So I have been sick for like a week and a half, mostly manifesting in fever, a cough, and bone-deep exhaustion I cannot shake. I'm better than I have been, but still not over it. What is consciousness? What are brains? How do words?

So yeah, falling behind in writing thanks to that (and still not having a freaking desk), and if we were having a conversation that I abruptly dropped... I apologize, I just couldn't communicate like a human and have now lost the notifs in my inbox.

On the bright side, my computer came back and is actually working properly! They even replaced the broken key on it, which they didn't have to do... though they did reinstall the OS, leading to a few days of me sleepily cursing at my computer while I tried to remember how I like things set up.

We have food stamps for at least this month, which was nice and unexpected. Still fighting to get in contact with an actual human in order to get insurance and make sure we keep getting food stamps, but money for this month is excellent too.

Aaand I wrote 350 words today (this is a lot when I am still this fucking tired), and I got surprise sushi for lunch with leftovers to take home. The puppies didn't even do anything awful while we were out grocery shopping, and they got beef bones as a reward, so they are now the happiest puppies on earth. Today is not bad I guess, even if the plague is doing its best not to let me go and the dishes piling up in the sink are getting scary.

...I feel like I had something actually interesting to say when I opened this post, but the brainfog has me now. Whatever. Going to see if I can talk KM into early bed, because my energy for existing anymore today is rapidly running out.

We can have early bed if we can have early movies, otherwise I won't be anywhere near ready for sleeps.

Writing anything despite having the creeping crud is awesome. I stand and salute you! And you happy, wonderful, fixed computer.

Those things are also plenty interesting. Thank you for posting to let us know you are OK! (OK as in not stranded in the Amazon somewhere.)

Ugh, I'm so sorry you've been sick. That sounds wretched. :/

Yay for happy puppies and food and a working computer!
