@IanAMartin HAS MOVED!ANOTHER DAY OF BEING PRODUCTIVE!¹
• got up!
• got clean!
• got out of the house!
• got inoculated against CoVid and ‘Flu!!
¹ because I expect to be an inanimate object tomorrow because of the inoculation
MORE THINGS DONE!
• walked up a hill!
• got inoculated!
• tried to drop off a package but went to the wrong company!
• had a donut and latté!
• read some of my book!
• mailed(!) a letter(!)!
• bought a few groceries!
• spoke to another tenant who’s awesome!
A couple of things did not get done, one of which is the package not being sent. The other is getting my Too Big Bike to Community Bikes for donation to someone who needs a Big Enough Bike.
Both of those things can happen later this week, after The Vaccine Caused Exhaustion.
Also, that donut was a Tiramisu Cream. It, plus my foam-bedecked latté, means I should probably point a fire hose at my face to resume being clean.
Messy donuts & coffee are best donuts & coffee.
Okay, let’s read the last few pages of my book and try napping again.
Huh. My arm’s a bit sore. You know, in the muscle, stiff, a bit of ‘oh, that’s odd, I don’t think I was doing 5x the normal arm excercises yesterday…’ sort of thing.
I can’t raise my arm above my shoulder without it being painful. Huh.
It’s a good thing I’m not dancing… or fencing… or dancing with a fence… or fencing with a dancer… or…
My shoulder is still painful.
I feel kinda tired.
Both of these are odd at this time of the day.
Still have a sore shoulder.
Haven’t fallen asleep yet.
So far, the sore shoulder is the only weird part.
Stay tuned for eight hours from now when I post something while laying in the middle of the floor of my apartment!
Shoulder tender.
Stretching produces sound akin to a string of firecrackers.
My forehead feels a bit warm.
It still seems too early to tell, however.
Please send #Vimto.
I haven’t slept since somewhere after 5am.
Everything aches, despite taking a Tylenol Ultra Strength¹ tablet.
I will now have breakfast and return to bed, first turning off my alarm which should go off at 8am.

I just finished watching the latest episode of LWT with John Oliver. On my phone. In bed.
I would really like to sleep now.
Please? Can I sleep? If @giflian’s Sando can have Brush™, why can I not have Genuine Sleep®?
Hooray! I slept for…
[:: checks time ::]
about an hour?
[:: heavy sigh ::]
Another hour!
Blowing my nose does little to clear it.
Most of my body aches.
My storm ache is queasy.
I don’t care about typos anymore.
I feel like I’ve been hit by a bus.
@Erased_Citizen, I have no idea what you’re going through, Nate. I hope you have good drugs
Please put your cats in boxes (they’ll love that part) and ship them to me immediately. They will absorb my aching and make me sleep k in the restorative way I need.
Then come and pick them up on Friday because I cannot take care
Of them there are too many.
Every 16 seconds I groan from the bottom of my abdoamen with a heartfelt ‘ooohhhh God…’
If I ran across a post saying something like “hey, there’s a
Comet heading here and we only have about an hour before it hits’ the not thought I would have would be ‘could it be two hours, I’d really like to get some more sleep right now. “
Comet heading here and we only have about an hour before it hits’ the not thought I would have would be ‘could it be two hours, I’d really like to get some more sleep right now. “
More of the same.
Had a sudden thought. It’s possible that my body’s system is being hosted on #Azure! This would explain why I am not functioning correctly just now!
I am now getting up, going to the bathroom, then having a shower. It’s unlikely any of that will result in me feeling any better, but it will mean I will have to lie down on TOP of the bed now, instead of INSIDE it.
It’s the small victories.
Giflian@IanAMartin Spiegel's favourite song
@giflian Oh! Right! I had forgotten that Ekburg Throgmorten III loves that tube. Does it matter what version? Also ossinly a hit would be “Slippery People” but I’ve probably already asked you about that at some point, haven’t I. Never mind.
@IanAMartin he got mad when he heard a live recording once, so just the original Remain in Light I guess.
Amira Lumina@IanAMartin Sorry. Can relate so hard.
@IanAMartin I think you're doing the right thing: if you keep referring to post-vaccine suffering it may not happen, making you look really silly
@giflian I do not suffer after Covid vaccine, I merely cannot do anything due to having no energy. Laying down and sleeping a great deal is my default setting; as a result, the doing of being mandatory is not a dramatic alteration.
@giflian Even for me, the second half of the last sentence is beyond tortured grammatically. The most frustrating aspect is that it’s entirely correct according to writing structures.
@IanAMartin the vaccine has already gotten to your brain!
I hope it’s not too bad, then. My default is tired already, so I’m not sure if I noticed a difference; this time the vaccines mostly gave me sore arms. Everyone gets their own special set of side effects.
@giflian The very first dose I got left me with all of the side effects except vomiting and diarrhea (which are the ones to skip, if you can). Since then it’s merely been to put me to bed for 36 hours with no option for anything else being considered until completed.
About two years or 18 months ago, I thought ‘huh, seems okay, maybe a little tired’ then about 45 minutes later I realized that I was not vertical much longer. I went to my manager, told them I was going home. Once out of the building I thought ‘maybe all I needed was sunshine and fresh air’ but went home and decided ‘actually, let’s have a na… 💤’ and was out like a light for five hours.
So, I expect the same to happen in about twelve hours or thereabouts.
But… maybe not.
Taken with the ’flu shot, however, I’m prepared for being good for nought until Friday; just in case.
