My lungs hurt so much from coughing nonstop for 3 days. I've come so close to throwing up from the force of coughing too. I also need to eat but I have zero appetite and feel nauseous. I wish I could be put in a coma.

Edit: scratch that; I did throw up.

I grew a beard which I hate but everyone else seems to love, which I guess means I was ugly before, I don't know

and that beard plus my bedhead and sleepy eyes makes me look like I orchestrated the 9/11 attacks

I am almost certainly coming down with a cold. Last night after I got home from work, nasal spray opened me up enough so that I wasn't a total gasper, but this morning, the whole facial breathing apparatus is clumsy and leaky.

This will be my first cold with a beard; I've gone clean-shaven all my life until about a month or so ago. This complicates things way more than I had planned for and if I could go home and shave the drat thing off, I would.

I'm grumpy about this, too, because tonight was the Halloween party at work (not, like, a cool party or anything; it's more for people to bring their kids, but the camaraderie and goofing off is always a pleasant event) and tomorrow is the chili cookoff which there's no way I'm going to lose unless I'm either too sick to cook/show up OR someone brings in another one of those crockpot dishes that's, like, shredded chicken and cheese whiz and noodles with the word "chili" sloppily and incorrectly affixed to it like the word "TAXI" on the side of the titular love bug in Herbie Goes Bananas (1980)

My last 45 minutes at work were just waiting for a call to drop in. I accomplished nothing in that time.

but nothing went wrong in that time, either, which is pretty remarkable whenever human beings are involved

Grief is never, ever done with you.

You mind says "but this was four years ago," and your heart says "but this was four years ago."

Got home from work to find mom with a 100 degree fever, in a lot of pain, and brought her to the emergency room, and we've been sitting here for like 3 hours with no progress waiting, and don't even know what's going on yet. Good poo poo

Best wishes to you and your mother. Keep us posted.

I met the loveliest cat at a cat cafe on Saturday, and on Tuesday my adoption application was approved. I was scheduled to bring her home this afternoon, but I just found out that she's been diagnosed with an upper respiratory infection and a fever, and she'll need to run a course of antibiotics and get the all-clear from her vet. That'll be about a week or so.

I'm glad they caught it, and I know she's being cared for and will be fine, but I was really looking forward to today.

Please don't think people are ignoring your situation, because jesus loving christ dude, but, like...I've been trying to type up a response to that multiple times and keep hitting cancel the last few hours and...I can't. There's nothing I can adequately say. I just hope you're with people who care about you and are safe. Goddamn, my condolences.

He said a straightforward thing, here, but not an easy thing to say, and I think it speaks for a lot of us.

Had to say goodbye to my cat today, taken way too loving soon by FIP.

That is such a cruel, cruel disease.

My car stalled out when I pulled into my parking spot at work this morning and now Ive found out that it's completely dead. The entire engine is blown. No compression on any cylinder. I have no car at all. I also have literally $0 in savings and i don't know what I'm going to do? I don't even know how I'm getting home tonight and back to work tomorrow? I kind of want to just loving die?

You don't have PMs. How did things work out for you tonight?

she is one year old and I adopted her literally only one month ago

if you check goons.xls you will recall that Maggie died in January after a short and terrible fight with FIP, which is supposed to be a rare illness

It’s the thought that counts

As eating only apples pointed out, this doesn't apply when there's clearly not been any kindness aforethought.

News alert, sorry, my phone loves to autocorrect poo poo constantly. It needs to make a noise or something when it does that since I never notice.

I wasn't being a poo poo; I know you work some rough jobs and didn't know if I'd missed some context.

Yeah, we're probably all in for some weird mornings soon.
