I’m still sick – I can finally breathe through both nostrils, but I can’t stop coughing now. I tested neg for Covid, so it’s just an annoying common cold. But I def was less sick the one time I got Covid – Let me paint you a pretty picture: I’ve gone through 6 boxes of tissues, the skin around my nose is raw as fuck even though I’ve solely been using the tissues with lotion in it, I keep having coughing fits even though I’ve sucked on a whole bag of Ricola, and every time I sneeze (frequently), snot flies everywhere. Boys, try not to fall in love with me.
It’d be fine if I could just wallow in my own self-pity alone, but I picked up Milo from my parents and all he wants to do is play. He keeps bringing me his toys 🥹
Also, he removed all the eyes from his favorite toys 😅 Should I be concerned?
I walked him to Petco Park so he could burn off some energy, but I forgot there was a ballgame this afternoon. I could hear the roar of the crowd from blocks away. Were the Padres winning?
Nope. Just a fuck ton of Cubs fans in SD 🙄
I took 3 days off from work, so I’m back at work and catching up. We got a note that the CEO didn’t like one of the emails that went out for Mother’s Day.
Direct quote: ‘I think it could be a lot sexier.’
First of all, I’ve been told by Marketing to avoid using models who are showing their midriffs bc our customers are conservative, and second of all, you are 85-years-old. Pump your brakes, my guy ✋🏻
I didn’t design it, but I worked on the international job based on that email with translations for 15+ countries and 500+ assets 😵💫 The domestic email’s being redesigned, and I’ll have to redo the entire international job based on the new creative first thing tomorrow.
Also, I started my period today. As boss lādāy would say, ‘The devil is working hard today!’
Update:
My coworkers talked me off the ledge by reminding me that I’ve survived worse 😮💨
Did you know that when you instacart medicine, you have to meet the shopper at your door and show your driver’s license like you’re buying alcohol??? I usually do contactless delivery when I can, but today, not only did Derek see me in all my morning glory, he also saw my wack ass new driver’s license photo 😅
Poor Milo boi is bored as fuck while I’m over here struggling to breathe through both nostrils, so I dropped him off at my parents’ for a sleepover bc he just wants to play and I’m in no mood 😑
I packed his food but forgot it at home and didn’t realize till I had already exited the freeway. He’s a v picky eater, so I turned around and drove 20 minutes back to my apartment. I’d say I had brain fog from being sick, but I’ve forgotten his food at home other times 😅
Contrary to popular belief, I don’t have too much physical contact with other people LOL. I do use the elevator in my building every day when I take Milo for a walk, and all the tenants touch the same keypad to access the elevator. I also use the keypad outside to get back in the building. And keypads on both parcel lockers almost daily from Amazon packages. It’s more likely I picked something up from there 🤢 Gonna carry hand sanitizer around like it’s 2020 now.
I’ll just be here watching the Padres game in my chonies if anyone wants to come over and be the big spoon.
Update:
Welp.
2/10 day – Would’ve been a 0/10, but the Dodgers also lost to the Giants today, so I added 2 points 😜
I woke up this morning trying not to swallow (what else is new? LOL JK). I had a sore throat, and it felt like I was swallowing glass. I instacarted some meds and went back to bed. By the time I woke back up, my order had been delivered. I was supposed to meet the delivery guy to show him my ID bc of the meds, but it looks like they were refunded bc they were sold out. Ugh. Like, it doesn’t have to be that exact brand. But he didn’t try to replace it, so I guess I’m just treating it with Throat Coat and Emergen-C 😅
I can count on one hand how many times I’ve gotten sick since Covid. I left my apartment Tuesday to drop off some goodies at Pammie’s before her surgery, and I left for not even an hour yesterday to go to the bank. Going to the bank downtown sucks, man. It was a 5-minute drive, but it took me 20 minutes to find street parking, 5 minutes to walk to the bank once I did find parking, the bank was inside a financial building that a security guard had to buzz me into, and when I went to the teller window, we were separated by bulletproof glass 😳 I haven’t had any physical contact with anyone all week, but I did roll up all the cash I got at the bank for coke Christmas gifts, so maybe it was from there.
I’ll just be at home drinking my Throat Coat and watching The Great British Baking Show if anyone wants to come over and be the big spoon.
Get you a sister who drops off a bouquet of your favorite flowers (peonies) to brighten your day when you have covid (you should be writing this down).
Welp, I finally got covid. Half our tour bus got sick towards the end of our trip. I took a test as soon as I got home last night, went to bed, and woke up 20 hours later 😅
Spain recap soon. Perhaps when this virus has left my body ✌🏼
Update: Supplemental paid sick leave for covid ended in California in 2022, so I guess I’ll be reporting those sick days in kronos 😅
I woke up with a tickle in my throat. I’ve literally only gotten one cold since the pandemic, and I’ve never gotten covid. I used to get sick all the time, but that was when I would go into the office every day, and I’d pick up everyone’s germs. I don’t know how I got sick, when I don’t go anywhere or see anyone. Maybe one of my doordashers was sick LOL. Anyway, it’s raining, so I’m just gonna stay in bed all day if you wanna come be the big spoon.
I caught my first cold in nearly three years and have been down for the past two weeks! Apologies to my new neighbor who’s had to listen to my nonstop coughing, sneezing, and four seasons of The Great British Baking Show: Holidays.
I went home sick from work today. Besides drinking my weight in orange juice, I’ve been staring at this picture of Adam Levine for the past twenty minutes… and probably for another ten.
