I'm sick! - Update!

UPDATE! - After a few days of -way- more sleep than what I'm used to and medication every 6 hours or so, I'm feeling mostly back to normal! I'm just left with some minor congestion, but I feel way better than I did. I should be good to get back to work now.

That being said, I'm gonna shoot for a 22nd update. Between husband's doctor appointment tomorrow and JURY DUTY on the 20th (I requested an excusal, so here's hoping...), I'll be hampered a little more.

You might wonder what that means for the following update, but it's a bonus update! It won't be like... a normal day. It'll be something more like to what we saw with Conrad after the Halloween event~ I'm gonna see about putting in a couple of those.

Speaking of husband, my updates might shift around a bit next month too. He's scheduled for cataract surgery next month! One eye on the 3rd, then the other on the 17th (with followups after each). This is something he's needed for a while, but we only found out recently that his insurance will cover it due to his other medical issues. So next month will be touchy on updates, but it'll be at least a Dwayne and some other minor bonus content.

Anyhow, thanks for all the well-wishes, folks! I really appreciate it <3

--------------------------------------------------------

I think this is the first time I've been sick sick since I got covid back in 2023, and I don't like it, haha.

I either have the flu or a cold, but either way, I'm gonna have to delay the update for a little bit. I thought I could get work done today, but I've been unable to do anything as I just stare blankly at my screen.

The last two days were filled with so much sneezing that even the smallest cough hurts around the bottom of my ribcage. I feel completely exhausted, and I just found out I have a fever of right at 100.

Husband is gonna go grab me some drugs, and I'm gonna wrap up nice and warm and just try to rest.

I usually fight these things off pretty fast, so hopefully it won't be -too- long. I'll let you guys know when I get back to work though!

This isn't how I wanted to start the year off, buuuut... it can't be helped I suppose.

Thanks for understanding, guys!

Just to be safe, you should probably see a doctor if you haven’t already.

Please be wiser than me and take your time. I thought I won 4 days of work, because I ignored my flu and then it came back 10 fold and knocked me out for the last 3 weeks. Your work and especially your health is worth the wait.

I hope you get better soon and drink plenty of water and if your throat sore try easier foods like yogurt oatmeal and rice. 🫂💊
