I took my temp just now and it was normal for the first time in 13 days. I'm taking that as a good sign. But the vertigo. Oy vey.

Dammit! I just finished drawing up some paperwo--I mean, glad to hear you're on the mend. That's good. Goooood...
Still improving?

My fever came back Thursday, and today it's been intermittent, so I'm warping that into a positive indication I'm approaching the end of this stupid stuff. The vertigo that started earlier this week was especially troublesome today, though. I wisely stayed home, even though I wanted to drive out and grab something to eat. Driving while the interior of your car feels like it's spinning around you on both its X and Y axes simultaneously isn't worth a Little Caesar's Hot n' Fast pepperoni no matter how awesome the coupon is.

Gah! That vertigo sounds awful. Like being trapped with Flock of Seagulls for eternity… *shudder*

I was a radio DJ when they first hit here out. 1983-1984 was a synthesizer and Aqua Net fueled nightmare.

The Earth even opened up a hole in the ozone layer to try to kill them, but noooo, we had to fix it. People! Nature is about balance!

At Big Chain Pharmacy™ just now -
Me: "Ma'am, where are your restrooms?"
Her: "The restrooms are not currently open to the public. I'm sorry."
Me: "Ma'am, this is an emergency."
Her: "I understand, but..."
Me: "Ma'am..." (Here I proceeded to tell her, in exacting, eye-popping, and horrific detail, what was going to happen to the bags of Funyons behind me on the shelf if she refused me entry into the restroom).
Her: "Just go right through there, sir. Good luck."
The pen is mightier than the sword, but words are our greatest weapons.

You have all my sympathies. Scint and I caught it back at the beginning of November. She's still dealing with joint pain and I'm still dealing with a persistent painful cough all these months later, though it's better now than it was in December. Long Covid is a bastard.

Oh my, I hope everything gets better for you guys soon!! While my symptoms have been truly mild compared to those of millions, today makes Day 20 with the fever and cough. Even as mild as those are, they can wear a person down after a while.

It gets better with time, that's the best consolation I can offer. Covid rips through the body even when vaccinated and it takes a while to heal.
Better than the non vaccinated alternative though.

Today my fever has been up and down, which I'm taking as a good sign since it's not continually running high like it has been. With any luck I'm about to shake this crud and gaming can resume here at Sweet Home Calabama by next weekend.

Thanks!!
Ok. Here's the deal. I took two of my pain pills a little while ago (about an hour or so). No biggie. I've taken double before when needed. But I just took another because I bloody forgot I'd already taken them. Again, no biggie, it's just that I've not eaten anything today so they're on an empty stomach and the streets are still too icy in some spots to go get takeout. So, if I post anything weird, you'll know why.
Wheeeeee.....
Is that a prescription-only grade painkiller?

Is that a prescription-only grade painkiller?
It is. And pretty strictly monitored by my pain doctor. One of the commercial names it's known by is "Norco". It's actually a mix of Hydrocodone, an opioid, and Acetaminophen (Tylenol, an over the counter painkiller). I take the medium dose, 7.5 mg of Hydrocodone and 325 mg of Acetaminophen. It's highly addictive but I'm pretty careful with them (today was a fluke, believe me).
It's really the only thing I've found that keeps my chronic pain issues in check. I did try to go without it a few years ago and tried something else but I ended up having to get back on it. The trouble with opioids is that over prolonged use it can actually start causing pain of its own as the body's pain receptors get all wonky. It's a tricky thing to balance, but so far so good.

Got the results back from the PCR COVID test I took on Sunday. Right as I was about to click the button to see them, I thought to myself, "What if the results come back as inconclusive?"
They came back inconclusive.
I am not making this up. I had never actually heard of anyone getting this result before. And bang. It's me.

Doing pretty well. I finally got a negative result on my COVID test so I can rejoin the rest of humanity. Some plans I'd made several weeks ago to hang out with a friend got canceled for non-plague reasons so I'm not doing anything special over the weekend. Maybe some housework. Maybe.

My son and his gf just got the keys to their new place. Lee, our landlord, didn't even charge them a deposit. And they can start moving things in and not pay any rent until March 1st.
I'm beyond ecstatic.

Yarrrr!
I've never played any edition of Twilight 2000. Ever. One of the guys who plays in my group is trying to get a group together in his hometown so he calls me to talk about the game, either forgetting I know nothing about the game or not caring that I don't know anything about it. One day when I felt really cruddy with COVID he called, asked how I was doing, then launched into a 40 minute recap of the game and how he kept screwing it up because he thought it would have been the same rules as the original game from the 1980s. I was polite and said lots of "Uh huh" and "Oh, ok" to him until he ran out of steam...lol
Also, during the 1980s a friend of mine was in Army intelligence stationed in eastern Europe. He said he played the game once and realized that all too well that what he was simulating could turn real in an instant and never played it again...lol
