I got my second shot of the vaccine on Wednesday! I then spent yesterday in an absolutely horrible preview of what COVID-19 would have been like in my body, and seriously, thank God and Gramma I didn’t get it, because yesterday was miserable. Fever and feverish chills, shakes, every single atom in my body hurt on a pain level i haven’t had to deal with in a long time, and utter exhaustion — for the first half of the day I just couldn’t stay awake longer than an hour. I did end up taking Tylenol and it helped in the way wearing earplugs at a heavy rock concert helps, I guess: took the edge off, but you know what’s lurking there underneath. It was abysmal. I’ll stop talking about it. Anyway, I feel better today in the way you feel better a few days after you get hit by a truck, but compared to yesterday, I’ll take it.

We’re having work done on the downstairs bathroom so that Feathers (my murder husband) can move into the basement in the middle of May. This is a money-saving move on both of our parts; I’ll get some income from a space I’m not really using, and he’ll get a more affordable rent. The pandemic / quarantine has hit us both financially so we’re going to combine some things for a year or two until we have some more respectable savings available. I don’t really do roommates so it’s really going to be just like a separate rental, except he’ll come up here for the kitchen and I’ll go down there for the laundry. Crown has thrown himself into this, which is great, because up until this week I’ve been absolutely slammed with work. He’s really come through and I am super excited for the extra income.

However, it’s been obnoxious because of course there are all kinds of horrible fucknoises coming from the basement which makes it really headache-inducing and hard to concentrate and yes i know that’s what its like when people are fitting 2x4s into the frame and cutting pipe but wahhh its loud. And I’m v tired of having people in my house.

Around that I’ve been getting ready to launch a few fan projects in May that I’m excited about, trying to survive work, and trying not to get so depressed about gestures at the world in general that i spent 42 hours a day playing Sims 4. I don’t know. Having the second shot means in 2 weeks the world kind of opens up again but I’m just so. Worn. Out. From everything.

Also my birthday is 03 may and I’m turning 39 and that’s just a big ol what the fuck.
