in september which go on sale tomorrow or both or neither #like usually i wouldn't be able to go to a friday concert because of work but i'll be off work and changkyun is my bias #but i haven't been to a concert since pre-covid and anxiety #also part of me feels like my first concert after covid needs to be svt because that was the concert i was supposed to go to when covid hit #but it got cancelled obviously :(

One of the other things that stopped me from perusing college was that by the end of my schooling I felt so very stupid and that I was lacking core skills and I'd flunk out of college. Which I couldn't necessarily do in highschool

#elias howls #is this true? a little bit. yeah.#especially considering that during the last 3 years of hs I was online (even before covid) and I truly learned nothing those 3 years and sti #ll was suffering immensely #It DID teach me that if I do ever go back [into education] that I cannot do online courses. I need that typical classroom setting #still thinking abt my gpa all the time. it was abysmal. I think if I had been in my public hs they wouldn't have let me graduated because it #would've been too low #idk. its... frustrating to think about because I had a really clear downfall in relation to school. I went from being an award earning stude #nt for near perfect grades to a d/c student. but nobody checked in. I guess I just hid it that well.#you could tell in my work I think though that I just didn't care anymore. I was so tired by softmore year. none of my essays had any passion #in them. i didn't take any notes. (i was never taught how to properly take them anyway). never studied (wasn't ever taught to study). I was #on autopilot #i do try to be kind to myself and all that but like. I do absolutely constantly feel stupid and that I didn't really earn my degree. but i a #lso know any more years in highschool and I really would've have a breakdown.#still. with certain people I hate talking because as soon as I have to say I didn't go to college I know I'm instantly less to them. I'm jus #t some stupid person. especially if I dare to say I'm currently job searching.

#i am BEYOND pissed at my coworkers for coming into work super sick and not taking ANY precautions #two of them were so sick last weekend that i just KNEW i wouldn't be able to avoid catching something #and here i am! riddled with illness!#i have been writhing in pain for DAYS #about 90% sure i've got covid #my partner is picking up a rapid test kit on his way home bc we had run out and forgot to restock #i am just fucking FURIOUS that the people i work with are so careless!!!!#my one coworker had to sit out half her shift bc she needed to keep ice on her head for her fucking fever!#and management looks down on people calling in sick #so they sure as shit rarely send people home for being sick #i'm lucky i had booked a few days off after a minor medical procedure i had on monday #otherwise i would've been anxious as shit about calling in #as it is i am supposed to go back to work on saturday and i am genuinely concerned i won't be able to #and saturdays are our busiest days #so fml if i have to try to call in #i could also barely afford to take time off for my procedure but it was necessary #i just can't afford to miss more work i seriously can't i'm barely going to make rent this month #and stressing about that is probably not gonna help me get better 🙃#i just feel like crying but i keep stifling it because crying rn exacerbates all my symptoms to an unmanageable level #and this already feels stupid levels of unmanageable #personal
