valkryorI am sick and tired of being sick and tired.
My lungs are weary and my ribs ache. I am also amazed and disgusted by the sheer volume of snot the human body can produce. My nose is also starting to take on a kind of Rudolf quality, though more raw than glowing. I also can't tell if there are seals in Hudson's Bay who are looking for a mate, or polar bears looking for an easy dinner. If it's the latter, then apologies to the zoo every time I cough.
I'm getting better? I'm not coughing as frequently or blowing my nose as often, although I have to be careful about laughing, chuckling, or giggling, as it will set off a fit.
Is it too much to want to get well so I can get my fucking flu shot and bivalent COVID booster? Or, you know, get well so I can be well for the holidays? I read an article recently where doctors noticed that when there are a lot of viruses going around, you tend to only get one at a time. And you know what? That's great, because who wants COVID and the flu at the same time. Shame that my immune system installed a gods-be-damned revolving door when I wasn't looking because this is bullshit.
I also decided to make fruit cake this year. I've not done so for a couple of years and it makes a good gift for people who like fruit cake. I went extra fance with the fruit (adding dried cherries and blueberries and cutting back on the raisins) and wow, I felt that. I usually get sticker shock at the Bulk Barn, but this hurt. I still had all of my birthday money and since I don't usually carry cash around, I used that. The fruit is getting all boozy and spicy in the fridge as I type this and the concoction smells DIVINE.
