Sorry for being afk. Aside from the holidays I've actually been quite sick. Feeling better now, so I'm getting caught up with work. What has everyone been up to these last few days?
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying I'm glad to hear you are feeling way better now, Yuu-Chan, it must've been sick season as my family (all except one) were unwell a few days ago too. Me and my family have just been chillin', getting ready for the New Year, how has work been going?
yuuzora@yuuzora @meisterman1985 Sorry to hear that you were unwell also. What were/are your symptoms?
@HollyMommy Yeah, my bestie's whole family and my mother got sick as well. I was courteous enough to mask up and quarantine the best I could, but mother dearest couldn't even be bothered to cover her cough, so I'm hoping my step father and oldest sister don't get it as well. So far they're good though. What were your family's symptoms? I had fever, chills, body ache, and a nasty cough which I still have.
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying Oh no! That sounds like horrible symptoms, I hope no one else gets sick either. And my family just felt really congested, bad coughs, headaches (in our mom's case), body aches (in our mom's case again), runny/stuffy nose and personally I had heat flashes as my body fought off a fever (which I ended up not getting thankfully). But luckily we weren't sick for too long as our bodies really were working overtime to get rid of pathogens.
yuuzora@yuuzora Aye. My toasted matcha tea and oranges have been my best friend, though I have to figure out how to get more iron so those vitamin Cs can be absorbed and used better. lol. So I get an excuse to eats some meats. ^o^
I imagine back to work traffic is madness. I live in a small town, so it isn't that bad. You live near a big city or freeway?
I felt this post on a personal level. I have a bad tendency to let my bleeding heart get the better of me. Had some people I know online as just loosely casual chat friends. But then one has been in a bad depressive state due to a breakup.
But then now for almost a year, it's been as you describe. Sending messages first thing in the morning almost sounding like a bot with short messages of woe is me. Shooting down any encouragement, attempts to help, mentions of my own similar lived experiences to offer them perspective and suggestions how to handle their situation.
Then come back to start this line of communication all over again a few days later while I am at work. Mental health during times of hardship is a challenge and I am totally sympathetic, but even a bleeding heart like me has limits.
Theirs something incredibly weird with over sharing your medical past with a stranger and how your bipolarness and shit is making you wanna end your life. Then to try and cheer them up only for them to shoot you down and make it feel like it's impossible while WE'RE AT WORK. Jesus Christ I feel incredibly drained having to deal with that, I just need to say "damn that's crazy" as a response cause I really don't wanna hear your life story if you ain't even interested in mine.
What kind of potato? Regular potato = a call for new year's resolution. Sweet Potato = Blessings for the new year. Mini potato = You got some sick evil plans going on in that head of yours.
Well. Not off to a great start this week. I caught the flu just before the premiere of the Sonic movie in a few days. Really hope I get over this soon. I made plans to join friends seeing the movie, which happens to also be on my birthday. Anyone got a healing spell to cast?
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying Make sure to rest a lot and try to take medicine, Cookie! I caught my brothers colds because they were near me so much lol.
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying Is it an ugly Christmas sweater or just a regular Christmas one?! Maybe it's also just a nice sweater? Either way, can't wait to see it!
I got one with the energy of 20 if you want her. Be mindful she has 0 chill and is always in play mode setting.
Her favorite hobbies are peeling wallpaper, pulling up old carpeting, taking down curtains and fixtures. Basically if you're in the home improvement business do I have the feline companion for you!
She also does pest control. If by pest control I mean she tortures her victims slowly. Sometimes biting one in half before offering the remaining leftovers to the next victim in some twisted demented game only my cat seems to appreciate....
Ghost@kuharido Sounds cute but my living situation doesn't allow pets unfortunately
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying But...but what about me? You said you'd take me as your cat, so where am I supposed to stay? ಥ╭╮ಥ
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying Yummy! Thank you, Ghost Babe, you are the meowster a cat-girl could have ( ˘ ³˘)♥.
Ghost@kuharido Indeed, you are welcome. What's your favorite kind of cookie?
Rose Mommy ®@wei_ying I love chocolate chip cookies! But peanut butter cookies are delicious too-you can just make whatever! You've done enough by just letting me stay in your house :3.
Gabriel@gabriel_true Sheesh, Wei over here talking like Juwu. Think the cutesy mannerisms is spreading like some sort of kawaii disease, heh!
Ghost@kuharido I enjoy kawaii. My favorite cookie would be peanut butter.
Just got back to work. It was a good holiday, but then craziness on the road followed by absolute chaos at my evening job. Here we go again. -3-
