Remember when I said, “It\u2019s hard not to feel like the universe has it in for you when shit like this happens?”<\/p>\n

This happened last weekend just in time to fuck over my first 3-day weekend of the year.

Yep. That’s a positive COVID test. I have been honestly surprised at the number of people who had no idea what this was. Maybe my friend circle doesn’t have the need to test themselves as much as David and I do? Who knows.<\/p>\n

I guess I should count myself lucky that I made it into Year Three before getting it. But, it has really sucked even with being vaccinated and double boosted. I woke up sick last Saturday and it’s taken until today for me to feel halfway human again. I know, I know. I should count my blessings since so many people haven’t seen the other side of catching COVID.<\/p>\n

But, this week, I feel like wallowing in self-pity because nothing ever seems to work out right anymore. This makes the second time this year that days off from work have been fucked over by illness. I also found out that expressing hurt feelings can fuck you over because nobody listens or wants to take the time to actually talk to you<\/u> about what’s going on before they dismiss you as a complainer or someone with ill intent.<\/p>\n

Okay. That is enough vague whining. It’s time I snuggle back down into the black hole of COVID isolation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
