been testing negative since thursday, so i gotta go into work tomorrow. my cat's gonna really miss the all-day hangouts and cuddles.

i still have this weird taste in my mouth even though i finished my paxlovid on friday. my mouth always tastes metallic and rancid, like i'm sucking on some nickels that had been coated in spoiled lard. just a really unpleasant flavor. cinnamon gum seems to overpower it and salty foods make it worse.

poo poo, here in The Netherlands they're only giving it to 60+ and I don't even know how I could just buy a dose. with the flu if you are not in the target demographic you can buy a shot at the pharmacy and have your gp administer it, but I don't think you can for covid.
(for flu i never have to buy one because i can get a free flu shot at work)

Been rocking the vid since Monday. Sucks. No loss of smell like last time, but definitely giving me congestion. I honestly think I have multiple things doing on at the same time.

First time I had it a couple years ago it was surprisingly mild. Fever and just pure exhaustion. I had a splitting headache one night as well.

This time I've been dealing with awful/stupid fever dreams, including having a song stuck on loop on my head an entire night and congestion in my head. My ears are plugged up slightly and that part feels more like a sinus infection than covid. Have a awful sore throat today which I hate.

I was out this weekend at an event and was trying to be careful on not touching things and then my face, but I probably goofed at some point or had someone breath on me. It doesn't help they after 40 or so of years on this planet my body also decided the fall season is trying to kill me and I apparently have a seasonal allergy now that causes my nose to run and eyes to water if I go outside.

On the plus side none of my friends or family I saw this past weekend have gotten sick, so at least I didn't spread to them.

it can have wildly different symptoms each time. the first time i got it i thought i just had a really bad cold because it started with a sore throat, then came the sinuses, then the headaches, sleep disturbances, bubble guts, etc.

It's been happening a lot to a bunch of people we know, the vaccination guy we talked to today said that the scheduling system doesn't know how many doses they get so it's basically a game of getting in there as early as possible

which of course fucks working people lmao. I can't go get a shot at 9:30 AM

We scheduled a flu shot + covid shot at the local Walgreens and the Covid shot got canceled but the flu shot was fine

We rolled in on time to watch a very old couple (unmasked of course) roll up to the counter and ask if there were any covid shots available and get rejected

very cool. best country on earth. we have the tools.

i didn't think about it until the Walgreens guy told me honestly what was happening today (ie 20 doses are available, the computer system lets people set 50 appointments, whoops, everyone > 20 gets hosed)

We were scheduling our appointments for late in the day because duh, that's when we're available

Guess I'll remedy that dipshit thought since my current job doesn't give a poo poo if I wander off at 9 AM

a more tragic outcome for the walgreens corporation would be having a vaccine they had to throw out coz it didn’t get used. that’s money down the mf drain. but a person or even a whole community that turns up for a vax but can’t get one? that’s a free sacrifice they’re just willing to make. because they know you’re addicted to the fuckin needle and will come back time and time again until u get your hit
