I've been trying to force myself into doing my hobbies in the hopes I'll enjoy them again.

Well, I got up at 5 to finish getting ready for my mock trial for this clinic I've been attending. I got back to my hotel around 3:30 and took a nap.

I found out from my mother that there are supposed to be tornadoes on Monday on my route home, so I'm planning to make the entire 9 hour drive tomorrow. So I'm resting the rest of today other than packing.

A depressive mood has gripped me and all I can do is remind myself that I have a choice (that can be made with medications) to be either a) depressed or b) anxious, and anxiety is worse.

I slept away half of it, then got upset stomach right after dinner. You tell me how it went.

I can't figure out if the vax side effects wore off early this time, or if it's just that my usual symptoms are so overwhelming that I'm not noticing little things like crushing fatigue or a slight fever or muscle aches.

Also the fic I posted that I thought was going to piss people off apparently didn't (yet), so that's good. :D

Was this your 2nd vax or the booster, and was it the same brand you got before? (Not that it really matters, I'm just nosy.)

I got 2 Pfizers and a Moderna. The 2nd Pfizer had the worst side effects as far as fever/fatigue went. The booster didn't really come with any of those side effects, but did come with the worst arm pain. Like, all the joints in that arm hurt for a week. The first year the flu vax had the swine flu added in did the same thing to my joints. Autoimmune disorders run in my family and I'm pretty sure I'm going to end up pulling the RA straw.

2nd Pfizer shot. The first one seemed to hit me "like a normal person", with just a couple days of being really achy and not wanting to move, and my shoulder was a little more achy than the rest of me. This one, I was fine until I went to bed that night, and "Well if I get no side effects this time, that'll be okay by me!"

Then woke up after a couple hours with my shoulder in so much pain I couldn't find a position that was comfortable, and trying to lift a glass to take a drink was nearly unbearable, plus I had that skin-crawly feeling that suggests I had a fever. All of Friday I was pretty much flat, no muscle aches but the shoulder, but just horrible fatigue, and had to really psyche myself up to even roll over to type on the laptop or get a drink. Then pretty much passed out for 7 hours and woke up with indications I'd had a fever and it broke (I never sweat except when that's going on), and was instead flattened all day today by the usual GI nonsense. Which was so bad I might not have noticed anything else. :P

Two Pfizers and a Moderna or vice versa seems to be the best way to go for maximum protection, and minimum side effects as a bonus, so if this lasts long enough, that's what I'll be doing too. Apparently "covid arm" is a thing that happens with Moderna - a friend got her fourth shot (second booster) not long ago and she said that she had really bad arm pain and welts with the first couple, but then started switching arms every time and it never happened again. So that sounds like a plan.

Yeah, I definitely got covid arm with the Moderna, but didn't really get the fever/crappy 'coming down with something' feeling. The joint pain just seems to be how my body processes weird immune stuff, but since rheumatoid arthritis flare-ups are one of the actual documented rare side-effects of the mrna vaccines it does make me a little nervous for what the future holds for me.

Ugh, yeah. That's not a great omen to have. :/ Kind of similar, I was worried my side effects were going to manifest as GI disturbances (since covid itself sometimes manifests as a GI illness) in me because well, pretty much everything does. As unpleasant as it was, I feel like I dodged a bullet.

Oof. I had honest-to-god food poisoning earlier this year and took a covid test just to make sure it wasn't some weird manifestation of covid. I have serious paranoia about giving covid to someone else because I don't know I have it. That was actually food poisoning though, which I also don't wish on anyone.

Yeah, one of the people I know, she and her boyfriend had to duck out of a dance competition because he had "food poisoning" in mid-2020 and I was like "....Hmmm..." and eventually since it didn't let up for several days, she took him to the hospital. I was not surprised at the results. :/

All the more reason I just stayed isolated all this time. I've been phobic of GI illnesses since I was young... turns out it might have been self-preserving instinct since every time I've had one, it's followed by a massive symptom flare that is worse with each incarnation and lasts years. (11 years running with the current one.) I'd really rather wind up on a respirator but that couldn't be guaranteed.

Glad to hear that about your fic!

Thanks! Yeah, I was admittedly being a little bit trollish, but the show has that same sort of sense of humor so I was hoping for people to laugh at the plot twist rather than be annoyed. But you never know. (I'm already working on something that will hopefully please those who were hoping it was going where it initially looked like it was going...)

Had an appointment and other stuff this morning, tried to nap in the afternoon but it didn't work so I did a bunch of cleaning.

Pretty good! Went to the beach and got sunburned despite wearing a ton of sunscreen, but I still had a nice time.

What hobbies are you trying to force yourself into doing, nonny?

It went okay, I guess. Not the way I had hoped but it wasn't too bad. Got some gaming in, just not with other people.

So far so good! Had a bbq this afternoon and had a great time! Stuffed my face, drank a few beers, smoked some excellent weed!

Washed my cat's blanket and my towels so she'll have clean bedding and clean dry towels when I give her a bath. Also washed my clothes, but priorities, heh. Didn't get around to the bath itself, although I took a shower.

The cat hit me in the eye for pulling her off the stove while I was cooking a couple days ago, so I kind of want to get some goggles before I try and bathe her again--the last time, I didn't even get all her fleas off before she climbed up my legs, clawed her way up my torso, and launched herself off my head. I bought a new basin to (try to) make it easier to submerge her body but let her stand with her head above water, without having to waste tons of water filling the tub.

Went to two nurseries, bought some woodland and alpine strawberries at one of them. Got groceries.

I'm hoping to actually sleep tonight since last night was so noisy (helicopters, a drunk girl having an existential crisis at top volume across the street, sirens) that I didn't actually sleep until 4 am and I've been loopy all day. Going hiking in the mountains tomorrow; I haven't been in years.

Procrastination. Tiredness. Failing on all fronts. Trying to blame it on period. To be fair, I am just being lazy. :(

Wellll technically its Sunday now but... i'm staying up late, drinking soda and drawing. Life is fantastic :D

I am having a small trip tomorrow, but life was so bad lately that my anxiety levels are going through the roof. Instead of being excited I am short-tempered, annoyed that I will have to rise really early, nervous that my body will be on it's usual bullshit. I am so tired of myself

I'm sick (not the big C tough fortunately) and threw out my back which the coughing only makes worse so I'm in a lot of pain and discomfort. Got an email on Friday that I have an interview for a job I really want so I'm both anxious and happy about it. Cant really process it due to the fever though. Fortunately the interview is the Wednesday after the next so I'll hopefully be healthy until then.

More like Sunday now, due to how late this post went up. So super-duper late.
