The Good Morning Thread

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone is having a good weekend thus far.

At least you get to see a dentist. I have a tooth that's rotting in real-time, and I don't have the funds to see a dentist. And I need to find a different Dentist than Gentle Dental, because it seems that they're only into Dentistry for the money. At least, that's the feeling I got while I was in there last year.

Unfortunately it does seem like some dentist and doctor offices only care about the money and not helping their patients. I hope you can get that tooth taken care of sooner than later, I had to use care credit to pay for my procedures I had done early this year. My appointment went much smoother and better than last time thankfully. Anyways I hope you all had a good weekend! I still get one more day off of work so it's still my weekend.

Good morning everyone! I hope everyone had a great weekend, and I hope this week is as amazing just like you all are!

I got a new medication.Indomethacin ER 75 mg. From what I understand, it's like Ibuprofen, but on steroids. I've only been using it for two days now, and already I can feel a difference. Maybe in a couple of weeks, I'll be able to walk normal again... and then maybe.....

Well, today is the beginning of a new week.
Truth be told, I've been battling some mild depression over the past few days. Yet, I'm expected to plaster a fake smile on my face and say "Thank you/Have a nice day", like, twenty million times today. ...

I'm having a bit of a problem maintaining the Status Quo right now.

Good evening everyone! Welp my wife and I have Covid. I started getting a sore throat on Thursday that lasted all day, so I stayed home from work the past couple of days. Unfortunately for me I only had enough sick time for one day so the other day will be covered via my only vacation day I had left. I got sick earlier this year and I wonder if I had Covid then too, I just didn't bother testing for it last time.

 

[Senkusha]

That COVID is a B-word. Tanya and I had it back in January, and as a result, I think that's part of what's totally zapping my energy levels-- what's causing all the inflammation in my body. But I can't prove it. There's no test for it (Long Covid). I miss the days when I could think functionally after working a full day. I can't anymore. I'm too exhausted. I'll start something and then three minutes into it, I'll totally loose my train of thought. So I end up just staring at the computer screen like a dunce. It totally sucks. Be careful with that Covid stuff, and be sure you're rested up before resuming anything resembling normal.

Unfortunately for me I still have Covid and I tried to return to work on Tuesday, only to be sent home and I stayed home the entire week so I hope I still have a job. x_X My wife is feeling better but I still have somewhat of a lingering cough (it comes and goes), my nose is stuffed and my ear is clogged. I'm sorry you have long covid @Senkusha. I've seen posts on Reddit about people saying they have it, and others saying they lost their sense of smell because of it. (I can still taste and smell things currently.) I have to go back to the office on Tuesday regardless if I'm still sick or not, though the head manager of the office told me not to return until I'm symptom free. :S If I don't feel better by this Thursday, I'm going to the doctor because then it would be two weeks since I first got sick.

Good evening everyone and good morning if you're in another timezone!

Good morning! Today, in Tales of Getting oldER, I woke up to discover that my fists refused to clench. That's right... feel free to attempt to brush your teeth without the ability to grip a toothbrush. Other mildly annoying side effects include:
Not remembering your dreams... or anything else relatively important for that matter.
Falling asleep immediately after drinking a double-cup of coffee.
Forgetting why you entered a room in the first place.
Taking at least twenty different pills that keep you alive.
And Forgetting that you already took your morning dose half-an-hour ago, but realizing this fifteen minutes AFTER you've left your apartment while commuting to work.

In other sensational news, I managed to get a lot of work done on CHIBI, and I'm really feeling the excitement of playtesting the system soon!

Oh, and it's Monday.

I took yesterday off because I had a fever. Sundays are the worst where I work. Sure, you work 9 to 3, but there's no break (and often I'm working at least half-an-hour longer than I should be, because, YAY, I'm a Supervisor. And yesterday, I wasn't dealing with the lack of a break, standing on my feet for six, plus hours, and dealing with an hour-an-a-half commute, EACH WAY, when I felt like my head was going to explode.

Anyway, that's enough rambling for now. Off to cause more chaos I go!

Good morning!

So, a bit of wonderful news! My partner, Tanya got her judgement order from the Court. Her SSI has been reinstated! Last night, I was in tears, because now not all of the financial weight for our survival is totally dependent upon just me. Now I just need to find a better, higher paying job, with a shorter commute (or none, hint, hint, Universe), that doesn't cause extreme levels of stress. (I know, that's a bit of a stretch. )

 

[Pizza Box]

Yes!

I'm actually really glad to hear that, seriously. Congrats. I'll be crossing my fingers for you finding a job too.

I'm happy to hear that Tanya's SSI has been reinstated! I hope things work out with the job search and with your game system! Good afternoon everyone! I still get to keep my job thankfully, not sure if I mentioned that here or not yet. I just can't be late or call in for a while.

I know it's not morning... I just got home from work. An incredibly stressful day. I shouldn't have gone to work in the mental state I'm in.

Anyway, I lost a single earbud today. The location feature... didn't work for the one bud I lost. So it's sitting somewhere behind the Chelsea Bus station in the weeds, never to be seen again, for sure.

I'm sad.

Good morn. vwv It's been a while because I'm naturally quiet. But since last time I was here I've swapped entirely to Linux! That has been nice. My travel computer definitely feels more responsive now.

 

[Senkusha]

Oooo! Which distro? I miss using Linux, but I'm too preoccupied to bother install it right now.

So, it's afternoon. Good day, mate(s)?
I got a couple things going on. We started planting seeds in our new Hydroponic Tower. Super excited to see the seedlings sprout!
I'm looking at new headphones. I miss my music.
I'm about 98% completed with the Warrior Archetype in CHIBI. Super thrilled about that. At this rate, I'll have all six Archetypes completed in about two months....

Oooo! Which distro? I miss using Linux, but I'm too preoccupied to bother install it right now.

I've got Mint Cinnamon Edition on my main computer. It's the one I tried first. Then I've got Fedora XFCE on my travel laptop. =3 It probably doesn't "need" XFCE but it does future proof it a bit. I no longer own a Windows computer!

I'm looking at new headphones. I miss my music.

I've been there. TToTT I enjoy budget audiophile headphones, so replacing them is... expensive.

Oooh, nice! I'll have to poke around it at some point and see if I can't make a beta character. Probably have to adjust her as things finish, but y'know. It's something to do.

Good mlorm. Today I bought myself Halloween candy to snack on throughout the month and got ZRAM working properly on my computer! So that's fun.

Good evening everyone! I found a dead squirrel in my backyard today. x_X I just left it alone and let nature take it's course. I just happened to look outside again to see the state of the squirrel and seen a black cat eating it. :V At least the stray cat gets a meal, cats are my favorite animals so I was very tempted to try and pet it but I better leave it alone and let it eat, especially since it would run away from me and I wouldn't want to get sick from being near the dead squirrel. I just seen this about 10 minutes ago so I'm not sure if the cat is still outside or not, thankfully my cat hasn't detected another cat nearby lol.

 

[Sailor Marin]

Understandable.

Today I got my vaccinations updated. Hopefully this is the last busy day for me for a while x3
